Product Description
Skim Agility with a More Settled Feel
The Ronix Blunt Nose Skimmer pairs a thin pintail's agility with the steadiness of a wider longboard-style nose.
Best For
- A steadier skim ride: The wide blunt nose adds stability while the thin pintail keeps the board's skim-style character.
- Dampened response: A Paulownia wood laminate wraps the lightweight surf core to absorb energy for a smoother feel.
- Grip without a locked-in feel: Outer Nub fins add a touch of hold while keeping the ride playful.
- Size choice: The 54-inch model is suggested for riders up to 200 lb; the 58-inch model carries a 170+ lb recommendation.
If you like the agility of a skimmer but want a calmer platform, the Blunt Nose brings those qualities together. Its wider nose supports starts and steadiness on smaller wakes without giving up the thin pintail shape.
Element Core construction combines a lightweight surf core with a Paulownia wood laminate exterior. Ronix uses that construction for a dampened ride that absorbs energy rather than amplifying it. The outer Nub fins complement the shape with a little extra grip for turns and trick setups.
