After many years of development and testing , Darryl Wilkes has come up with a new concept in board design. Part channels, part concave he calls them VCS - Vented Concave System or "Vents" for short.
The idea of Vents is basicly to provide extra speed by reducing the resistance of the surfboard through the use of twin concaves (Vents) which in effect flattens the rocker in that area and creates even more speed by the lift generated by the Vents. Finally a slightly "domed" bottom shape gives you plenty of rail to rail turning ability in order to make use of the speed generated by the Vents.
Vents are ideal for small to medium size waves and beachbreaks in particular, where you need to get more speed to make that quick takeoff or unmake-able section in front of you. They are especially suited to Wilkes' range of 3 inch thick "Pyg" boards as the combination of the Pyg's flotation and the vents speed, provides unrivalled paddling power, speed and loose turning ability.
