Ampal Creative has always loved Pelicans - they have an ugly grace as they effortlessly ride updrafts along unbreaking swell for miles. As they started riding 11'+ gliders, boards designed for ultimate trim, and connecting unbreaking sections of waves, it was the closest one could come to experience gliding like a pelican. Pelicans are also good signs for fishermen. Diving birds mean there is bait in the water and probably fish as well. Any seafaring enthusiast has to at least respect them.
The lightweight cotton ripstop unstructured upper is perfect of a day on the streams. The waxed canvas underbrim was chosen to as a dull neutral to blend in with mountain/stream background, allowing all focus to be pointed toward the water and has an ultra dull finish to not reflect any light.
