Black Beauty

This Black Hemp beauty is an USC Alien with a little twist !

Dimensions are 5'10 by 19 3/4 by 2 3/8 . Custom with a Black Hemp deck and a slighter wider USC carbon rails infused with a blue composite . 

Its bullet proof surfboard , made to last but most important built to perform in a wide range of conditions !

Learn more about the Carbon in previous Blog posts , but it is slighter wider blue infused high quality carbon rail "tape" or parabolic rail. Designed primarily to enhance the performance of the surfboard , as the carbon has a superior memory flex to your traditional wooden stringer standard blank.

In simple language, it's looks good , goes unreal and will last a long time ! 

Searching For Strength

Looking for a surfboard that lasts longer , and will be a keeper in the quiver ? Check out our latest combination of organic material and high quality carbon .

Below is our latest combination of Black Hemp / Lyocell material on the deck combined with the USC Carbon rail , parabolic lay-up . 

The Carbon is a slightly wider version than normal which is infused with a blue tint , its extra width and combination with the Organic Hemp material makes this one of the strongest most durable high performance surfboards available .

Heavy footed surfers or guys who have had a bad run with snapping or creasing boards should definitely take a good look at this combinations of materials.

Of course all surfboards can snap or crease , we don't claim or guarantee to build the indestructible surfboard , that would be ludicrous but we can go off history and many of our customers have had Formula Energy board last in the quiver for an average of double your standard performance shortboard , many longer .

And that just adds to another green factor , less landfill as every surfboard we make , we make to be keepers !

The blue Carbon is not standard but is available on custom orders , need anymore info email or contact us here ...

Thats Gold

 If you want something unique then we can deliver . This is the ultimate "bling" surfboard 

This is a Golden Fuzz Nutz custom Gold Resin Tint !

The image on a computer screen does not do it justice ! In real life this surfboard looks amazing .

The whole process was really involving to get a true metallic gold finish mixing various gold pigments to the resin and adding glitter coat we were able to make this board shimmer like "gold" !

Resin Tints do take a little longer and require experienced laminators but the benefits are you get a true work of art !

 Wall-hanger quality that has to be surfed ! Lauded by others as you strut down the beach with a bit of surfboard bling under your arm !

Dimension are 5'7 by 19 3/4 by 2 3/8 , 28.33 litres.

Black Hemp

Black Hemp on this USC Alien Step-up. It very black and has unique stealth "look".

We laminated a natural hemp cloth into the deck of this USC Alien Step-Up.
Adding durability, performance and overall good looks .
Enhancing the parabolic carbon rails lively flex pattern and superior memory .

Dimensions are 6'4 by 20 1/4 by 2 3/4 , 36 litres custom order for Bruno . Who wanted  bigger board with plenty of foam.

Its Black , "very black" the 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 version 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 dark 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.

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 !

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 .
