Mic ordered a new Premium Hi Performance for his Indonesian sojourn, bound for Aloita Resort in the Mentawais. He wanted a good solid performance surfboard that would allow him to transition easy from everyday beachbreaks to reef breaks , give the confidence and of course be able to be versatile enough to use back home .

Rarely surfed as the name suggests you come off here and you gonna lose a little "bark"! Courtesy of a few razor sharp coral heads .

Looks and sounds like it did the job as Mic gave a us a bit of feedback and by the look of the images , he hooked straight in to some pumping surf in the Mentawais!
Mic Comments :
"In the Mentawais with my new 6 2 and loving it. Does what it says it would do, so stocked "!!!!

Indonesia's swell season, has started with a bang in 2016 and its been been pumping of late and every surfer wants a quality step up for Indo sojourn this year .
Bit more length and tad more foam , touch more rocker , lower rails are all the characteristics that went into these two surfboards made for our team rider Brent Savage .
The Surfboard on the left is a new model we going to test over in Indonesia, its a stringerless USC model. Wrapped in the parabolic carbon frame , it's a 6'1 , rounded pin , thruster set up .
On the right in the Premium construction ,standard central wooden stringer , again its made for really good waves , 5'11 based on the evergreen Savage model but tad more entry rocker , low rails and an altered bottom curve .
Again its still in R & D phase , and once Savy and the crew give them a good test run over in Indonesia and other locations. We will for sure tweak them based on feedback and once happy with the way they go add them to range .

Black surfboards do look super cool .
Making them is a little more time consuming but the wait is worth it.
We prefer to instead of just doing a black paint foam spray , add the pigment or tint to the resin and have the colour in the resin . That way you almost get a three dimensional (3D) depth in the colour , to give you the blackest of black .

And of course with a black surfboard you got to go the white Formula Energy decals !
