CONSTRUCTION
SKELECORE Skelecore is our advanced core shaping technique that reduces overall core mass, allowing the fibers of the board to react quicker and more naturally.
COMPRESSION We use compression molding for its ability to produce thin boards that are rigid and durable. Skilled skim riders and beginners alike utilize their sharp rail for board control.

EPOXY Surfboard shapers have been using this construction method for ages. It produces the extremely light, buoyant, responsive board that surfers love to ride. This type of construction allows for nearly any shape you can think up. The possibilities are endless.
THERMO SHELL Thermo Shell construction offers the durability of a compression molded board and the freedom to shape like a high- performance epoxy surfer. It’s strong, light, and built to shred.
STYLE
TAIL SHAPE
SURF Surf styles use a multitude of rail shapes, board outlines, and fin setups to produce different riding styles and skill levels. There’s more than one way to ride a wave and we recommend trying them all. CRUISE For riders just looking to get on the water and hit that flow state, our cruiser boards are the perfect match. Cruisers will have a thicker profile and more rounded rail than a hybrid. HYBRID Hybrid surf designs generally have a thin profile, somewhat sharp rail, and a deeper surf style fin. The result is a fast acting, responsive board that can carve a mean line as well. SKIM Skim boards are designed to rely more on the rail and less on the fins for control. The loose, skate inspired aspects of a skim style make spins, ollies and shuvits much easier than thick boards with beefy fins. QUAD The need-for-speed fins setup. Two front fins are accompanied by two smaller rear fins. Both sets are flat foil, which allows for water to pass through the centerline without resistance while the curved outer surface creates lift and hold into the face of the wave. TRI Possibly the most common surf fin setup of all time. A large center fin provides superior tracking while the two flat foil side fins generate speed and hold in the face of the wave. TWIN With no center fin there’s less resistance through the middle of the board, which allows for more speed and makes it easy to break free on a slash while still being grippy enough to hold on the bottom turn. SKATE This fin setup has been used in our line since we started making surfers. This bolt-through style is reliable, easy to use and customizable. Use all three fins for a stable ride, remove the center fin for a twin fin feel, or pull the side fins for a skim style setup. SKIM For those that like to play it fast and loose, this setup releases super easy and makes tricks like spinning and ollies easy to initiate.
SQUARE Square tails are wide and offer a lot of surface area for a stable platform. They take a little more time to transition edges, making them perfect for beginners. ROUND The all-around performance shape. Water wraps around the curve of the tail increasing traction, and the larger surface area keeps the board high on the water for maneuverability. DIAMOND Similar surface area compared to round tails keeps this shape high and maneuverable. The angle created at the rear part of the rail releases water for a faster overall feel. FANG This shape allows for a longer rail in the tail of the board with less volume. In conjunction with the channels on the base of the board, water releases from these points for a fast and loose feel . FISH The two points of the fish tail act as two separate tails. Water flows along the rail to the furthest point back on the board for a stable ride. Removing the space between the tips keeps it maneuverable. SWALLOW Swallow tails increase the turning arcs in boards that have a wider tail shape. Width in the tail adds to push and stability and is balanced by the mobility in the swallow shape. WING A wing is technically a rail feature. This shape is a turning in of the rail, usually around the fin, that releases water at the dip as opposed to the tail, creating a looser feel.

SOFT Unlike other soft construction surfers we use a wood stringer with our foam core to maintain rigidity and response. A reinforced top and bottom sheet and a foam rail protects from dings, dents, and pretty much anything else you can throw at it.

TRACKING Boards with a lot of tracking are great at holding a straighter line. This can be adjusted to taste by changing the fin setup. CARVE The heel-to-toe carving up and down the wave. If you love making turns aim for a high carve ability rating. SPIN Skim style boards are designed to make spinning in front or on top of the wave smooth and simple. AIR Designed with aerial maneuvers in mind. The higher the rating, the easier it is to get those fins out. FINS
