Rapid Entry is a concept Rusty started working on in 2020.



"I usually put the deepest part of the concave between the feet. “The Sweet Spot.” “The Zone.”


I experimented with making the concave deeper in the center.

Then started moving it forward.



I thought what if…



So, I moved the deepest part of the concave into the entry area.

Under the chest.

Added more tail rocker.



The What? was the first Model.

Very deep in the entry.

• -.35
• -.25 in the center
• -.15 in the Zone.

Feedback was unanimous.

Paddled faster.

Got into waves quicker.

Held on turns yet still had a tight arc.



I blended it a little more. Gradual.

-.35 -.30 -.25

Better results.


I have since done various depths on different existing models.

The SD RT RE has been highly rated by our team and customers who have either tried or purchased one.

The deepest part of the concave, in the entry, is .22 +-

“Best board ever!”

It even works on longer boards, up to the mid to high

7-foot range.

Same concept, just shallower.

The Lowrider has also been very well received with a subtle Rapid Entry.


By having the deepest part of the concave in the entry, it feeds and keeps the water under the board early on and generates more lift and speed and drive.

I believe this is a big breakthrough and it’s going to be a game changer."

Nothing new. I had a board made off of of one of Gabe Medina's files back in 2014 that had the same thing going on. I will say that it was one of my favorite borts ever.

i had a coil with deep concave up front that had moments of brilliance and moments of feeling like it was sticking and catching up front. i don't recall it feeling like it caught waves especially well but it was a pretty svelt little shortboard.

Murray Bourton has his version with the cathedral hull on a few of his boards. Started with the fat bullet model I suppose 10 or more years ago. Still doing them in his Pinger and Hydro twin models. Reminded me I should get another Hydro twin from him soon.

Afterthought...I've currently got 2 boards with tri plane bottoms which are under the front foot-forward of centre and have in the past remarked about how good they paddle compared to other boards.

From my experience can work in slopey/soft waves.

In Powerful/hollow/slabby waves it is a bad idea- I call em wheelie boards because they don’t want to engage when paddling into a wave

I’ve shaped the identical boards but w the deepest part of the concave moved around.
