The compact dimensions, parallel outline and thin rails of the board make its shape a perfect match as a surf or as a foil board
Why we call it C.O.T.A.N.? It is the acronymous of Cut Off Tail And Nose!
C.O.T.A.N.
The C.O.T.A.N. shape will allow you to feel exceptionally free and fast in everything you do, whether you are hitting medium size waves or having fun with freestyle tricks, the compact shape of the C.O.T.A.N. is perfect to lead you through your freestyle strapless progression. Since last year the tail shape has been re-designed with swallow winger ends, allowing more aggressive turns when riding waves, or when pushing to get the maximum pop. Basically when we designed this board, the goal was to reduce drag and increase speed. Try it!
