The T.T. is the standout board in Axel's quiver and has proven itself on the podium at Stab in the Dark, finishing second with Mick Fanning and third with Taj Burrow and Kolohe Andino. While the pros have customized versions, the core design is rooted in Axel's 20 years of shaping expertise, offering performance without the demands of ultra-low volume boards.

This board originally got its name from “Tout Terrain“ being an all-terrain tool. It's ideal for surfers who want a high-performance shortboard but need a more forgiving ride in everyday conditions. With a flatter rocker and extra foam under the chest and nose, the T.T. makes paddling and wave catching easier. Its responsive rails and reduced tail rocker give it fast down-the-line speed, even in mushy, less powerful waves.

Named after “Tout Terrain” for its all-terrain capability, the T.T. is built for surfers chasing performance but who need a more forgiving ride in everyday conditions. Its responsive rails and reduced tail rocker generate fast down-the-line speed, even in mushy, less powerful surf, without sacrificing control. The T.T. has a fuller outline, adding surface area through the nose and hips for increased paddle power and forgiveness on landings, especially in airs. That added width makes it more forgiving with foot placement, opening up performance surfing to a wider range of abilities.

A flatter stringer rocker keeps it fast, while a subtle tail kick helps it pivot cleanly through turns. The full single concave paired with continued curve in the rail line means the board feels lively and engaged when it’s on rail, delivering drive and hold in critical sections.

The T.T. makes performance accessible, no need for perfect waves or razor-thin volumes. It’s fast, responsive, and forgiving—a rare combination.
