Grand Tourer (GT) | Scotty James Surfboards
The GT is a mid length design for those that want a board that's loose for its size and paddles like a beast. It is designed to be ridden in small and large waves, but best suits 2 - 4 foot range with a slopey face.
You will have plenty of glide but it's loose enough that you can still turn in less than powerful waves. General rule of thumb in Scotty's mid length range, the GT is the grovler for smaller softer surf. This is the board for you if you live or mainly surf soft slow waves.
The top side:
Featuring a very flat deck with beveled down rails that run into a mid boxy rail.
This gives plenty of paddle power from the flat deck holding a lot of foam, then the beveled rail lowers the deck line down to a nice performance-style boxy rail. The rail starts soft in the nose and flows to a hard and sharp edge through the tail.
The outline has the wide point two inches forward of centre, that's foam under the chest for paddle power. The Grand Tourer's wings, set just behind the fins, pull the tail in giving it the quick response from rail to rail and the ability to hold in a steep section.
The bottom side:
There's a little more rocker in the GT than the Twin Pin, mainly in the nose. This gives the GT great turning abilities in smaller waves for its size. The bottom shape is a a spiral-vee double-concave set in a single concave or Scotty calls it a "scoop" concave and is where this board gets its speed. The vee helps it roll over onto its rail, and the spiral vee expels the water diagonally out the tail because we don't usually surf in a straight line. In front of the scoop it has a very slight panel vee.
All of these attributes give the GT a free flowing feel that always seems to have the speed you need to go wherever you want on the wave with little effort.
