PROTOW
PERFORMANCE STEP-UP
Deposit : AUD $800.00
MODEL OVERVIEW
The step-up from the Metro, evolved from the tow series and billed as the most advanced surfboard on the market.
WAVE RANGE
2 - 12ft
BOTTOM CONTOUR
A ¼″ vee in the nose deflects chop. The deep concave sits at ⅜″ and graduates to a ½″ vee off the tail, with a sharp rail.
Extra thickness under the chest, a flat deck and chined rail, so it feels thinner under the arm but carries hidden volume. It often floats better than a conventional board 3 or 4 inches longer.
DESIGN
TAIL
Round Pin or SWAT
Surfers stepping up in size who want speed and carve with a rail that won't let go in critical bottom turns. It pairs with the Metro as a two-board quiver.
FIN SETUP
Thruster or Quad

This board was designed from the years of trial and error with tow boards, so you know they go well in serious waves. A deep concave and a sharp rail used to mean a board that only went fast in a straight line. The Protow carves at that speed. A 1/4" vee in the nose deflects chop and reduces wind lift, the concave runs at 3/8", and a 1/2" vee off the tail adds grip and releases at high speed.

The Protow is made for bigger waves, so we’d recommend going around 6 inches longer than your short board. Your height, weight, ability and local waves all matter, so get in touch with MC and we can help determine the right dimensions for you.
