Donald Takayama Surfboard – Scorpion 2 Xtrasoft
Donald Takayama Surfboard – Scorpion 2 Xtrasoft
The Takayama Scorpion 2 Xtrasoft combines the legendary, high-performance shape of shaper Donald Takayama with the comfort of a top-of-the-range softboard. Compared to the original Scorpion, this ‘2’ version features a wider tail and a slightly tapered nose, allowing you to ride a shorter board whilst retaining lightning-fast paddling speed. Thanks to its Softop Xtrasoft hybrid construction, it offers the responsiveness and glide of a laminated hardboard with the safety of a soft deck.
It’s the ideal high-end ‘Swiss Army knife’ board for maximising your time on the water with complete peace of mind, from a casual summer session to rougher conditions.

Key Features of the Takayama Scorpion 2 Xtrasoft
• The Legendary Shape, Finally Accessible: A true hybrid mini-noserider that lets you carve on the nose whilst maintaining ultra-responsive control and pivoting under the back foot.
• Softop Xtrasoft Technology (Surftech): The best of both worlds. The board’s core is stiff and dynamic like a traditional surfboard, but the deck is covered in soft, comfortable EVA foam (no wax required) to absorb shocks.
• Explosive Paddle and Natural Speed: Its very flat nose rocker and volume distribution under the chest provide ultra-fast flat-water glide. It catches even the laziest waves at impressive speed.
• Modular Configuration (4+1): Fitted with a central US Box and four side plugs, it can be ridden however you like: as a pure Single Fin for a fluid style, in a 2+1 (Single + stabilisers) for control, or as a Quad for maximum speed.
