Compact 5'6" Performance Shape
Measuring 5'6" x 19 1/2" x 2 7/16", The Solution offers a compact footprint designed for quick, responsive surfing. The shorter length can help keep the board maneuverable underfoot, while the 19 1/2" width provides a useful platform for generating speed and carrying momentum through turns.
With 28 liters of volume, this board is aimed at surfers who want a performance-oriented shortboard with a compact outline. Proper sizing will depend on the surfer's weight, ability, fitness, and the type of waves being ridden.
Futures Tri/Quad Fin Setup
The Futures five-fin configuration allows The Solution to be ridden as either a thruster or quad. Set it up as a thruster when you want the familiar balance of drive, control, and pivot, or experiment with a quad configuration for a faster, freer feel down the line.
Fins are not included, allowing you to select a Futures-compatible setup that best matches your surfing style and preferred conditions.
