The Gerry Lopez Little Darlin Came About When Gerry Moved Back To Oregon And Found He Was Struggling To Catch Some Of The Waves Up There. A Combination Of Thick Neoprene Wetsuits And Not Quite The Power Of Hawaii Led Gerry To Design An Easy Paddling Mid-Length Which Would Still Perform In The Decent Quality, Large And Fast Conditions.
The Little Darlin Has Plenty Of Performance On Tap But Has The Benefit Of The Longer ‘Mid-Length’ Which Paddles Fast And Catches Waves Early. This Little Darlin Is A Great Option For A Multitude Of Different Riders And A Wide Range Of Conditions. The ‘Mid-Length’ Category Is Hot Right Now, And This Little Darlin Really Ticks All The Boxes If You Want One Board That Can Do It All; From Thigh-High Fun Sessions To Well Overhead, Fast And Hollow Waves.
Pretty Much Anyone Can Ride The Little Darlin (Depending On How You Size It), If You Don’T Get The Wave Time You’D Like, You’Re The Wrong Side Of 40 Or Your Fitness Isn’T What It Was, You’Re Going To Love This Beautiful Board. You May Have Arrived At The Point Where You Want To Progress From The Mini Mal Or Foamy But You’Re Not Quite Ready To Drop Down To A Performance Shortboard Then The Little Darlin Would Make The Perfect Addition To Your Quiver.
The Little Darlin Is Equipped With A Five Fin Fcs Ii Fin Set-Up Which Gives You The Option To Ride It With A Thruster Or Quad Configuration Depending On The Conditions And Personal Preference. A Single To Double Concave Bottom Shape Delivers Heaps Of Speed And Plenty Of Hold When The Waves Are Big And Demanding.
