THE SPHERE IS A TONED DOWN VERSION OF THE PYRAMID. NOW, WAIT A SECOND, WHAT DO WE MEAN BY TONED DOWN? MAKE NO MISTAKE, THIS BOARD IS ACTUALLY MUCH FASTER AND MORE PUSHY THAN THE LATTER. WHERE THE PYRAMID LOVES HOLLOW BARRELS, THE SPHERE WILL EXCEL AND DESTROY ANY KIND OF WAVE YOU MAY ENCOUNTER AROUND THIS PLANET, THIS GLOBE, THIS SPHERE. AND NOT ONLY WILL IT DESTROY, IT WILL HOVER ABOVE SAID WAVE IN SLOW MOTION, AIRBORNE, UNTIL THE DAMAGE IS DONE, BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT IT’S MADE FOR, COLLECTING SPEED, AND RELEASING IT IN BREATHTAKING WAVERIDING MANEUVERS.

Shaper Keith Teboul on the new 2015 Sphere Thruster

With the new Sphere™ I was looking to enhance the ease of turning while at the same time not losing that boosting low end torque and its thrilling top end speed. I stuck to a v-bottom for early planing and a double concave to soften the ride at high speeds and then worked meticulously on the rail foiling, ending up having the rails faster from nose to tail to making the board feel distinctly crisp and responsive. I went for an outline that has some traditional qualities to it, appealing to a rider that is looking for a somewhat familiar feeling from single fin designs, yet I incorporated all the latest Quatro ® features into this shape, from foam flow, to where you are standing on the board in relation to the multi fin setup, to the tail rockers bringing a very modern concept to the board. 

The new Sphere™ is a superb transitional board from single to multi fin. It will really bring the benefits of the Thruster concept home for you with ease. Yet it allows you to push your limits time and again, offering tons of speed for flowing moves.
