Cyclone Winston 2016 produced one of the most incredible run of waves in South East Qld in recent memory. The SuperBank was the main focus but plenty of other spots lit up over the two week period .
Many media outlets reported it generated twenty million dollars into the local economy . With the hype and forecasting web world going into overdrive everyone downed tools and headed for South East Queensland. Crowd numbers were relentless but if you could jag a bomb , dodge the punters in the way and not get dropped in on, you probably go one of the most perfect waves of your life !

Our apologies goes out if your custom surfboard deadline blew out ! But with waves like this in our backyard, can you really blame us for "tools down" !

Simple plain USC Alien 5'10 by 19 3/4 by 2 7/16, 28.49 litres.
High Performance fish inspired surfboard , designed to paddle well with plenty of foam in the right areas but combined with modified performance based attributes of modern short board , that allows us to call this model a true all-rounder.
If you like gliding into waves with ease and having instant speed and drive but still a looseness about your surfboards and don't mind a little bit of old school then the Premium Low Flyer may be the small wave quiver addition you have been looking for !

A flat deck under foot then dramatically drops off at the rail line to an old school beveled rail or "step down" rail shape . The step down effect gives you the stability of a flatter deck line but less foam out on the rail, allowing easier transitions through turns.
You can bury that rail whilst maintaining speed .

We actually gave this model a fair bit of rocker but it paddles like a dream and doesn't push any water .
We recommend to ride it 3 to 6 inches shorter than your normal performance surfboard .
It fun and fast , looks and feels different .
With the V under the back foot we add FCS plugs , so we don't compromise the rear tail bottom shape. It gives you the option of adding a rear stabilizer which we recommend !
This model is also availble in the DCD range with the Carbon/ Kelvar fused deck

Custom USC Hi Performance model surfboard artwork is Green Flow Resin Tint art on the deck and plain white bottom with FCS 2 five fin set up.
Dimensions are 5'10 by 19 1/2 by 2 1/2 , 29 litres .
This custom has a slightly wider plan-shape than 'normal' on your standard performance model surfboard .With the shorter 5'10 length, adding width helps with speed and drive over flatter sections in the wave .
If you want to go a little shorter on your good wave performance surfboard , you can add a little more width and thickness and generally not detract from the performance aspects needed in better quality waves.

This is a USC Mutant with a smoking hot jet black bottom resin tint .
Black surfboards look really cool . With black artwork we have a couple of different options with the application , most popular is the traditional "foam spray" where the foam blank is painted or sprayed with paint .
Or a "resin tint" . Whereby in the glassing or laminating process pigment or tint is added to the resin, then the board is "glassed" as normal with the coloured resin .
A few changes in the process must be made , it just depends on what design and what parts of the board you want the coloured resin.It is a little bit more involving and requires a skilled experienced hand !
Although the process takes longer , its worth the wait !
