RAGING BULL

TAIL: Round
FINS: 5-fin / FCS II 
CONSTRUCTION: PU
Decal/stringer/fin box colours may vary

Wave type:
Raging Bull is a user-friendly, good wave board that allows you to both generate speed in everyday waves, but also harness and control all the power of solid conditions and powerful surfing. Decent beach breaks up to pumping points and reefs. 2 – 8ft plus.

Rocker:
Flatter entry rocker for easy paddling and speed off the mark, with slightly more curve in the exit rocker to balance flow with maneuverability and release.

Rail type:
Raging Bull has medium rails, providing a forgiving ride if conditions are less than ideal, but still allowing unlimited performance.

Concave:
Raging Bull features a single concave starting at the nose running into a double concave beginning in front of the fins.

Over the last year, Occy’s fallen back in love with surfing all over again. He’s in the water more, working on boards constantly with JS, and revisiting all of his old favourites to combine the best of the last decade with our next golden era… Right now.

The Raging Bull is an incredibly forgiving, versatile travel board that will be your go-to for better days at home and any time you’re lucky enough to be away chasing proper waves. It has all of the elements Occ wanted to make performance surfing easy. User-friendly, but with the ability to handle heavier conditions and powerful surfers. Compared with our other models built for quality surf, there’s a lot of differences here. A fuller nose with the wide point and extra thickness pushed forward combine with a flatter entry rocker to make it paddle fast and get into waves early, and then while surfing, generate and hold all of that extra speed.

A pulled-in tail gives you control for turns and barrels in more critical conditions, while a touch more curve in the exit rocker adds manoeuvrability and release out of the lip. Moderate single concave starts under front foot, moving to double just before the fins to provide lift and more intuitive rail-to-rail transitions. Then finally, there’s Occ’s favourite part – as he calls it, the “Raging Bull thickness”. Essentially, this refers to JS maintaining a strategically generous distribution of volume throughout the board that goes hand in hand with thicker stock dimensions. This is the key to more paddle power, gliding over flat sections, and to again quote Occ, “lets you leave it on rail forever.”

The Raging Bull makes your best surfing easy from home to hard core surf trips, and it’s an easy decision to make if you’re only going to have one go-to board with you. As we saw from Occy at Bells, that’s all it takes to make the fire burn brighter than ever. The Raging Bull is back.
