A word from the maker: Why the "GT"? Not all -  even experienced paddlers like the concept of round bottom hulls as they have a rolling effect. But if you paddle them for a while you will love the 2nd stability. THE SIGNATURE 2.0 is without doubt the "SULTAN OF SPEED" and it is difficult to create a flat deck design that offers a solid stability and can keep up the speed potential of the "dug-out" low stance that enables to ride round rails, convex bottom contours with the smallest possible wetted surface of the SIGNATURE 2.0. But here we go - this is our "GT" and we call it "SENSATION OF SPEED" for a reason.  The "GT" is a total new design concept and I used multiple rocker lines in rails and central bottom for smooth entry and precise water flow. The straight outline and wide tailblock generate overall stability and less bouncing in hard strokes. Bottom contours are complex but not exaggerated featuring non splash entry design with a sharp nose fast moving into round and forgiving contours that run into a subtle monoconcave in the standing area running out into a nearly flat tail. Edges start soft and round into subtle chamfered rails that gradually ease out into a sharp edge.  You only get out what you put in and the "GT" design reflects a decade of cad surfboard designs, paddling 5-6 days a week and training quite often with some of the best paddlers like Peter Weidert, Hermann Husslein and Normen Weber. And don´t forget - Manuel Ramos, "Nelo" himself gave a final magic touch in the proto development.
