James has designed countless boards for WQS surfers over the years, where surfing at the highest level in below average wave conditions is the aim of the game! This is where the Volume II originated. Over time, James ever so slightly modified the ‘Spawn’, the performance board preferred by our team at the time. He added volume throughout and slightly flattened the rocker and the bottom contour has a double concave through the fins…..the result; a trusted, fast, no frills all round shortboard that excels in 1-4 foot conditions. CONTOUR: A single concave starting 12 cm down from the nose and runs down to just above the side fins. It then has a slight double concave (allowing for the perfect amount of release) through the side fins then back to a single exit through the tail. ROCKER: A normal entry through to a flat/moderate exit allowing for maximum speed. The volume holds throughout the board with plenty under the chest for optimal paddle power if the conditions are weaker. A medium to slightly lower rail provides a forgiving ride, but with enough hold so you can trust it in more critical sections on the wave. We recommend riding the Volume II anywhere from 1 to 2 inches below your more performance-orientated shortboard
