The Irukaundji bridges the gap between the Halibut and Pro shape. The longer rail line allows for added control and less spin than the Halibut, grabbing the wave in a more carving arc, though not as drawn out as the Pro shape might offer. While the pin tail on the Pro shape acts almost as a fin, the thumb tail on the Irukaundji makes it better for spin tricks. Similarly, the rounded nose allows for smoother pivoting off the nose than the pointed nose found on the Pro shape.

With its unique lower entry rocker mixed with a longer planing surface, the Irukaundji was built for speed. It was originally designed for knee to waist high Florida, far plane outs, and playful waves, but can hold its own in bigger conditions as well.
