From T.Patterson:
The Alan Cleland File, a performance-driven model developed in collaboration with ISA World Champion Alan Cleland Jr. Inspired by Alan’s feedback on our IF15 model, this board takes all the speed and forgiveness of the IF15 and tailors it for surfers who demand precision and control in critical sections.
The original IF15 is built for flat-out speed on open faces and aerials with its flatter deck design, spreading volume out to the rails. With the Alan Cleland File, we’ve moved to a dome deck, concentrating the board’s thickness along the stringer and reducing rail volume. This refined shape allows for seamless rail-to-rail transitions, providing riders with sharper control and enhanced carving ability in steeper, more technical parts of the wave.
Ideal for surfers who want a responsive, nimble feel underfoot, the Alan Cleland File delivers power and versatility. With a sleek, narrower outline and thinner rails, this board thrives in the pocket, making tight turns and deep carves feel natural and precise. Retaining the IF15’s single concave and medium rocker, the Alan Cleland File strikes a balance between speed and maneuverability that’s versatile across a variety of conditions.
Offered in Polyurethane, EPS epoxy & stringerless EPS epoxy constructions, the Alan Cleland File is built to meet the demands of surfers who push their limits. Ride the board that’s been refined by one of the world’s top surfers and feel the difference in every wave.
"Note: This board features low rails, so it's recommended to order it 1/16 to 1/8 inch thicker than your usual board for optimal performance."
