New DCD V2

Trying to build the best surfboard, inspiration comes from many areas and we have now on offer this tweaked option in the  DCD  Range .Its called this  DCD V2.

Below is the small wave Convert model , highlighting the high quality carbon, designed to mimic the Venturi effect ,but being on the deck as opposed to on the bottom of the  board , the idea is to enhance the "flex" pattern by using high quality carbon laid narrower at the nose and wider at the tail . Creating a V shape. Essentially "loading" the board up and the allowing the "V" shaped carbon design to release the pressure / torque through the tail as you accelerate out of turns. 

By maintaining the flex or "spring" you can hold your speed , which is supercritical on the these type of small wave surfboards.

The Venturi effect is related to water flow and when talking surfboards , often refers to bottom shapes, where the channels and other similar bottom shapes are involved.  By channeling the water flow then manipulating the way the water flows off the tail .

In Fact we have a new model being tested right now with these theories in place.

We call this this the DCD V2 look for the V2 logo, and it's available on all the models across the range . Need anymore information , hit us up for the right board to get under your feet !

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 !

Summer Shooter

Need a little motivation coming into summer or maybe you just need to update the quiver with a new Twin Fin or small wave board , like the super user friendly and fun Demon 

Short, small wave boards made right can actually be used in better waves as well . Just up the fin size on a thruster, or add a trailer to your favourite twin, that's why we think the two plus set up, is a great way to make that twin fin a touch more versatile.

"Or even stick with a good old thruster set up". Like on this "Squashed" down Savage prototype (coming soon). Just add a bigger template when you are surfing a wave with a bit of power for extra hold out of your turns.

Get Ya Flow On

Looking some inspiration in your surfing ? The East Coast of Australia somehow has exited rapid from Winter straight into summer like conditions.

Great weather but small waves.... Calls for a quiver update 

Well add this USC Alienator to the quiver and you will be surfing super fast and smooth in all types of conditions . Albeit a design based of the all time Alien , this model has slight modifications and refinements ,one major point is the rounded pin tail for extra hold through turns and and added smoothness in the lines you draw .

Premium Fuzz

We now have the Premium Fuzz Nutz order page up and running . This throwback  twin / quad is available in both the Carbon Rail Technology and the central wooden stringer version . Starting from $695 , then the USC Stringerless start from $895 .

There is lot going on with this model and once you throw it under your arm you really notice the finer points of the design . 

• Flat deck line
• Bevelled / Chimed rail
• Fin Cluster "Old School Twin" template..
• Extreme hip 

The bottom curve / rocker is relatively flat which gives the board a lot drive . Double concaves lead into a spiral V bottom . 

Essentially what it means is you can fit a lot of litres into a short board , without compromising the foils ,outlines and overall performance aspects (speed ,drive and maneuverability) , which often you see on really short fish surfboards. Quirky outlines and misplaced foam which hinders the boards flow more than helps it .

If you looking for a small wave fish surfboard that glides into waves with ease and open to drawing different lines, , then this could be the "go" !

Batman

The original Batman passed away the other day and the Boss of Los Skull is massive fan of Adam West . Hence the Tribute to Batman on his step up custom . We designed the artwork in -house , and its a full board decal or "print" ....

Dimensions are 5'10 by 19 1/4 by 2 5/16 , 26.50 litres in brief it's based of the Blend Model ,then Custom made into a mini step up board . 

Still being a relatively short board, with plenty of foam hidden thru the plan shape and especially under the chest that will allow this board to paddle really well into solid waves. Allowing the surfer to push it in solid waves but still surf tight in the pocket with  that short board feeling .

Step Down Prototype

The Surfboard Fish movement came out of left field but now is here to stay . With alternate craft not so alternate anymore . In fact depending where you surf the standard squash tail thruster can be rare to spot in the line-up

Even in solid waves , really good surfers can make an usual surfboard work which was thought as impossible nearly a decade ago.

One of the best known board building companies in the world , made a statement that although the alternate craft are great and brought a lot to surfing and shaping . And expanding everybody's quivers . 

Essentially all flat rocker board ie: "fishes" go "good" , the flatter rocker generates speed to burn , lots of speed feels good when gliding across a wave face .

The more rocker you add the more the board needs curve in the wave to work. It's how the rocker reacts when you turn or "break the line" , that truly is the art of surfboard design . Understanding that at a high performance level then transferring that knowledge to all types of surfboards whether it be fishes or hybrids is essential to develop a good surfboard .

With that mind set , the quest to build a "Step Down" with characteristic of a small wave performance board we came up with this !

This boards DNA is in the fact the Savage model , but we widened the plan shape , made the rocker flatter , kept a reasonable performance rails , introduced a swallow tail shape .

Its still in testing stage but its designed to be ridden very short , in small waves . We will let you know , if its a keeper...

Stay tuned , but it looks like a "keeper" !

The artwork we added to the tail , as a "tail patch" using a print , then framed the print in high quality carbon , the multi directional version , its the best carbon on the market , same stuff Nasa uses when sending there rocket ships into space ! Adding a bit of extra strength to the tail area of the board.

Get Muted

Custom 5'9 USC Mutant , with a crisp Inverted Flower Of Life artwork on the deck on the way to the USA . Dimensions are 5"9 by 20 by 2 11/16. 31.78 litres.
