In most landlocked neighborhoods a man’s “whip” is his customized ride – his prized mode of transportation. Kelly’s prized “Whip” for less than perfect surf during 2008 was his 5-8 18 ¾ 2 5/16 swallow tail. Evident by Kelly’s phenomenal start with wins at both Snapper and Bells – this board came alive and skated over the flat spots. This is Kelly and Al’s re-worked version of the Flyer – with a few secret changes this board is faster and more forgiving. If you’re looking for a board that excels when your shortboard seems to bog – this is the board for you. The Whip should be ridden 3-4 inches smaller than your shortboard – a ¼ wider – and the same thickness.
