This is the model that gets you psyched for small gutless waves ! Whilst your mates are umming and arghing in the car park on surfing or not , when the waves are looking pretty dire . You will be straight out there on the Convert , flowing over dead sections with speed to burn with this pointy nose model cleverly disguising plenty foam throughout the plan shape , low entry rocker with little tail kick and double flyer squash , means you will be "bleeding off" speed whilst other surfers are bogging and bouncing through flat sections, or 'hey' probably not even out there !

Pouring Into The Unknown

Surfboard Resin Tint Art are all hand created in-house at Formula Energy.

We do all our own artwork in-house and we love it . 

Next to shaping the board and see the foam morph into functional surfboard shape is pretty cool . However mixing pigments and tints into the resin is without doubt the most exciting part of the board building process. 

Something about creating colour by adding it to resin that never gets old  ..

Its essentially random and the process of getting desired colors and effects is actually the opposite to what most people think .. Its some what trial and error buts its cool ! Especially when you get it right !

Formula Energy Surfboard

 

Epic colour schemes evolve when mixing resin tints and pigments together. Sometimes what's on the screen comes out a little different but thats all part of the creative individual side of making surfboards by hand and with love !

We call this RESIN TINT MULBERRY and you can have it on the deck or bottom of your next surfboard or even both !

The above model is a USC TP1 ... 

Resin Art

Get ready for summer on this USC Fuzz Nuts. The back to the future fin set up , sets this model apart from the standard quad / five fin generic boards going round .

With this surfboard the intention was to design a genuine quad , how quads came to being . Not a thruster with two extra fin FCS plugs added !

The whole design compliments  the four fin cluster, and with the flat deck , you can ride it shorter than normal as the volume is cleverly disguised in the overall foil. Add the chimed rail , pulled in hip swallow tail . What you have is an extremely fast small wave board .

New Hemp Colour

We just added a new colour to the Hemp range. 

Its Black , "very black" and its a composite Hemp / Lyocell material designed to look good add durability to the deck of your board and add an improved flex pattern for performance surfing.

This new hemp is the lightest material in the hemp range , therefore by adding it to the deck of your board in the USC range , the parabolic carbon rail compliments the "flex" and spring without dampening the drive and speed of the board, keeping it lovely for longer and that all important new board feeling .

The look is a very black opaque deck colour but once the board hits the water , the material looks amazing , the fibers come alive with a silver / platinum three dimensional effect highlighted once the deck is submerged in water . 

The added layer of organic hemp material does make your board marginally heavier about 200 grams including the extra resin used to laminate it but the benefits of the hemp are outstanding , by using less traditional cloth but still getting a durable strong deck and long lasting surfboard .

And your get a genuine eco friendly material that will make your board last longer and wear better in the long run , while keeping that new board feeling .

 So what is Lyocell / Tencel  ?

Its made from the natural cellulose found in wood pulp. The fiber is economical in its use of energy and natural resources, and is fully biodegradable. Tencel is made from cellulose in wood pulp, which is harvested from tree-farmed trees.

Get Fuzzed

One seriously black on black Fuzz Nutz for Sunny Boy ...

USC Fuzz Nutz

 

Sunny lives in Taiwan and added the Fuzz Nutz to his Formula Energy quiver . 

Dimensions on the board are 6'0 by 19 7/8 by 2 1/2 , @ 32.72 litres. Black Deck ..

The Fuzz Nutz really suits beach breaks and waves where you want the surfboard to maintain speed over flatter sections.

You can really see the exaggerated hip on the this black on black planshape . The hip breaks the parallel outline and allows the board to pivot or turn ... And maintain speed and drive through the arc of your turns .

Its a fun , fast small wave board with hidden volume , you should ride as a quad fin , but will work on really small days as a twin as well .

Sunny post surf stoked , somewhere near home .. Follow him on Instagram  he needs a few more followers . He only has close to million !

New BV2 Model Is Out

Introducing the all the new BV2 model !

Designed for the surfer who wants to add a step down to the quiver .

This model just sit under a High Performance board like the SAVAGE in the range

Its for surf conditions whereby your high performance board just is not going to cut it but you don't want to ride a fish .

The BV2  is quite deceiving as it hides a wider outline , the extra foam adds stability as you transition from rail to rail and hold with the the round tail, for a smooth type of surfing .

Then combined with the rocker instant planing speed and flow through your turns . 

Bigger guys love this model ,it paddles well , with extra foam in all the right areas and without sacrificing any performance aspects.
