Design Forum: Infinity Surfboards’ Roundtable Model

The “Roundtable” cuts a fairly flat, relatively wide figure, tailor made for a hurried approach across a summer wave’s face

Widely considered the father of modern surfboard design, Bob Simmons might recognize the outline of Infinity Surfboards’ mini-simmons-inspired Roundtable Model. Simmons, after all, was all about speed. And the Roundtable cuts a fairly flat, relatively wide figure, tailor made for a hurried approach across a wave’s face. Beyond that, however, the new Infinity model—with its modern rails and rocker, well-foiled nose and tail, high density stringer, and recycled EPS construction—is light years beyond anything that would have been ridden in Simmons’ era.

Here, Infinity’s Dave Boehne walks us through the fish-y, versatile Roundtable, a modern Simmons-inspired shape built, as Bob would have preferred, for speed.
