LSD Surfboards: Noa Chlorine
The Noa Chlorine; Squash and Round Tail Options
Shaper: Luke Short
Model: Noa Chlorine
Created for the annual Stab High Waco air comps, this model is a variation on the standard Noa Model.
Never one to over-complicate things, Noa's original brief was brief... "Maybe a 5’10” and a 5’11”, that will do."
We got to work tweaking his base model with a few things in mind; he'd need to gain speed quickly, then keep that momentum before being able to launch off the end section as high as possible into a stable landing.
We condensed Noa’s day to day 6’0” down to a 5’10” adding 1/4” of width, as well as pushing out the nose and tail area to keep the outline drivey when put on a rail.
A lower nose entry rocker allows for rapid speed on take-off, and has just enough tail rocker to give pop and release. We pumped in some extra thickness at the chest area, keeping the deck fairly rolled to avoid a chunky rail.
As a guide, the Noa Chlorine should be ridden around 2- 3 inches shorter than your good wave performance board and/or 2–3 inches longer than your Twinny or fish style
