Driver 3.0 Squash, FCS II / 5' 10" 18 3/4" 2 3/8" 27.5L

The DRIVER 3.0 Squash is the culmination of the last three years of subtle, consistent fine tuning of the Driver 2.0, with our elite level team riders. Since the launch of the Driver 2.0, in 2019, our team has consistently pushed us to continue evolving, always striving to have an edge, competing against the world’s best surfers. The Driver 3.0 represents the methodical advancements and evolution of the Driver 2.0 to the point where it is no longer even the same model. Further refinement and adaptation from the SITD board, throughout 2022, cemented this design as something special. The Driver 3.0 Squash is essentially replicated directly from Griffin’s magic board from the El Salvador event. Simply stated, the Driver 3.0 features slightly more tail rocker and a deeper double to single concave, through the rear half, than its predecessor, the Driver 2.0. The deck line in the tail is scooped out, with lower, boxy rails, to follow the bottom curve and slice seamlessly into the water. More concave means more lift and more rail line rocker. More lift means more speed. More rail rocker, means more curve, for searing, tight radius turns. This forward volume adds glide and a more responsive drive, off the front foot. The DRIVER3.0 runs thicker, along the stringer line (for paddle power and drive) but has a higher angle “Vee” deck, which removes volume and ends in a moderate, but round and forgiving, rail. Overall, the dims and volumes are noticeably a bit more generous. Like everything else in this boards design evolution, it is a reaction to (and response from) our top tier athletes requests. Griffin is riding 5’11 x 28.50 liters. Yago 5’11 and 6’0 x 29.50 liters. Kolohe and Crosby are somewhere in between, riding similar lengths, but at 29L of volume. The Driver 3.0 Squash is the status quo of high level, Pro-formance surfing, today. Developed with direction, testing and feedback from the many of the best surfers in the USA and around the world, it has been proven on the worlds biggest stage, yet is designed with enough foam and built in speed to be a viable tool in any adept surfers quiver.
