AMPLIFIRE The Amplifire Model evolved e from Eric Arakawa’s popular K4 design that was modified for Joel Centeio. The tail rocker is slightly more relaxed than the K4 and the concave is amplified through the mid-section of the board. This increases forward lift for more front foot acceleration and speed. The position and shape of the concave creates better grip and drive through bottom turns with more speed heading into the lip and beyond. The Amplifire is a great high-performance shortboard for intermediate to advanced skilled surfers. Available Tail shapes: Squash, Thumb, Round Pin and Swallow.

BANDIT The Bandit breaks all the rules as to what type of waves a mini-board can be ridden in. Designed to be ridden 3-6” shorter than your everyday shortboard, the Bandit catches waves easily and grovels well in small mushy conditions. However, this design should not to be regarded as a groveler only, it is a high-performance shortboard in a mini-board disguise. It is fast and loose, it squirts through flat sections and powers through the pocket. Ride it as a 3-fin or 4-fin, the Bandit is a barrel of fun and plenty of fun in the barrel. Available Tail shapes: Squash, Bat Tail and Swallow.

SPRINGER The Springer is the next generation of Eric Arakawa’s Transformer model, but with a fuller outline and a slightly lower rocker than its predecessor. The most Hobbi significant change is the adoption of the Hobbit’s bottom contours, with a double concave forward which transitions to a single concave through the fins. This increases traction and drive under the front foot, and creates a “clean zone” of low interference high-speed water flow through the tail section. The Springer is super quick and has a “tail free” feeling on top turns. It’s a fun, versatile board in small waves and adapts well from a 3 fin to a 4 fin set up.
