Heavy Water Gimme 5 (High-Performance All-Rounder)
The Heavy Water Gimme 5 is the definition of versatility, blending the paddle power of a hybrid design with the radical maneuverability of a high-performance shortboard. Engineered for daily sessions where wave conditions fluctuate, this model acts as a reliable quiver-killer. It provides the necessary volume to breeze through weak or flat sections while remaining sharp and highly responsive when the pocket gets steep and critical.
Hydrodynamic Volume Distribution: Effortless Entry
The genius behind the Gimme 5 lies in how it seamlessly masks its generous volume. Extra foam is balanced directly under the chest to guarantee an ultra-fast paddle and early wave entry. This clean curve, refined under Ray Angosto’s technical guidance, features a foiled-down nose and sleek rails, avoiding the chunky or floaty sensation of traditional hybrid shapes to keep you deeply connected to the wave face.
Its bottom structure combines a subtle single concave transitioning into a deep double concave through the fins. This design accelerates water flow beneath your feet, generating instant speed out of nothing and maintaining drive through wide, open-face carves.
On-Water Versatility: The 5-Fin Setup Advantage
True to its name, the defining asset of the Gimme 5 is its specialized 5-fin configuration block. This mechanical freedom allows you to completely alter the board’s behavior to match the changing conditions of your local beach break.
- Thruster mode (3 Fins): Offers maximum control, predictable pivot points, and structural stability for vertical attacks and pocket surfing.
- Quad mode (4 Fins): Releases center drag to unlock blistering down-the-line speed, projection, and extra hold on fat or sectioning waves.
- Low entry rocker: Keeps the board flying across flat, mushy sections without requiring aggressive pumping.
If you are looking to buy a versatile shortboard that eliminates the guesswork from your daily sessions across small to overhead conditions, the Gimme 5 delivers the exact response, adaptation, and speed your surfing demands.
