Summer All Rounder

Looking for a short board that has the dna performance of a modern shortboard but the "fish" like qualities which makes surfing fun and easy !

Then the Blend ticks all those boxes ! Available in both constructions, the Premium Range and the USC Parabolic Carbon Rails model .

 This traditional short board has the outline of a modern performance style pointy nose surfboard , but with extra width in the nose and tail pods and flatter rocker. Medium to Low style rail volume . These forgiving attributes makes this the perfect addition to the quiver for guys that want a step down to grovel with but do not want to ride a fat fish !

What you have is instant speed with a surfboard that works from really bad waves but will handle in good surf as well .

Great travel board when heading to perhaps off-season destinations and looking at waves in the 2ft to 4ft range ..

More information and videos check it out here for the Premium model from $695 or

check out the USC Parabolic Carbon rail model here !

The artwork and more designs have a look here .

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.

Old School Grip

Back in the 1980's deck grips and tail pads were dominated by companies like Astro Deck and the good old Rocket Block . 

Astro Deck had the red hot surf team and the grip was hard to get being from the USA but everyone wanted it on there surfboards .

Rocket Block designed this kicker which was attached with velcro , you could take it on or off . Most times a wave ended up ripping it off and as a grommet you were very upset losing your new surf hardware !

And then the velcro stuck to your surfboard would cut your knees to shred over the summer ! Them were the days !

Of course we are not using velcro to attach our new design . It's a High quality 3m adhesive .

Our new signature T BAR TAIL PAD is inspired from past experiences. 

The idea is pretty simple , most surfers like to feel connected to their surfboards and as close to the water line, the more you can engage your board .This T BAR design is like adding a tail pad without losing that connection.Having the kicker and arch bar ,adds something to push against which in some cases wax can let you down .

But by removing the side grip your toes and most of heel is will feel more connected to the surfboard and your wax job .

Its super light , quick and easy to apply (one piece).
With a superior design ,rear Tail Pad extra traction updated diamond grip pattern.
3m adhesive the best product on the market 
Good traction , lightweight, low profile.
Size of the new T BAR  is width 215mm ( 8 1/2 inches) , length 295 mm ( 11 1/2 inches).

We hope you like it , and we also have a full range of standard shape tail pads in stock , call or email for more details on the size and shape that would suit your  surfboard . Or check out the full range here .

Savage Key Points

 

Eden In Indonesia surfboard THE SAVAGE

The Savage model was designed and influenced with some heavy input and testing by Brent "Savy" Savage and the team . 
Wanting a high performance short-board that would excel in really good surf but also have the ability to work well on beach breaks in semi to marginal conditions .
Check out the video to see the Savage model in action and learn a bit about the key design points which sets this performance model apart from the pack !

Flicker

Love the way these resin tints evolve . This one is the Green Flicker design . 

Formula Energy Alien SurfboardWe do our best to replicate the online image on the website . It's kind of impossible to copy it exactly, but our team of artists and laminators, get it very close to the image you see on your screen .

The process is amazingly complex . Trial and error don't cut it in the production of surfboards, you have to nail every stage with "perfection" . Especially when adding tints and pigments to fast curing resin !

It's definitely worth adding colour to your surfboard !
