Sway
The Sway is our High Performance 2+1 go anywhere, do anything longboard. This board was developed with Morgan Cushing for traveling around doing east coast beach break ESA contests where the criteria is more performance oriented than it is about nose riding. We want it to be known that we didn’t just want to make an elongated shortboard, popsicle style longboard that you can find from other brands. Our boards are known for their ease of paddle, glide, speed, and maneuverability. So we went to work and at the end of the day, we have developed a new school contest style high performance longboard with the characteristics of what is to be expected from the Brother label. Built in glide, built in paddle power, surf off the back foot longboard that still nose rides. Its a real game changer for someone that just wants one board that kind of does everything in every condition.
Key Features: Smooth clean outline that has a moderately round nose and a moderately pulled in tail for the style of board. Everything was made to be clean with this board. Concave on the bottom at the nose that runs toward the mid section of the board. Double to V out the back with a hard blocked off edge in the tail for sharp cutting change of direction. The rocker is mellow for most HP style boards. This is what makes it feel like a Brother. It paddles well and has that glide element. It has Medium-low tail and Medium Nose, natural rocker not reverse like our other logs. This board loves a steeper beach break where it can hold in on steeper drops and be pushed hard off the tail.
Fin setup: This board comes standard as a Single + Side Bites. We offer it custom as a pure single as well as single + quad.
Pure single: go same inches or 1/2” more of fin as length of board. (Weight / Skill Depending)
Ex. 9’0 Sway pairs with a 9”-9.5” Fin
Single + Side bites: go 1/2” -1 1/2” smaller than length of board in inches. (Weight / Skill Depending)
Ex. 9’0 Sway pairs with a 7 1/2”- 8 1/2” center fin / 3 1/4” – 3 1/2” side fins.
(Weight / Skill Depending) means lighter weighted rider or more skilled rider go with the lower end of fin depth. Heavier weight or less skilled go on the upper end of fin depth.

Hows this compared to other models in same category?
The person that will love the Sway is someone that wants to surf hard off the tail, drive through turns while still having nose ride capability. Someone that is either use to riding traditional rocker style boards or someone that wants a fresh new feeling after coming off our reverse rocker nose riders. I would size this board shorter than our other longboard models just to maintain the performance aspect of what it was intended for. Whether you are doing the contest series or just wanting an all around rip-able longboard, the Sway will be a treat for you.
