The WAM is North's interpretation of the modern all-rounder and is the workhorse of their range. A board you can use in every day conditions, strapped or strapless, equally at home in 2-foot beach breaks as it is in over head reef breaks. The 2012 Wam features medium/low rails, a more pronounced single to double concave bottom and an optimized tri/quad fin configuration, allowing you to customize the Wam to your desired feel. Tri-fin mode offers more hold and drive, while quad-fin mode offers a more skatey and loose feel ideal for smaller surf. Building on the success of last year's WAM, the new refined foil and slightly curvier rocker tightens the turning radius and increases snap, while still maintaining enough drive and hold to keep things in control when the swell really starts to push.
