Fun In The Sun

Mike has been having a lot fun is the sun over in Western Australia .

Mike has a cool little quiver of Formula Energy Surfboards. A 6'3 by 19 3/4 by 2 3/4 Premium Savage (33.57 litres). A USC Old Faithful , 6'1 by 20 by 2 3/4 (33.84 litres) and A Premium Fuzz Nutz which is 6'0 by 19 1/4 by 2 5/8 (35 litres).

We kept his boards around the 33 litres mark for the performance end and fine tuned the dimensions depending on the model and type of waves Mike would be chasing on that particular board . With the Fuzz Nutz being primarily designed for smaller less powerful waves we made it 35 litres , just to give it a little more float on those smaller days !

Time Out

Our main man Eden , who heads up all the logistics and customer queries, will be out of town from 23rd June till End of July. He is bound for the Banyaks and Mentawais to some dream waves in the northern part of the Indonesian archipelago ... (lucky for some).

 Time to get some tubes and test some new shooters for this guy !

The factory will still be open making boards, but all orders after 20th June you will be expecting delivery late July / Early August .

Eden's phone / email will still be working and he will do his best to answer all your queries and get back to you with updates from the factory about any boards in progress .

Sorry for the production times but quality sometimes takes a little time ... And Indonesia has been pumping and most of the workers are heading to Indo over the July period , so time to down tools and get shacked for the Formula Energy Crew !

Thinking about a new custom shooter in the near future, give us a call or email . Currently some of the performance models have been coming out 'The best ever" in performance and quality  ...

Here is few little waves of Eden on last trip in the Telos Islands..

Blue Swish Resin Tint

You can add artwork to your surfboard in many different ways . From traditional foam sprays , full board prints and of course Resin Tints or resin art .

Every surfer is different and customizing the artwork is an important part of ordering a custom surfboard. At Formula Energy one of our favourite parts of the day is doing Resin Tints. Adding the colour to the resin is not done on a whim , its like being a mad professor , measuring and mixing different colours , pigments and tints into the resin .

Blue Swish Resin Tint 

Sometimes you nail the application and colour scheme and sometimes you don't but its always done in good spirit and with a bit of creative flair . Every time you do a resin tint you are creating a functional piece of artwork that is as individual as you are  !

The above "Blue Swish" we love it ... 

Rounding It Off

Here is USC Savage model, which normally comes with a squash tail as ridden by Team rider Brent Savage. This particular custom we altered the tail shape from a squash tail to a rounded squash or a "thumb tail" . The request was because the surfer is going to Indonesia and wanted more hold and smoother type of release through his turns . The board also has slighter more tail rocker. 

The Savage by in large has plenty of tail rocker and deep concaves , this tail will enhance and make the board surf smoother in the pocket and hold in more powerful surf and really allow you to push the board in good waves .

So far thumbs up on the shooter, feedback is "best one ever" !

Savage Round Tail

USC Savage 5'11 by 18 7/8 by 2 3/8 , 26.50 litres. Custom made request with Flower Of Life artwork .  

The Savage model comes recommended with a squash tail shape. If you looking for a little more hold then we can customise to a round tail  or step it up to a rounded pin tail ..

The Rounded Pin Tail , will offer more "hold" in overhead surf ,especially good if you like drawing longer lines thru your turns or driving down the line in point break type barrels. As opposed to your squash tail , which is designed to give more release and pivot for shorter punchy type beach break conditions.

If you are expecting good waves or perhaps hitting the Indonesian archipelago and like barrels and down the line the waves you can't go wrong with the this model ! 

Bollywood

If don't feel like wating for custom order then you can "buy this right now" , we have one Nemo Bollywood in stock 

 Green N Gold Resin Tint bottom , Futures Five Fin ride as thruster or quad.

This Nemo Bollywood model was a custom order returned due to error with artwork on the bottom . Has name on bottom but never been ridden , its brand new . Need anymore information please contact us . Please note fins are not included.

Dimensions: 5'10 by 19 7/8 by 2 1/2

Litres: 30

Blue Purple Haze

Blue Purple and White Resin Tint combination , moving away from the "swirls" of most resin tints we did a more straight lines effect on this board.

With the resin tint designs each artwork is unique and customised , by choosing three different colours then with a special process of applying the colour with different techniques you can achieve all sorts of of "looks".

If you want a unique look to your surfboard resin work is the way to go . As every board comes out different by mixing different colours and altering the applications whether it be "swirls" or straight lines or combination of both . 

New Resin Art

New Resin Tint artwork, using a combination of black base with grey and white tints highlights to get the effect of a charcoal denim look. 

Below is close up of the  Black Denim , which is really hard to capture in an image on the computer screen but up close and "live" looks amazing with a real depth of colour. If you are  looking for something unique on your next surfboard then resin tint artwork is the way to go .

 Check out all our Resin work here , and some of the latest editions here 

Light Blue Hemp

 This new Light Blue hemp is the lightest material in the hemp range , adding it to the deck of your board in the USC range ,with the  parabolic carbon rail compliments the "flex" and spring enhancing the drive and speed of the board, keeping it looking good for longer and that all important new board feeling .

The "look" of the material is almost a subtle light blue denim once it is glassed .

The Hemp / Tencel combination is a winner for heavy footed surfers or people who tend to hammer their decks with massive footwells and depressions .
