Alien Shooter

USC Alien Step up 6'6 by 19 3/4 by 2 9/16th ( 34 litres ), custom for Tony ,heading for the "Coal Coast" in Southern NSW.

 The purple colour on the deck on this Alien Step Up surfboard is actually an organic hemp material thats combined with recycled plastic bottles . The plastics have been broken down into small pellets , it goes by the name Hemp/ PET material . 

Its a great alternate way to make a surfboard more durable, especially for heavy footed surfers who tend to crush / damage there decks, but it still retains those performance aspects of a modern surfboard.

Hemp is way more environmentally friendly than our traditional cotton .
For example you require about half the amount of water to produce hemp as you would if producing cotton. Hemp is a strong and reliable plant that grows very quickly. Not only that, hemp produces about 200% – 250% more fibre in the same amount of land compared to cotton.

Hemp Decks

Above is the  Hemp cloth inlay on the deck , providing durability from a cool looking sustainable material that replaces  another layer of traditional fibreglass cloth .

Hemp material is one of the strongest natural fibres on the earth .

Previously  its been associated with heavy brown coloured low performance type surfboards . Good idea but to sluggish to ride and look a tad ugly .

But by combining the hemp/pet material with modern laminating techniques  and using the performance based parabolic carbon rails of the USC range  , you get a cool looking surfboard that not only will look better long term , with a more durable deck, with less foot wells and indentations, depressions and its totally UV protected from the Sun !

Without compromising any performance characteristics of modern performance surfboard. 

This custom USC Alien is 6'2 by 20 by 2 9 /16 , 33 litres .

Grommet Special

Custom 5'4 for Will who stands around 4'2 and weighs in 30 kgs. Will has been killing it on the the DCD Demon model and at Six years old is progressing really quick ..

Check him out styling at the Pass in Byron Bay 

We based this custom of the Alien style fish plan-shape with your rounder nose and a lot of foam carried forward .

However Will wanted the look of a more traditional performance pointy nose surfboard .

 We created a new outline , rounded of the nose , softened all the pointy dangerous bits to keep Mum happy avoiding any injuries and designed the Surfboard to allow Will to progress and grow into the board able to catch waves with ease and confidence but still able to duckdive and paddle out with his other frothing super GROMMET mates 

And of course custom art work is the character Johnny Test ... The kids favourite cartoon at the moment !

ALTERED ALIEN

This a custom USC Alien bound for the USA . Fully customized for Blake. Its dimensions are 

6'3 by 20 1/8 by 2 3/4  ( litres 35.20 ).

Artwork is the Fibonacci Coral design on the deck . 

Blake mainly rides single fins and twins , so he requested the Alien be set up as a Two plus one ,as he plans to ride it as a twin.  

To get the best performance out of this board as a two plus one fin set up , the design had to be tweaked ,  we changed the rocker , overall a flatter rocker and also the bottom concave we added a pronounced V through the tail to allow the easily transitions from rail to rail . 

You can see  the tail shape is not your traditional swallow but a moon tail , with a jet black bottom 

We would recommend these fins to ride with this set up . They are available at the online store
