The Deadly Flying Turtle can handle a wide range of conditions from sloppy small surf to clean pumping waves. It features the same bottom design as the V-12 except the tail and nose are both pulled in with more nose rocker to allow it to perform in heavier conditions. The Deadly Flying Turtle is suitable for surfers of all skill levels in waves ranging from ankle high to a few feet overhead. Get it 2-4 inches shorter than your standard shortboard.
