ALPHA SQUAD SKIMMER
A GO-TO FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF SURFERS
Bridging the grom gap. Last year we welcomed a new series designed specifically for the Alpha Generation. A go-to for the next generation of surfers. A series for riders that have outgrown their kid’s surfer and are ready for a smaller size version of our best-selling adult shapes. The Alpha Squad Skimmer allows the teenage surfer to move into a size based off the adult Standard Core Skimmer. Made from our lightweight Standard Core construction, the Skimmer shape features a sharp rail and pin tail design great for kids who want to dial in their 360’s and airs. The Alpha Generation of shredders now has a home in the Alpha Squad by Ronix.

SKIMMER
A fast, responsive style of board where the rider’s position is centered with a more balanced body. These sharp rail, thin profiled boards react quicker for people that don’t have a lot of time to waste. Preferred by surfers that like to have more feel with their board itself – and not just on fins. They can break free easier for 360’s on the water or shuvits off it. A more forgiving style of board when riding behind a steep wake because you typically ride this style of board at a shorter length (making it less likely to dunk the nose). Because of how speedy these models are – you can get away with a shorter, lightweight length.
HYBRID
For riders that like a little bit of everything. They want to generate power through their bottom turns, but still be able to leave the waterline quickly and easily. A growing style of wakesurfing designed for bigger airs leaving the wake but can still lock in for a proper cutback.
SURF
Toss some buckets with some smooth, linked turns inspired by your favorite saltwater surfer. Traditional surf shapes have a thicker profile and a mellower rail/bevel allowing a rider to pivot a turn more from their back foot and are best ridden with either a deeper fin, or multiple fins. Riders usually apply more pressure on the back half of the board and generate more force through a turn. Still very capable of doing tricks on and off the water – just with a fluid like feel.
