Lovemachine Surfboards Pedestrian Ship: PRE-ORDER

The 'Pedestrian Ship' is Ryan Lovelace's winning design for the 2024 STAB magazine Electric Acid Surfboard Test with Dave Rastovich. Ryan was thrilled to be invited to participate again, and when he found out Dave was this year’s surfer, he put on his thinking cap (though it might have malfunctioned a bit!) This board was the result, and to his surprise, Mr. Rasta chose it as the winner. 

This shape is a mix of thirds to Ryan:  1/3 things he's known, 1/3 things he thought Rasta would prefer, and 1/3 total experimentation. The outline is a balanced and sleek narrow swallowtail geared as a hybrid performance fish, based on some older curves of his, updated for this project.

It’s low, flowing rocker is designed to provide planing speed, but the complex bottom shape takes that into a different dimension, offering multiple rocker lines nose to tail: the rail rocker delivers a smooth, continuous line for power and flow in turns, while a distinct kink and release behind the fin, caused by the channel exit, adds some release and punch. Meanwhile, the center-line rocker is lower in the front for maintaining paddle speed, transitioning into an accelerating curve in the back for dynamic roll and looseness underfoot.

Flanking the channel is a wide, flat plane for a responsive, skating feel, while the narrow central vee under your back foot adds control. It’s a radical blend of opposing design philosophies, giving you speed, power, and versatility all in one board.
