The Cutthroat Trout is Slater Trout's signature 12'6" racer. Named after the Cutthroat Trout fish, this board is Battle tested and approved by the man-child himself. This board shares most of the characteristics from the "Whiplash" only scaled down. This racer is a great choice for the medium to larger paddlers. Easy to paddle and ready to conquer the elements. Slater finished in the top 10 Battle of the Paddle (7th), multiple final appearances against the world's best in the Stand Up World Race Tour, Waikiki Quiksilver Waterman's Challenge, and a few 1st Places in the U.S. like Hano Hano in California and Lake Maxx in Indiana on this exact board.

Key Design Features:

•Needle style nose outline which forces the wide point in the outline just behind the riders stance. This enables a closer to the body stroke for max power output. The narrower nose also gives the board a very responsive out of the gate sprint.
•Straight outline with 11" tail block. The straighter outline allows the water to race down the board fast without curving around it. The wider tail block provides stability in chop, surfs easier of the tail and turning around buoys, catches bump and swell with ease.
•Shallow recessed cockpit for stability
•Turned down "dart" style nose. This nose cuts through flat water very quiet, while maintaining a lower profile above the water. Reducing drag in the wind and piercing characteristics while punching through waves and chop.
