Gear 2017 – Brigade
When the Brigade Halfie-Pro showed up at the Alliance offices I was excited to give it a go. Generally I don’t ride twin fins but with the modern shape I was curious to see how it worked. The Halfie-Pro is a really fun board to slash as the tail releases very easily. This board surfs like an ocean surfboard where you need to stay on the gas to generate speed. It had decent pop for a twin fin but I believe if there was a third fin the drive and pop would be much greater. Overall this was a super fun board and ranks high on the performance/competition side. Extremely light and true feel under the feet being a hand shaped board.
