The Charger is tailored for good surf. The design holds the volume by a tad fuller outline and thickness but hides the added volume with a slightly thinner rail. The rockers are not to extreme giving the board good transitional flow thru turns. The added volume in the deck & thinner rails gives the surfer the feel of a thinner board while keeping the floatation. This make the design ideal for traveling, because you can take the wetsuit off, feel the responsiveness of the thinner rails, but catches waves w/ the thickness; the outline is verse able in any type to of surf from bigger facer wave to hollow barrels.
