Revenant

Ride your everyday-shortboard volume. The Revenant's outline and rocker are tuned for shortboard volumes — don't add 2–3L "for the twin" the way you would for a fish. If you ride a 30L thruster as your daily, ride a 30L Revenant.

For sizing across waves: pick your everyday volume for your home break, size up one liter (one length step) when the swell drops to waist-high, and size down one when it pushes past head-high. The featured 26–35L band covers most riders 140–200 lbs at the lengths their everyday board lives in.

`[BLAKE: ?]` — pending confirmation. Inventory shows one Revenant built as a quad on customer request, with a $20 fin-setup upcharge. The shape works as a quad, but stock is twin. If you want a quad, say so on the order and we'll cut it that way; if you want both options on one board, ask about a twin+stabilizer five-fin layout.

Clean waist-to-overhead with shape and push. Reef and point surf where the wave has a face you can drive against — Lowers, Trestles, Salt Creek when San-O lines up clean, mainland Mexico points like Saladita or La Ticla on a surf trip. Mentawais shoulders too, on the days you don't want a thruster.

It's not a knee-high grovel board — when the wave goes flat, a fish or a wider quad will paddle and plane sooner. It's not a hollow-reef step-up either — when the surf turns into double-overhead push, reach for a different shape.

Intermediate-to-advanced. A twin without a trailer fin rewards confident foot pressure and back-foot drive — the fin setup makes the board faster but asks more of the rider. Beginners and beginner-intermediates should look at the thruster-default shapes first; the trailer fin is doing more work than most beginners realize.

If you've been riding shortboards for a couple of years and you're ready to feel what a twin gives you on a clean reef day, the Revenant is the shape. If you're stepping off a fish and want something looser but more drivey, this is also the answer.

The Two Happy Twin is the closest competitor frame: a shortboard- derived twin tuned for clean shaped surf. Both shapes share the "performance twin first" intent — modern rocker, double-concave behind the fins, squash-or-similar tail.

Where the Revenant diverges: rail philosophy. The Revenant runs 60/40 pinched rails through the midsection that go hard through the last twelve inches — the design release line is biased toward back-foot drive. If you're a Two Happy Twin rider who wishes the board drove a little more and pivoted a little less off the back foot, the Revenant is the board to try.

Three published tiers:

- $750 — Clear resin / sanded finish. Functional finish, fastest turnaround. PU blank with polyester resin. - $900 — Resin tint both sides / sanded finish. Color in the lam, smooth-sanded. - $1,100 — Resin tint both sides / gloss + polish finish. Top tier — a gloss coat over the tinted lam, polished to show quality.

Add-ons stack on top: swallow tail (+$15), channels (+$30), airspray ($50–$80), double stringer ($15–$40), EPS blank with epoxy resin (+$175), white carbon fin box patches (+$35). The customizer surfaces the running total as you toggle options.

Built to order in San Clemente. Standard turnaround runs 4–6 weeks on a clear-sanded build, 6–8 weeks on gloss + polish, 8–10 weeks on tint-sanded — the tint adds time because the lam has to be color- locked before the next layer goes on. Timelines move with the queue; your order confirmation will pin the actual ship-week before your deposit clears.

A 25% deposit holds your slot. The balance is due on completion before the board ships. If you're driving into San Clemente to pick it up, schedule a window — Blake will hand it over himself.

The bottom contour reads from nose to tail in three zones: a single concave through the front two-thirds gives the lead foot a clean, loaded surface — that's what generates speed through the middle of the wave. Behind the fins, the bottom rolls into a Vee with channels through the last twelve inches.

The Vee rolls the board rail-to-rail at twin-fin speed without the hesitation a flat tail would have; the channels — two cuts running parallel through the Vee panel — split water cleanly at the exit so the board drives out of turns instead of stalling. Combined with the 60/40 pinched rails (hard through the last twelve inches), the release line is biased toward back-foot drive — a twin that drives where most twins pivot.

- [ ] Voice-review pass — does Q1–Q8 sound like Blake? - [ ] Q2 (quad option) — confirm or remove. The placeholder text references inventory evidence; if quad isn't actually offered, remove this Q entirely. - [ ] Q5 (CI comparison) — confirm CI Two Happy Twin is the right comparison frame, or pick a different competitor (Album Twinsman / Sharpeye Twin Disco are the next two anchors per the descriptions file). - [ ] Q7 (turnaround windows) — confirm 4–6 / 6–8 / 8–10 timing matches Jack's current queue. Update if the standard build window has shifted. - [ ] Q8 (contour-specific) — confirms the Vision read of the contour PNG: Vee-with-channels in tail + single concave forward + 60/40 pinched rails hard in tail. Verify the language matches Blake's own design intent.
