Black Resin

Harry is a really patient guy and we thank him for waiting a little longer than normal for his custom Nemo !

He wanted the blackest surfboard we could build . Black resin tints are possibly the hardest boards to build , if you strive for perfection !

This USC Nemo deadline got blown out the window ! But we think we delivered on this shooter...

On our social media feed , well known Shaper  Rodney Dahlberg at @dahlbergsurfboards commented on our Instagram feed 

Probably the hardest board in the World to make especially EPS/Epoxy! Don't leave in a hot car!!@formulaenergy

 

Very true, you definitely don't want to leave this board in a hot car for very long .

Although this board is a PU blank with Polyester resin it's still a valid point . The amount of thought and processes that goes into a black resin surfboard is incredible .

We are super stoked how it came out ! Black On Black !

Black USC Nemo custom dimensions, 5'8 by 19 1/2 by 2 1/2  28.43 litres for Harry 

Tweaked Twin

Another tweaked out twin added to the range . The feedback we got was just so good we could leave this one on the sideline any longer. Lot of guys love there twins but are hesitant to push them and by adding the a small rear fin feel it just adds that extra hold most twins lack .

Introducing the  TP1 or Two Plus one ..

You can see definite influences from the Alien outline and flat Nemo fish rocker , with an altered bottom shape,consisting of a subtle Single concave into Spiral V With Slight Double concave. All very subtle and forgiving designed as a genuine small wave alternative twin fin then add the a small third fin rear stabiliser for a little extra hold .

Different characteristics to your standard twin with this board, designed to be ridden with a small rear stabilizer , looks like a thruster setup if you want a little extra hold through your turns.

The TP1 or Two Plus One , has its DNA from our Alien and Nemo designs but take a closer look at the rocker , bottom shape and rail volumes and of course the important fin cluster set up and what you will see is a performance based twin fin .
From one to four foot , this could be the most fun you could have !

We have called it Black Fade Tail Dip and its available on the deck or the bottom !

Time To Test Drive

 

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 .

Litres: 34

Artwork is an "in-house" design , special Resin Tint called "Three Way Grey Light Blue Charcoal Resin Tint".

Looks epic framed in the parabolic carbon rails. 

This model is for good to excellent wave conditions. Will go in marginal conditions but designed to come alive and push your surfing when it turns on !

With the introduction of 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.

With instant speed (single to double concave bottom) from combining a far more accurately made board with the USC Technology .
