The original Pocket Rocket changed the perception of SUP short-boarding four years ago. The all-new 2013 Pocket Rocket"s outline has the width more forward, handling higher speed on bigger waves while providing excellent stability for its length. The mono-concave bottom hull provides instant acceleration and the turns are best described as electric. Four years of short-board experience is all packed into this board that excels in clean surf as well as in onshore and mushy conditions.

"Mono-concave running the entire length of the board."
