The Pirate Hooker is our most popular and exciting everyday shortboard in our line.  It shreds in knee high surf to a few feet overhead.  It has a mid entry rocker but the rocker is slightly staged and is flatter through the middle of the board between your feet, which allows for a larger sweet spot and more glide through softer sections in more grovel-like conditions.  The board also has a medium tail rocker with a touch of flip off the tail allowing for explosive release off the lip, and tight turns in the pocket!  There is some added foam under the front foot for extra paddle power, and it has a deeper single to double concave which allows the Pirate Hooker to accelerate quickly from the take off and straight out of turns without missing a beat.  And Lastly, the rails are slightly fuller than our traditional short board (The Koozie) which gives it a more forgiving and flowing ride.
