The Purpose:
The NU WAVR is the new ‘Single Fin-Multi’ from Misfit Shapes. A modern take on a classic single fin with a quad setup making this board super versatile and dynamic. With a fuller nose and a classic pin tail you can draw smooth, flowing lines on this retrospective board model.
Note: This board comes with an acrylic spray with ivory white deck and midnight black tape up bottom and resin 'drill through' leash plug. Comes as a single + quad setup with choice of FCS II or Futures fins.
Rocker:
The board has a flat but continuous rocker from nose to tail, giving it paddle ease, but again having the vee break away slightly from the stringer line through the tail, allows for fluent and flowing turns
Rail:
The nose and tail of the board have subtle beaks to keep a little extra volume but the rails are medium/low, pulled down especially in the back third of the board to allow for hold and drive
Concave:
subtle rolled vee through the entry flowing into a slight double concave and again vee exiting through the tail. This more modern combination gives the board a graceful rail-to-rail feel perfect for flowing highline pumps and big driving bottom turns.
Best For:
The NU WAVER is everything you dream about in a retrospective board – speed, grace, glide, flow but ultimately it is a single fin with multiple fin options designed by a progressive ‘shortboard’ shaper, so the board loves to turn, it can be pushed hard, its sits an amazing line in the barrel and it suits anyone who is looking for a classic single fin feel.

Chico asking do need Futures box fillers while riding for single fin only mans? Chico liking a idea for quad plus single but mainly use for single only most of times so maybe the boxes creative some drags or change the ride to no good?
You can, but personally, I don't think it makes that much of a difference…I don't think the drag (if any) is substantial enough to make a noticable change in performance.
Which fins would need for certain conditions?
eg. Big surf / small surf / fat / hollow…
Cheers
Hi Samuel, We recommend a set of medium quads if you're 70 – 85 kg when surfing this board as a quad setup. Grab a set of small thrusters if you're going to surf it as a 2 + 1 and a nice flexy single fin if you're going to surf it as a single fin.
im about 5'10 135 pounds, how big should i ride this?
Hey Lachlan, I would recommend the stock 5'7 at 29.1 litres if your intermediate ability. If you're more on the advanced side of the scales you could go with the 5'6
