The Funnelator: A Fat, Fast Rental Board Waiting on Seattle’s Lakefront.
Urban Surf in Seattle offers the 5'10" Libtech Funnelator as part of a fleet that spans stable soft-tops for beginners to high-performance shapes for experienced riders; the Funnelator itself is a fat, high-volume board engineered to generate unexpected speed in soft, mushy surf while still allowing sharper turns when a set appears.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
Double‑V bottom for speed in mushy surf
The Funnelator’s double‑V bottom contour channels water off the tail to produce surprising speed in softer, slow-break conditions, giving the board a lively, acceleration-first feel.
High volume means more waves
A thick, high‑volume build is central to the Funnelator’s design: it increases paddle flotation and the likelihood of catching waves, especially helpful for riders seeking consistency in small surf.
Straight rails and a half‑moon tail for punchy turns
Despite its volume, the board’s straight rail lines help carry speed through softer sections, and a thin half‑moon tail permits more aggressive turns when a set allows.
