Shaped in the first few months of the FM’s development, it sports a less pronounced triplane and a straight channel – the softened features make it a bit more forgiving and rippable for slower surf, and still just as confident and capable of on-rail-power as any variation since.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe FM isn’t a ‘channel bottom’ in the classical sense – the channel is there as a break for water flow, but it isn’t doing for the board what most designers are chasing in the deeper more exaggerated channel bottoms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis design sports a pretty hefty spiral vee in the back half of the board, and while that is amazing for rail transitions and feel, it creates suction between the board and wave; the channel breaks that water flow that is sucking onto the board, so you get the three-dimensional value of the spiral vee and its rolling sensation, but without the stickiness. You’ll notice the 7’2 has a straight channel as opposed to the curved one that most have become accustomed to in seeing the FM.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lovemachine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48945706139865,"sku":"5710","price":1195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0670\/8772\/8857\/files\/lovemachine-fm-green-lam_a8cbf05d-c232-4d3a-82e3-85d56ce2e085.jpg?v=1783973839","url":"https:\/\/theboardsource.com\/products\/fm-179","provider":"The Board Source","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
