Model overview
Step up your everyday game. The F1Driver is the perfect evolution of the classic high-performance shortboard, redesigned for surfers seeking maximum response without sacrificing comfort in everyday conditions. By widening the outline slightly and keeping a touch more volume through the foil, it delivers faster paddle power, excellent drive through flatter sections, and fluid rail-to-rail transitions. It is the ideal balance between competitive sensitivity and the forgiveness needed to fly through weaker pockets.
Like every Watta, it is shaped by hand and built to you. The size run below is a starting point, not a limit. Luis will tune the outline, the foil, and the volume based on your weight and the waves you surf, so the board suits you rather than the other way around.
Skill level, intermediate to advanced
A highly versatile performance board for surfers who want speed, control in the pocket, and predictable response, but value a more forgiving ride that tolerates minor positioning errors. The rider weights in the chart show the advanced and intermediate range for each size, so you can read straight off it.
