Playful, responsive, easily manipulated, a stick that brings joy to all who ride it. The Joystick, a modern take on a classic single-fin egg, is heaps of fun and very much a user-friendly design, but this is no leaden, lumbering mid-length – it’s lively, agile, and turns on a two-pence piece.

Shaper: Bill Atlee
Outline: Archetypal egg shape, slightly fuller through the front half than the rear – the pulled-in tail helps loosen it up for performance
Tail: Rounded pin
Rocker: Pretty curvy for a mid-length, which is what allows it to swing through turns almost like a shortboard

Fin System: FCS II for the side bites, with a standard single fin box in the middle (compatible with any single fin)
