The HOTDOG is so hot right now. This is the hot diggity dog of the single fin world. In other words, this thing is super fun for all types of waves. From small California beach breaks, to Indo reef passes the Hotdog will do it. Like it's namesake, this board is for hotdog single finning. This board has an extremely versatile rocker and outline and is just plain fun. Throw a nice 7.5 inch to 8 inch Tudor style Island fin on this retro diamond tail and it will fly. This board has a flatter entry rocker for easy paddling with a rounder outline that makes up for the shorter length of the board. We recommend ordering the HOTDOG with resin tints, opaque color, or even a sanded colored hot coat. This board should be ridden 6" shorter than a performance shortboard. It also has a flatter deck which makes the rails fuller for more buoyancy for a better performance in smaller, flatter waves.
