A one-board quiver. Depending on the water conditions or the riders moodthat day, the boards personality can adapt by changing the finconfiguration. Shaun’s new shape is the next progression of freerideshapes with a mellower overall feel, but with additional traction & stability.

In the last 6 years I have designed 10 different pro models in all thedifferent size ranges. This time has given me the ability to betterunderstand the hydrodynamics of a dude on a board. I spent the betterpart of the 2001 off-season working on my new ride.

I had more fun designing this series than any other because I was thinkingof the total overall feel. I wanted to have a board that released when Iwanted it to, and tracked like a mutha’. When we added the deeper outsidefins and got rid of the molded-in fins the board started to pop off thewake like I never felt. We also moved the fins in .8" further from therail for a quicker release off the wake. I can ride my edge as hard as Iwant to and when its time to bust it loose, well there’s no problem there.I can’t wait to see everyone else’s version of my board, it’s very flattering.

Thanks to my brothers neighbor Rob for coming up with the graphics.

The Belmont Features

• 2.6" Continuous Rocker - the signature Murray rocker has a consistently smooth transition every time.
• Full-Length Step Down Rail - the board sits slightly deeper in the water, and also has a little more grip throughout the rail.
• "V" Bottom Full-Length Tunnel - breaks up the water on landings and aids tracking.
• Two 1.1" Belmont Fiberglass Fins - these center fins provide the general grip for the board with a quicker release because of the shallow depth.
• Four .7" Deep x 8" Long Fins - two outer detachable fins on each end help the board edge stronger into and up the wake and stomp landings more consistently.
• Distinct Fin Placement - Shaun understands the importance of this, and spends countless hours riding various locations for the right balance of edge hold and release.
• Deeper Single Channel - the additional water flow increases the traction.
• Belmont Approval - at Hyperlite we let the riders be involved with every aspect of their product. Murray designs and demands proven products.
