Lovemachine Plastron Design Overview
Introducing Plastron, the latest midlength from Lovemachine, designed for immediate, high-speed glide and more aggressive lines than the ever popular FM.
From Ryan: "A wholly new take on my midlength quiver - Plastron is a narrower outline than my classics, with a long and low rocker for all out speed. Considerably less nose area than the FM or Lizzy - Plastron is in and under the lip quicker, with less thought on the drop and a tighter or more aggressive line; Less tact, more ease.The broader surface area under the back foot, though, provides a ton of speed with minimal wave - So whether it’s cooking or blown, these things make the most of the conditions at hand.
If I had to sum up the benefits of this board underfoot, I’d define it as thoughtless, immediate speed. This design packs plenty of volume in the deck shape, but tapers to a thin foil in the, tail and rails. Beaky in the nose, with a broad and flat deck. This foil is made for speed, while the bottom shape is made to handle it. Flat panels flanking a single to deep double right under your back foot, this is a hyper useful bottom shape which provides ample planing speed and control.
