Creative: The Kadydid: This outline was made for surfers who want to feel the smooth speed of an egg... but what this creation incorporates is an increased rocker, and a very wide outline with a sleek single concave throughout. What I have found, is that the board carves and releases its power incredibly easily on sloping waves and can stay very tight in the pocket when the wave starts to suck up. I can't express how surprised I was when I first rode this board! It took off down the line and let me go so tight on the wave face when I didn't think I would be able to. Board Featured- 6'0"x 20 1/8"x 2 3/8", EPS foam core and Epoxy resin splatter pattern. The revamped model will be ridden even shorter, so order the model about 5-6 inches shorter than your typical shortboard. For a 185 lb, 6'1" guy, I would ride the board as a 5'9".
The Bulk: I needed a board to ride at a great local reef break that tended to fatten up mid way through the ride, and wanted to ride a smaller, more maneuverable board than a log. I decided to make a fattened Fish that would carve smooth rail turns when the wave had the juice, but that would carry me through the mushed section between the reef and the sand bar.... The board is much thicker than your ordinary fish and should be accounted for in length (but not too short). I developed the model with a relatively deep double concave and a vee out the deep swallow tail. Just the right amount of rocker mixed with all of its attributed make it a super fun board to take out on the sloping reef breaks. Board Featured- 5'10"x 21"x 2 7/8", Quad fin. Try to ride the board about 6 inches under your typical shortboard length.
The Fiesta Fish: These stubby fishes have been revolutionized by the "Lost R. Nose" revolution featured in the movie 5'5"x 19 1/4... Everyone loves them because they are fast and can turn in such a tight radius, while holding in super small to overhead conditions. Our take on this board features low rail profiles with soft forward bottom rails, leading to a sharp edge through the fin area... this benefits the performance by enabling the surfer to surf hard and fast with forgiving rails since there is minimal rocker. Flat bottom near the nose and chest area, with a single/double concave through the tail, releasing in a vee out the swallow tail. Board Featured- 5'10"x 20"x 2 3/8", Five fin set-up for Quad or Thruster options. "Fiesta" color arrangement. Try to ride this board 3-6 inches shorter than your typical shortboard length.
The Green Mess: This model got its name because of the horrible green spray that made this board a nightmare on the eyes... a sick pea soup vibrating vision that made your eye brows arc! BUT DAMN!!! This board is one of my favorite quads to take out on chest-to-over head windswell chop. The outline has its wide point about 2 inches infront of mid-point, with a smooth curve nose to tail which is a Rounded Pin. Low entry rocker, flat bottom under the chest, leading to a triple concave through the fins and an accelerated tail rocker. The board is extremely manueverable, fast and agile. The board stays tight and in control while floating sections and driving through soft spots and carving in the pocket. Board Featured- 5'11"x 19 1/4"x 2 3/8", BioFoam core and Epoxy resin, 5 fin boxes, regularly ridden as quad.
The Something Fishy: This was created with Fuzzy, our man on the front lines of the lifeguard force... meaning he needs a board that will ride in all conditions on Long Island, NY. The outline and foam foil takes features from typical fish designs and pulled in tail templates and foam distribution to provide a performance driven board that rides like a "fish" and a "shortboard". The model features a relatively flat entry rocker with a flat bottom, leading to a single concave and accelerated tail rocker. Board's Featured- 5'11"x 20 1/4"x 2 3/8", EPS foam core and Epoxy Resin. 5'10"x 20"x 2 1/4", Epoxy Splatter Resin Art.
The Catch of The Day: This board was a project board that turned out to be a fast and fun board for many different conditions. The board is a spin off of the popular model made famous by "stretch"... This is our version. The board features a flat mid section with gradual tail rocker and a slightly accelerated nose rocker. There is a double concave running through the quad fin cluster to aid carvability. This board can stay tight in the pocket, and release powerful hacks off the top, while cruising through flat sections on the wave. Board Featured- 6'1"x 19 5/8"x 2 1/2", EPS foam core and Epoxy resin, Parabolic stringer with added nose stringer for strength.
The Back-in-the-Day: This board was created for cruisin' down the line in long carves up and down the face. You will be able to trim past sections, float over lips and make smooth carves around the shoulders. The board was designed with a relatively flat bottom with a slight double concave to vee out the tail. The chined rail makes it extremely fast on steeper waves as well. Board featured- 5'11"x 20 1/2"x 2 5/8", BioFoam, glassed afterward with Hemp cloth and Epoxy Resin. Twinzer with center fin box to give different options for varying conditions.

Performance Short: Reef/ Point Break: The 6/4: This shortboard features soft rails from nose to the last section of the board (just before the fin cluster) to create a board that will want to carve on long period waves, and recover after vertical manuevers off the top. The model typically features a single concave starting under the front foot extending to through the fins with a slight vee out of the tail. Another variable in this creation is a unique "tail flip" that speeds up your carves and adds drive to your turns when power carving. Board featured- 6'3"x18 5/8"x 2 3/8", EPS foam core and Epoxy Resin, 5 fin boxes.... regularly ridden as quad for max speed and maneuverability. Call and create your own version of this model! Ask about fin options, stringer styles, and foam cores/ glassing options.
Beach Break: The Kick Back: This performance short board has a smooth curved outline, slightly obvious hip and a wider nose width. The rocker is mellow through out, and a slight "kicked" tail rocker... this is an accelerated tail rocker, and thinned out foam thickness to appear like a tail kick typical in skateboards. This design puts foam where it is needed, namely under the chest and between the feet. The outline and foil do the rest in creating a tight board for hollow beach break waves we so regularly see on the East Coast sand bars. The model is designed with single concave from front foot through the fins to tail. Board Featured- 6'2"x 18 1/4"x 2 1/4", EPS foam core and Epoxy Resin, Thruster fin set up.
On The Hunt: This model wants to get you deep in the tube, and doesn't require too much length to get you there. The board features a mellow rocker throughout, with slight kick out the tail; Single concave through the fins and somewhat downed rails to help hold the face and maintain speed. This board wont take you to the same places our other performance boards will, but it will get you shacked for sure. Ride this board about the same length as your shortboard, and about 1/4" wider. The outline makes for a stiffer board that will have you screaming past, and through sections. Board Featured- 6'2"x 18 5/8"x 2 3/8", 5 fin set up, Resin Collision bottom and resin stain deck. Resin pin line and straight polish.
The In-Deep- This is a quad that takes a piece of theory from a few different proven board models. A deep swallow Quad performance shortboard with single concave and a smooth to accelerated rocker. The model is a bit wider than your typical board and around the same thickness. The outline mixed with a few of these complementing attributes, creates a fast, tight radius type board that will keep you in the pocket on anything from waist to overhead.

Logs: The Heavy: A great log for those of us that want to spend their time cross stepping, trimming, drop-knee carving and nose riding. Rails 40/40... tail flip with a wide tail base...smooth hulled nose area and a flat/rolled bottom and veed tail. The forward rocker is almost completely flat that works so great with the rolled bottom, tail rocker and hulled nose area. It's my drug addiciton when it comes to riding smooth, small waves at high tide suck outs. Board Featured- 9'6"x 23"x 3 1/8", Clown resin art and 18 ounces of Glass on the deck. Single glassed-on hatchet.
The R.Pin Log: This board features a very mellow rocker, with most of that being in the rear quater of the board, giving what I believe to be a great combination for trimming and tip riding. The rails are soft throughout, with a slight downed-rail in the nose to maximize the time on the nose. Board Featured- 9'3"x 21 1/2"x 3", BioFoam core and epoxy resin.
