This model is an evolution of our Zero Slot Hull Channel Model we did a limited release on earlier in the year.
Here's the quick back story on how that evolved:
We've been incorporating the Vax Trax Rail system into a lot of our board models, and the feedback has been super positive, but find it still definitely performs best in hollower waves or steep walls where maximum hold is required, particularly when paired up with a Channel system.
Unfortunately, we don't always get to surf those waves as often as we'd like, so we wanted to create a board that'd help our riders take their high performance bodyboarding into a bit more average waves! Not "spin to win" in junky waves as such, but to increase performance in 2-3 foot beachies with a bit of push.
The simplest way to balance this out, was to remove the channels completely, and go back to the Old school "Flat Bottom", but we thought we could do better.
We went pretty deep on the research looking at boats, planes and surfboard designs.
What we've ended up with a large single-hull concave which we've named the Zero Slot Hull Channel. This bottom contour is based on the theory of a "planing hull" which as the name suggests, gets you planing earlier and easier, giving exceptional down the line speed off the weakest of sections.
A lot of our inspiration came from the Bob Simmons designed Mini Simmons surfboards, which have since evolved and are evident in a lot of the modern day Daniel Thompson (Tomo Shapes) and Slater Designs surfboards.
So, we've incorporated all this into the Speed Dealer 4.0. Few key changed from the original samples:
Instead of the Clipped Crescent, we've upgrade to Chisel Tail
We've added Deck contours for a bit of extra comfort
It’s as fast as a surfboard! The board has completely changed my riding as I can now make it through barrels and around sections that I never would have been able to before.

My GO TO board when surfing wedges
Have been riding this board for a couple of years now here in some brazilian wedges.
The vax trax rails give enought hold when scooping under the lip, and the chisel tail is perfect fo pocket riding. I tryed this board in some down the line waves, but it felt too tied for spins and carves, so I manly use it on wedgy waves.
Would like to try the bat tail version, so I propably gonna buy one when it get back in stock.

Great Board
The Speed Dealer is a great board. Performs well in different conditions. Super fast down the line and holds the rail very well.
I've had a few outings on my new silencer board. Sometimes a head high dumpy close-out, sometimes a fast peeling waist-chest high. It's fast enough for the latter, and tough enough for heavy landings with the former. I've been bodyboarding for over 10 years, but still time is required to click with a new board. So i expect to have plenty of fun with each "click".
I reckon that if you're beyond entry level, and want to try a different template or size, but don't want to spend a fortune, then this affordable board is well worth a shot ... and who knows it could become your favourite!
Thanks Stealth, nice board, nice service, and tomorrow the forecast looks good for my local break :)
Estoy muy contento con este increible bugy, soy de las Islas Canarias y lo mas sorprendente es el poco peso, el manejo tanto en olas grandes como pequeñas es fantastico(si es verdad que funciona meor en olas pequeñas/medianas), ya sea por el Tourus Channel o el VAX TRAX RAILS, las bajadas muy pronunciadas las dominas muy bien y el control es excelente, por ahora es el mejor bugy de esta marca que he probado. Recomendado!
