With one year under their belt, Daniel Watkins and his Player series have proven themselves as productive performers for years to come. By design, Player is a board with a subtle 3-stage rocker, but not too much to slow your board or momentum down. It does this with the help of cupped rails near the molded-in fins, giving you better edge hold to and through the wake. The Player is ridden by most without the center fin since there are four molded-in fins. But for extra stable riding, make sure the center fin is in.
