Get Fuzzed
One seriously black on black Fuzz Nutz for Sunny Boy ...
Sunny lives in Taiwan and added the Fuzz Nutz to his Formula Energy quiver .
Dimensions on the board are 6'0 by 19 7/8 by 2 1/2 , @ 32.72 litres. Black Deck ..
The Fuzz Nutz really suits beach breaks and waves where you want the surfboard to maintain speed over flatter sections.
You can really see the exaggerated hip on the this black on black planshape . The hip breaks the parallel outline and allows the board to pivot or turn ... And maintain speed and drive through the arc of your turns .
Its a fun , fast small wave board with hidden volume , you should ride as a quad fin , but will work on really small days as a twin as well .
Sunny post surf stoked , somewhere near home .. Follow him on Instagram he needs a few more followers . He only has close to million !
Out Of This World
Out of this world , USC Alien for Shaun who ordered a replacement for a Formula Energy surfboard that was over five years old !
Five years is long time , and the new updated Alien has a been tweaked and some design changes to improve the overall performance of the ultimate high performance fish .
Here is a brief explanation on the improvements
Improved Alien Breakdown .
- Improved Flat Fish Rocker
- Single To Double Concave bottom
- Flatter deck line with even foam distribution foil.
- Slighter wider tail pod.
- Symmetrical Swallow Tail
- Way more accurately made surfboard .
This Alien is 5'10 by 19 3/4 by 2 9/16 , 29.86 litres plain white deck !
No Smoking
The deck on this USC Predator model surfboard not just good looking lavender / purple colour, but is actually a hemp composite material inlayed into the deck designed to add durability and strength
There is No Smoking this one , the Hemp is blend of an organic hemp material and PET recycled plastic , we also have it available in MINT GREEN as well.
At the moment we are also testing a couple ofnew Hemp blends that is combined with "Tencel".Tencel or "lyocell" which is another sustainable fabric, regenerated from wood cellulose. It is similar to rayon and bamboo, both regenerated fabrics. Colours are light blue and black .
Tencel is one of the most environmentally friendly regenerated fabrics, for several reasons. Tencel fibers are grown sustainably , on farms not old growth forests.
If you are heavy on the decks of your boards or if your boards are not lasting then the alternate materials are the go .
Getting three seasons plus out the USC plus combination Hemp range is common. Some surfers have got surfboards that are five years old and still going strong !
The Hemp / Tencel will be available in a couple of new colours. Stay tuned we will give it a some heavy testing in extreme situations and let you know !
Mentawais Surf Tax
Our good mate Harry updated the quiver and headed over to the Mentawais in early August . Trying to get in before the all new Mentawai Surf Tax takes effect . Yes SURF TAX, you can read all about this new tax here at Surfline website. But basically every visiting surfer will pay from $76 US upwards to surf the Mentawais Region , depending on the length of your stay . Hit the link above or go to the Jakarta Post for the original breaking story .
Staying near playgrounds area at the Mentawai Surf Retreat ,he managed to score a variety of waves from fun little setups like Pit Stops
Where he rode his USC TP1 model, perfect for those smaller days in tropics.
Then when conditions turned on he headed round the corner to a much intense set up called Bank Vaults . Its a fast , shallow barreling wave with a heavy inside section .
This type of wave Harry jumped on his USC Hi Performance model . Locked and loaded and looking for some travel time !
Big Nemo
Big Boy Nemo ! With an altered Flower Of Life pattern . If you look closer you will see Grey Petals with Blue Triangles in the background . Its called Tweaked Blue Grey Flower Of Life
The Flower Of Life is a sacred geometrical pattern that can be linked to many ancient cultures and civilizations
It is a common symbol of many spiritual and religious teachings around the world. The Flower of Life has been found all over the world in many different religions. It is one of the oldest sacred symbols known to man. It is a geometrical shape that is made up of multiple overlapping circles of the same size .
There is a lot mystery surrounding this ancient pattern !
Dimensions on this USC Nemo are 6'4 by 19 3/4 by 2 9/16 , 33.43 litres
Simple Nemo
Custom USC Nemo made for Hayashi-San, dimensions are , 5'10 by 19 7/8 by 2 3/8 . 28.82 litres , on the way to Japan.
The simple Nemo has just got better. Some major design changes, call it a version 2 model , but we just called it evolution , its just how surfboard design progresses.
The bottom shape or "concaves" are now single into double .
The original Nemo was designed with a single concave ,good for generating speed but the downside it lacks versatility and doesn't like marginal /choppy conditions. And when you think about a high performance fish you are often surfing it in average waves.
The single concave upfront provides a good planing surface for drive and the double concave in the rear loosens up the board. The double concave will actually channel the water into two streams through the fins and out the tail.
The single to double concave is the bottom contour of choice for most modern shortboards. It utilizes the strengths of each design while muting their disadvantages. It reduces the tracking of a single concave while still allowing for a fast ride and a loose feel to the surfboard.
Also giving the advantage of altering between a thruster or quad and seeing what set up works best for you .
Lot Of Love
Lot of love went into this surfboard for Tomas its a USC Hi Performance model .
On the bottom is a Resin Tint design called , Three Way Grey Light Blue Charcoal Resin Tint .
Featuring,cleaner deck lines, improved rocker, more forgiving rails and overall a much better, way improved surfboard, all designed for easier rail to rail transitions, and noted quickness coming back out of turns, tail shape "Squash Tail".
The Squash Tail design is the most common tail shape you see on modern performance surfboards .
Talking tail shape can become a little confusing but here is a simple way of understanding some basic ideas.
Think of a more angular tail as creating more angular, square turns ,like a square tail. A rounder tail will create more elliptical, smoother turns, for example a rounded pin tail.
Take the Squash Tail, a square tail that has been rounded off !
Its Very responsive, the squash tail design provides all the surface and planing area of a round tail, contributing to speed and lift and helping to maintain speed in slower spots.
The rounded corners provide a bit more bite and control than the round tail, and the square end allows the board to release. The corners allow for more pivotal, abrupt turns off the bottom or on the face, but will provide less release off the top. This tail design relies on the thruster, tri-fin setup to maintain control. The squash is the most popular tail for a short-board.
Bat Tail
Jacob's custom Bright Blue USC Nemo . Custom Dimensions are 5'2 by 18 3/4 by 2 3/8 , 23.97 litress
And of course its got the unique Bat Tail set up ! Similar performance aspects to the swallow tail design , some surfers remark, it adds a little more stability with the extra centre point , but essentially it's a cosmetic point of difference. Really hard to make , but it does look super "cool" !
Keith's Quiver
Keith loved his USC Alien so much he ordered a couple of updates to the quiver.
Unfortunately Keith was little time pressed and could not wait for the Carbon rail version . Which can take up to four weeks .
So we got the original board number of his current USC Alien and we replicated in a Premium Alien model, bit more price friendly and quicker to make .
Dimensions are 5'10 by 19 3/4 by 2 5/8 30.96 litres
He also ordered a custom twin fin Premium Mid Flyer (right) 5'8 by 19 3/4 by 2 5/8 32.33 litres.
