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 .

New Hemp Colour

We just added a new colour to the Hemp range. 

Its Black , "very black" and its a 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 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 black 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.

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 !

Old School Grip

Back in the 1980's deck grips and tail pads were dominated by companies like Astro Deck and the good old Rocket Block . 

Astro Deck had the red hot surf team and the grip was hard to get being from the USA but everyone wanted it on there surfboards .

Rocket Block designed this kicker which was attached with velcro , you could take it on or off . Most times a wave ended up ripping it off and as a grommet you were very upset losing your new surf hardware !

And then the velcro stuck to your surfboard would cut your knees to shred over the summer ! Them were the days !

Of course we are not using velcro to attach our new design . It's a High quality 3m adhesive .

Our new signature T BAR TAIL PAD is inspired from past experiences. 

The idea is pretty simple , most surfers like to feel connected to their surfboards and as close to the water line, the more you can engage your board .This T BAR design is like adding a tail pad without losing that connection.Having the kicker and arch bar ,adds something to push against which in some cases wax can let you down .

But by removing the side grip your toes and most of heel is will feel more connected to the surfboard and your wax job .

Its super light , quick and easy to apply (one piece).
With a superior design ,rear Tail Pad extra traction updated diamond grip pattern.
3m adhesive the best product on the market 
Good traction , lightweight, low profile.
Size of the new T BAR  is width 215mm ( 8 1/2 inches) , length 295 mm ( 11 1/2 inches).

We hope you like it , and we also have a full range of standard shape tail pads in stock , call or email for more details on the size and shape that would suit your  surfboard . Or check out the full range here .
