“THE UNDERGROUND LIVES”

SINGULARITY

FUTURES TWIN + TRAILER /SWALLOW TAIL FUTURES QUAD / DIAMOND TAIL 2+1 FCS / PIN TAIL

NEW

A nod to the Physicists, the Singularity model derives its name from the hypothetical attributes abscribed to the center of a black hole.

Infinite in its matter and potential

the SInfularity is a surfboard beyond the conception of mortal man’s understanding of the universe. Many have hypothesized what lies inside the core of her design, but none know for sure, except for its creator Wayne Rich who to this day refuses to say more than, “The design came to me as a child and through an evolution of experiences molded into the form you see before you today.” Waynes remarks aside; Einstein may have come closest to describing the essence of the Singularity in plain terms when he defined the Singularity as infinite to the point of nothingness. At this point, it seems the Singularity can only be understood by experiencing its ride. Unfortunately, all reports from riders recount a complete loss of objective reality followed by a transcendence through time and space to a place where perception is less about seeing the outside world and more about connecting in total oneness with the world as a whole. To date, interpreting these rider reviews has only led to more questions than answers. However, preliminary metrics gathered by scientists and recently uncovered photographs suggest that Singularity riders did seem to spend more time in the barrel and traverse across the wave at shockingly high speed while maintaining abnormally low heart rate levels. Extended observations of those who rode the Singularity in good waves

Suggested fins: 5.25”-5.75” twin fins + 2.5” trailer

THE CHECKMATE

NEW

SINGLE FIN/ DIAMOND TAIL

Game over; this board wins! The Checkmate is a takeno-prisoners, no holds barred, capture-your-king kind of longboard, so get ready to surf at the top of your abilities. Designed by Wayne Rich to be quick off the bottom, nimble rail to rail, and powerful off the tail, the Checkmate is every bit a performance longboard. Fast wrapping turning in the pocket and hard down-the-line bottom turns are standard maneuvers for this modern gal. At the same time, a soulful outline meets a timeless bottom contour that rolls into a classic 60/40 longboard rail, resulting in a board that noserides, trims, and glides as lovely as any traditional log on the market. While we can’t divulge all the Checkmate’s secrets, we can share that a hard edge is snuck into the board’s tail to deliver a controlled drive when cranking tight turns and a lite concave in the nose blends through the front third of the board allowing for lift and acceleration when hangin’ the piggies. We suggest the Checkmate for all surfers looking to expand their repertoire of maneuvers on a longboard. Originally designed for the Santa Barbara points, the Checkmate works best in long, drawnout walls head high and below but can be ridden up to a few feet overhead and at your local reef or beach break. If you are an old-at-heart-dog looking to learn a few new tricks, the Checkmate is for you.

Natural Fiber Technology is not only made with natural composite reinforcements but its got an amazingly natural feel. Half of the reinforcement by volume on these boards is made from naturally

replaces a good chunk of what would otherwise be fiberglass but also improves dampening for a predictable, natural response. There is an elegance to the simple aesthetic to the layup that is matched only by its ride.

Shaper Profile.

What a time, then we traveled up to Hollywood by the sea in Oxnard for some real juice and it was wild up there, localism and its fullest and we respected them and they allowed us to ride a few waves sometimes; it was where I ended up eventually but yeah, quite a quite an experience. Let me add a few names to that last list. Steve Slickenmeyer Chrissy Slickenmeyer, Wayne Miata, and Drew Harrison. I mean, tell you what, there was so much talent around there back then. That old 22nd Street thing all captured on film by Leroy Grannis when he wasn’t surfing was unbelievable.

WAYNE RICH

Can you remember the best wave you’ve ever ridden? Okay favorite wave or something ridden, I don’t know, I’m not much to talk about that stuff, but – where would it be? Beach break, point break, reef break... I can’t pick very easily there have been so many. I mean Hollywood by the Sea as big as the beach will handle, a left

That was back in the 90s, but there have been a lot of others that are different. That one comes to mind first. That was one of the highlights of my

State your name, occupation and the first thing you thought about this morning. Wayne Rich surfer, shaper, designer, fabricator, craftsman and I don’t know, artisan, mostly though, perpetual student. I think that’s mostly what I am. First thing I thought of this morning was visualizing dropping into a steep critical section of a wave. I always like to think about how the water flows over the rail on the inside rail, especially the way it holds us in control. And we can kind of play with it and feel that feeling of that water holding us. The tension of that water holding us up the face of the wave and releasing down and how we can transition it to the speed off the back of the board, the way water flows across the rail and the bottom of the board releasing behind us and allowing speed and freedom of movement, that kind of stuff just still fascinates me all the time. Tell us about your early surfing days. Early days of surfing Wow. I guess that would have to go back to my mother. Roberta. She was an early water woman and put me under my very first wave at three years old. She taught me not to be afraid. She got us all writing little air mattresses and little paipo belly boards and things. My friends Mike Pace, Bruce Tuttle and I used to try to stand up on those things; we’d try to surf those little things. We’d surf those mats, we would air them up real full and blow them up at the gas station trying to air them up so we could stand up on them. And then as things went on, by the time we were eight or nine we started riding regular surfboards, and they were big, heavy things. It was a man’s sport at the time. It was tough. It was just a tough time. Boards were crazy. But Redondo Breakwater all the way to Hermosa Pier was my main area, growing up with all my friends. Along with Mike Pace and Bob Binky, Mike ran the Bing shop later on and Ben Dixon, we used to surf 10th street a lot. They called it the dime back then. Going up into 22nd Street during those early days. It was neat to go up there as a kid and watch all those guys, Dewey, David Nuuhiwa, Donald Takayama, Leroy Grannis, Skipper Fouts Harwood, Henry Ford, Ricky hatch, Darrell Dickey, John Baker, Alfred laws, I mean Bing Copeland all of them were up there. It was quite a time you could actually drink on the beach back then so it was pretty wild, so to be influenced by all of them, Danny, Bendickson, and Phil Becker. And you know, they were all up there. It was it was quite a time. And Henry Ford claims it was where hot dog surfing was invented, 22nd Street Hermosa. That’s his claim. I’d say he’s pretty accurate. It was a neat thing to be around Dennis. As we got into the 70s it was, you know, more of the breakwater and Southside of Hermosa Peir for me Mike Pace ripping it up with Bobby Ricola at the Break Water. There were a lot of great local guys.

life. With that crew of guys. just heavy people. Heavy respect. Heavy power. And I’ve almost lost my life twice on that beach. So, I guess that one would rate pretty high. Okay favorite wave or something ridden, I don’t know I’m not much to talk about that stuff but, where would it be? Beach break, point break, reef break... I can’t pick very easily there have been so many. I mean Hollywood by the Sea as big as the beach will handle, a left morphed out from the middle of the beach with all the power shifting off the canyon.

That one comes to mind first. That was one of the highlights of my life. With that crew of guys. Just heavy people. Heavy respect. Heavy power. And I’ve almost lost my life twice on that beach. So I guess that one would rate pretty high. Can you expand upon the importance of Oxnard in your life? My best friend Mike Pace dragged me out or Hermoza because I was on a bad path with the drugs and alcohol. He got me up there and then I got a bunch of trouble up this way and got locked up several times and was looking at a lot of problems and figured it out by the help of a lot of friends the grace of God and the 12 step program and stuff like that as mandated for all that stuff. The raw power of Hollywood by the Sea was a great place to immerse you know, the humility of what I was going through and just paddling out there will humble you. And so it’s very much like life and so that beach to me because of the locals there they they were good enough to take me in and allow me to be a part of something really special at the end of the true localism there and it was really a special place from all standpoints. It’s got so much power, it’s got just such a heavy feeling in the water and the vibe and there’s so much sea life around there too, makes it really interesting and it just an ominous power in all ways, so it it helped guide my life and the people down there really helped me understand what was important about life.

Who are your biggest influences? Let’s see who influenced me and helped me along the way with shaping. Well, my biggest mentor would be Dan Bendixen.

So he was my biggest mentor and guiding light as far as everything besides shaping in life too, but Mike Geib, Redman, Bob Manville was his real name. Redman was was really creative guy..

WILDCARD 3

NEW

SINGLE FIN/MOON TAIL

Turn a losing hand into a winning had with the Wildcard. The Special Projects Division Wildcard 3 is an updated version of Waynes Rich’s classic shape. Still a great noserider and proficient turner, the board maintains many of the attributes that helped Wayne win three Malibu Club contests, including a full template with wide nose and wide crescent tail. The crescent tail, initially requested by Joel Tudor, allows water to flow over and out the center of the board’s tail, pushing the tail down and creating lift in the board’s nose. Slight updates to the boards nose concave also assist in noseriding. A rolled bottom in the back third of the board increases control and turn initiation. If you are looking for a longboard to make you surf, more, and better the Wildcard 3 is for you. Like a Wildcard it can turn a losing hand, or small piddly, waves into something special, but dont take our word for it, try a Wildcard 3 Special Projects Division for your self and see the instant effects it has on your surfing enjoyment.

Mickey Munoz has been shaping and designing boards for nearly half a century. The Munoz name is well respected in the global surfing community and his positive attitude, from his very first wave to this day, makes him the consummate ambassador of surfing’s true stoke.

“SURFING IS NOT ABOUT

WHAT KIND OF BOARD YOU RIDE, WHAT KIND OF WAVE YOU RIDE, OR HOW GOOD YOU RIDE; IT’S ABOUT “STATE OF MIND”. IT IS ABOUT INCREMENTS OF SMILE, IT’S ABOUT PASSION!” -Mickey Munoz

GLIDE

NEW

2+1 FIN SETUP/ SQUARE TAIL

Designed by the Mickey Munoz himself, the Glide longboard is designed to be stable, fast, and maneuverable. Foiled rails give the feel of a thinner board, the subtle concave nose helps accomplish smoother nose rides, and an advanced forward vee makes it easier to turn. It performs great in a wide variety of conditions and can accommodate any level rider.

Natural Fiber Technology is not only made with natural composite reinforcements but its got an amazingly natural feel. Half of the reinforcement by volume on these boards is made from naturally derived fibers. The other half is composed of E glass and the whole lot is layered up and vacuum bagged under pressure to maximize the bond and minimize any excess resin, allowing for an incredible strength to weight ratio. The natural fiber not only replaces a good chunk of what would otherwise be fiberglass but also improves dampening for a predictable, natural response. There is an elegance to the simple aesthetic to the layup that is matched only by its ride. FUSED CELL EPS CORE (DUAL-CORE W/PU RAILS)

Misfit Shapes represents an authentic response to an era of change, a ‘surf’ stemmed movement that allows art, design and individuality to co-exist within a realm more commonly dominated by conformity and observation. We are not bound by a single leader or manifesto, but rather a bold commitment to pushing the limits of this well-oiled machinery of surf. The result is a rare collective of mildly deranged but high-powered misfits, potentially dangerous cultural agitators, and just about every other kind of MAD MIND.

“A RARE COLLECTIVE OF MILDLY DERANGED BUT HIGH-POWERED MISFITS” If this is all a bit too real, that’s fine, we can’t please everyone because if we did, we’d end up catching something. But if you are looking to escape the rotating door of normality, please, come inside.

BEACH METAL

NEW

TWIN FIN/ SWALLOW TAIL

Unrivalled, unprecedented, pure fun; The ‘BEACH METALL’ reflects MISFIT’S continued desire to advance performance ‘twin fins’, with this model being the most contemporary, and damn lively one to date. They’ve straightened the rail line from mid point to flyer providing even more drive. The flyer, or wing then breaks the rail line for release and turn-ability. The rails and overall foil is refined from nose to tail to let the water flow over board with minimal restriction, also giving the board incredible hold and control. It has a medium nose lift, but is quite flat out the tail, encouraging masses of planning speed. Slight singles through entry for paddle, blended into doubles under your feet for controlled lift, then mucho vee out the tail, so this baby sings rail-to-rail and off the toppers, while maintaining giant highline pumpo ability like our other more “traditional” twin fin models. It is a pure, unadulterated redux of classic flyer swallow twinny based around a more up-right style fin design. No trailing fin required here mam.

DOPE MACHINE 5-FIN OPTION/ DIAMOND TAIL

Unrivalled, unprecedented, pure fun; the ‘DOPE MACHINE’ is the first of our collaboration series with long time ‘MAD MINDS’ Advocate George Henderson of ‘A DEAD COFFIN CLUB’. Fundamentally, it is a combination of a classic high wide point fun-board, almost reminiscent of a 70’s single fin spawned with a modern proggy fish or hybrid.The signature diamond tail gives the board a shorter rail line, so the water breaks earlier which creates an early pivot point for a wildly responsive, tighter turning board that also allows for positioning in more critical parts of a wave. The rail volume is reduced slightly, rocker increased and bottom concave charged up for damn a lively ride. True to name, the “DOPE MACHINE” is one TUFF customer. It’s a little known fact that before the invention of transparent, high-impact polycarbonate, the L.A.P.D used DOPE MACHINE’s as riot shields during the ‘big bruise up of ‘88’.

“ESCAPE THE ROTATING DOOR OF NORMALITY”

FUNGZETTI 3-FIN OPTION/ SWALLOW TAIL

The Fungzetti is high-end European luxury supercar energy manifest in surfboard form. The plan-shape inspiration came from Misfit’s previous team favorites. Mitch Coleborn, a surfer’s surfer who defined a generation with aggressive free surfing and game-changing appearances in surf films like Modern Collective, Cluster, BS! and Stranger Than Fiction, spent years fine-tuning those boards into a pro model that accentuates his surfing style. One of the most notable changes is the distribution of or disguising of foam. Mitch wanted the board to maintain volume without a full or boxy rail. So, Misfit blended the volume modern surfers are accustomed to with sensitive or hyper-responsive rails, resulting in a more domed deck than any of Misfits shortboards. That thickness along the stringer means retained volume for paddle power and a more forgiving ride, but the rails are medium to low for sensitivity and reactive rail feel. The other notable update is a slightly wider outline. We need to stress, it’s only slight, this board is amped up performance machinery. So, let’s refer to this width as “curve”, which is continuous from nose to tail, with slightly more width up front, which aids in paddle and forward momentum. This is then blended into a swallowtail for the perfect combination of release and control. The bottom features a single concave from nose to tail cause she is all about wearing speedos. This concave is accented between the feet, which works to flatten the rocker for more

NEO SPEED EGG TWIN TWIN-FIN OPTION/ DIAMOND TAIL

Similar to other eggs, but the Neo Speed Egg is a bit smaller, a bit nastier, and she loves Gaga – confidence and fun exude from this wild child. The Neo Speed Egg is an allround design with a relaxed entry rocker for ease of paddle plus a slight lift and a snubbed off nose to reduce catching in critical parts of the wave. The clean “eggy” outline has an accented forward placed wide point for effortless paddle and trim. The diamond tail provides fluidy and control, while the points of the diamond accent the rail line, giving it more drive when combined with the twin fin configuration. Effortless release and masses of speed are guarenteed. The bottom shape is the same subtle roll vee to double vee combination, which paired with the twin fin, diamond tail + shortening of overall length, create an even livelier all-rounder that flows, glides, and positions in a wide range of locations and conditions. This board suits your transitioning surfer, through to your experienced short/ small board rider that wants a fast, flowing, dynamic mid-length. This spicy little board will have you feeling naughty with every wave.

BEACH CLOUD TWIN-FIN/ SWALLOW TAIL

If you live your life in a haze of nostalgia, always searching for that electricity of times past, the Beach Cloud is for you. As the name suggests, it has the same gaseous qualities as early evening Chanel perfume, late-night sea fog, and loud sneezes at dusk. Like traditional twinnys, the board has a fuller nose and outline but is curvier in the tail, especially behind the fins. This board is designed with modern surfy surf in mind. It has other more contemporary elements in rail shape, rocker, and foil, but stays true to the speed, flow, and highline attributes of the classic twin fin approach. An overall design emphasis on free-flowing progression, the Beach Cloud is a modern take on the classic twin fin feel that channels the past as you remember it – which is probably better than it actuallly was.

YANDINA SPEEDWAY 3-FIN/ DOMED SWALLOW TAIL

OG M/SF/T family JAKE VINCENT’s signature model, the Yandina Speedway is Queensland engine culture and hellman spirit all packaged into one musclly beast of a surfboard. For those who desire to surf like Vin; animated, untamed, progressive, and unpredictable look no further than the Yandina Speedway. The model bears a lot of similarities to Vin’s previous chariots of choice, with a similar wide nose and tail that draw the rail line out, making it more parallel to create maximum speed + drive. Lismore levels of speed + lift are also derived from a quad channel bottom which projects water out the tail. The tail also harnesses another previously proven element, the domed swallow, which in short, promotes speed and release, while maintaining control, especially in a reversed position. Most of this board’s big Vin energy is in its deck and rails. The deck is fully flat, in fact it goes beyond into a subtle concave, which creates a more sensitive surfing feel; as one’s feet are almost closer to the water and fin area. Toward the tail this then moves into a slight double concave for comfort and grip while shuvving and revving. This is all finished off with chimed rails to propel water off the deck and create shapely rails that penetrate the wall of the wave without biting. The last element, which is oh so important, is the 13 hand-drawn decals by the iconic Australian punk artist BEN BROWN that are guaranteed to make this board un-noticeable to none. As one can see she is wild beyond belief, but on a technical level this board is the evolution and next generation of the MK/ DD series, which has been years of design and research in planning hulls, channels, parallel outlines, water displacement and timeless surfboard design.

Roger Hinds shaping career has spawned four decades and encompassed the multi-faceted evolution of the short board. From his early days of stripped down long boards during the transition era, to refining his skills under the tutelage of the likes of Ed Angulo, Jeff Edwards and Kent Smith. 70’s North Shore soul with Country Surfboards and Lightning Bolt and team riders spanning the era’s and all disciplines from Jock Sutherland and Mike Armstrong to Long board World Champions Rusty Keaulana and Taylor Jensen. Production shaping for the likes of Blue Hawaii, Russ K, Harbour, Hobie and Weber, as well as head shaper for Bear USA.

“ HE WON THE ICONS OF

FOAM SHAPE-OFF BACK TO BACK IN 2014 & 2015 AT THE BOARDROOM SHOW FIRST HONORING BEN AIPA THEN RUSTY PREISENDORFER.” His attention to detail has lead to some of the most popular plugs for Clark Foam and US Blanks. He won of The Icons of Foam shape-off back to back in 2014 & 2015 at The Boardroom Show first honoring Ben Aipa then Rusty Preisendorfer. He came in second at the Ultimate Craftsman Project at the same show losing by only one tenth of a point. That same detail is reflected in start to finish shape, glass, color and polish of impeccable quality. Roger Hinds lives the art of surfboard construction. – Randy Rarick

DREAM FISH 5-FIN OPTION/ SWALLOW TAIL

As the name implies, the Dream Fish is a Fish that performs beyond expectations. The curve of the outline allows you to get more vertical than the traditional Fish, while the width in the tail gets you through the flatter or slower sections. Expect fast, loose, carving possibilities that are only limited by your imagination, the “Dream Fish” is a perfect choice for versatility and overall performance surfing. Due to Roger’s unique fin box placements and when combined with his custom NVS fins The Dream Fish can be ridden with the characteristics of a Fish, Twin Fin or Thruster depending on the fin setup you choose. Run it as a quad or a twin and draw long lines and fly down the line, run it as a thruster and carve tight arcs in the pocket and off the lip. The “Dream Fish” will take your surfing to a new level, while giving you the versatile options of Thruster, Twin Fin or Quad.

Surftech’s version of a standard EPS and epoxy surfboard construction. A closed cell EPS core containing a wood stringer is layered with E-glass and biax glass for a light weight performance board with a lively feel. All Fusion HD boards are hand finished. FUSED CELL EPS CORE

NOMAD 5-FIN OPTION/ DIAMOND TAIL

A FUNctional shortboard that makes riding a small board more approachable. The Nomad has a shortboard high performance rocker combined with a larger planning surface and a thinner overall foil, which creates a more responsive, versatile surfboard. The added fullness and width of the outline allows you catch waves like a longboard, turn like a shortboard and surf fast and loose, it puts the fun back in surfing. Like the Dream Fish, due to Roger’s unique fin box placements and when combined with his custom NVS fins The Nomad can be ridden as a Thruster, Twin Fin or Quad depending on the fin setup you choose. Run it as a quad and it really loosens up, as a twin fin it’s a speed demon that will fly down the line, as a thruster it will allow you to carve tight arcs in the pocket and under the lip. The “Nomad” will improve your surfing while giving you the versatile options of Thruster, Twin Fin or Quad.

Roger Hinds shapes a Nomad.

Shaper Profile. ROGER HINDS

ROGER HINDS IS A HUMBLE MASTER OF HIS CRAFT WHO BELIEVES EVERY SURFBOARD SHAPED IS A CHANCE TO LEARN SOMETHING NEW.

In your words, who is Roger Hinds? Roger Hinds is a guy who wanted to surf his whole life from a young age & as it turns out I’m doing it. My goal in life is to make the highest quality custom surfboard for every customer that they can paddle, ride & enjoy. How did you get into board building? Out of necessity of not having the money to buy a new surfboard, but being intrigued with the craft of building one, I would strip down longboards, which were plentiful, on the side of my mom’s house during the 1968 transition era & shape them into shorter boards. They were very crude at best because everything was trial & error & I had to learn on my own.

“I have shaped & glassed over 33,000 surfboards to date.” — Roger Hinds

Where do you see board building going in the future? The entry level “fashion” surfers will continue to buy Soft Tops & maybe an upgrade to NSP but as this class matures, and those who stick with the sport, will move into the stage of wanting something that will actually improve their surfing. It will be this group and

TAMAGO 2+1-FIN OPTION/ ROUNDED PIN TAIL

A one board quiver. The “Tamago”, or Egg shaped midlength, allows for both casual cruising and performance surfing depending on the surfer and the conditions. A “user-friendly” surfboard and wave magnet that handles a multitude of conditions with ease and makes surfing fun again. Due to the fullness of the outline the Tamago catches waves easy and gets you in early. The rounded pintail design gives the board holding power when you need it. The combination of the outline, rocker, bottom configuration, and overall balanced foil make this a versatile model that works equally well in both beach breaks and lined up point waves. A great addition to any quiver for maximizing your wave count and fun factor.

RENAISSANCE SINGLE-FIN/ SQUARE TAIL

Experience the best of the past with the top design elements of the present, experience “the Renaissance.” “Renaissance” is a French word for “rebirth”, or a new interest in something that has not been popular for a long time. Reaching back through the natural progression of his surfboard designs from his early years to the present, Roger has brought the best elements of each era forward with the Renaissance Model. The Renaissance model revisits and revies the top longboard plan shape from the 1960’s; the height of the longboard era, and combines it with modern rocker, rail, and foil design elements to bring it into the present. The modern pulled down rail allows for smooth and easy rail to rail transitions. The advanced fine foil increases the speed and the glide which makes for fast clean surfing. The result is a one board longboard quiver.

A LEGACY OF ALOHA “I WAS NEVER WATCHING WHAT OTHER BOARD BUILDERS WERE DOING... I WAS WATCHING THE SURFERS AND THE NATURAL WORLD AROUND ME. THEIR MOVEMENTS SHOWED ME WHAT WAS MISSING... I WAS ALWAYS LOOKING FOR THE NEXT WAVE... THE NEXT MOVE.” – Ben Aipa

“A LEGACY OF ALOHA”

DARK HORSE

4-FIN / ST SQUASH TAIL

More power! The Dark Horse is a lively and responsive board supercharged for high-performance groveling. The Dark Horse combines Ben Aipa’s Wing Twin template, used to make Dane Kealoha’s twins in the late 70’s, and a 90’s Swing Twin squash but shifts the wing placements to engage the wing-to-fin relationship and accent how the board performs as a quad. Featuring, mid-range rockers, a lowered rail apex line, and a staged bottom contour that blends a roll from nose down into a single concave under forward foot, to double concave deepest between the forward fins, then transitioning to a healthy amount of vee/double starting at the wing and blending out thru the tail. Riders will find the Dark Horse to be fast off the bottom and overflowing with power while stil maintaining precision control off the top.

One board that combines the best of both EPS and PU surfboards. While the EPS is lively the PU inserts dampen vibration better. The result is pop out of turns and stability while on rail. With Dual Core construction you will never have to sacrifice again. FUSED CELL EPS CORE (DUAL-CORE W/PU RAILS)

The Dark Twinn combines Ben’s Wing Twin template, used to make Dane Kealoha’s twins in the late ‘70s and ‘90s, with an updated Swing Twin Squash template for a modern feel. The shift in wing placements engages the wing-to-fin relationship and accents how the board performs as a twin fin. Featuring, Mid-range rockers, and a lowered rail apex line, the Dark Twinn is a high-performance groveler built for aggressive surfing in soft waves. A staged bottom contour with a blended roll from the nose down into a single concave under the forward foot transitions into a double concave that is deepest between the forward fins. The concave then blends with a healthy amount of vee/double-concave, starting at the wing, and easing through the tail. The Dark Twinn is a lively and responsive board proven from Pismo Beach mush to juicy Hawaiian surf. One board that combines the best of both EPS and PU surfboards. While the EPS is lively the PU inserts dampen vibration better. The result is pop out of turns and stability while on rail. With Dual Core construction you will never have to sacrifice again.

“A LEGACY OF ALOHA”

WRECKING BALL 5-FIN OPTION / MULTI PRONGED EXPERIMENTAL TAIL The Wrecking Ball design comes from an experimental shortboard design Ben Aipa worked on in 1977.

A full

nose and broad outline in the front half of the board meet an unmistakable Aipa wing near the back third of the board, where the outline curves in a tight radius untill it hits a multipronged experimental tail. Ben’s futuristic outline packs a ton of board into a short package. The resulting increase in volume gives The Wrecking Ball extra float for faster paddling and a feeling of “unsinkableness” even the meanest of flat spots can’t sink. Updated with high-performance bottom contours by Ben’s son Duke the wrecking ball features a transitional bottom that fades from a rolled nose to a single concave in the middle of the board to a double concave under the fins and finishes with a vee out the tail. To make the most of the Wrecking Ball’s down-the-line drive and allow riders to harness control of the extra speed this board generates, we’ve opted for a quad fin setup. The result is a high-performance super groveler that blends classic design, experimental innovation, and modern sensibilities into a surfboard that drives down the line with unparalleled speed and bashes through sections without remorse. Feel the power of The Wrecking Ball!

BIG BOY STING

4 + 1 FIN SETUP / SWALLOW TAIL

A favored model for the 210 pounds plus surfer, the Big Boy Sting is designed for the big boys and girls who want to maximize power without giving up maneuverability. Proven to perform by Ben Aipa on the south shore on Oahu, The Big Boy Sting was designed by Ben in the late ‘90s and underwent heavy testing through the ‘2000s. After minor refinements and 100’s of boards built, the Big Boy Sting is now considered the most iconic Aipa design. Thickness where it counts and tapered rails combined with a pulled-in nose and tail allow the Big Boy Sting to turn tight and fast in the pocket. The Big Boy Sting is no puffed-up old guy board; instead, it is a high-performance power surfer’s precision weapon with extra bulk added only where it is needed. We’ve added a swallow tail for extra control when stomping on the tail through powerful sections and decreased drag when driving off the bottom. To ensure the board works in multiple conditions, we’ve included a 4+1 fin setup. Riders can go with a quad fin setup when they need to skate across flat sections or a 2 + 1 when they need extra control in powerful waves. For the first time, the Big Boy Sting is now available in Surftech’s Fusion HD construction. A lightweight, durable epoxy build that adds extra liveliness to an already energetic design.

Shaper Profile. DUKE AIPA

DUKE AIPA SPENT AS MUCH TIME PLAYING WITH FOAM AS HE DID TOY-CARS GROWING UP, IN AND OUT OF HIS FATHER’S SHAPING BAY. HE IS THE YOUNGEST SON OF STORIED BEN AIPA, MASTER INNOVATOR, AND SHAPER. What does it mean to be the son of Ben Aipa? It used to be a heavy weight to even think about...son of Ben Aipa...named after his inspiration , the great Duke Kahanamoku...but it all boils down to perspective...I now view it as not being in my dads shadow...but living in his light.. I live my life in Aloha..just as my father did...and the Duke before him What motivates you to get in the water and go for a surf? Theres zero motivation...the ocean is where I find myself.. where I connect with my ancestors...where I get to create movement and participate in the freedom of the waves. Paint a picture of your childhood. What were your family dynamics, exposure to the ocean, and parental expectations like? We obviously were a surfing first family..and thats how we were raised. In the ocean before the sun came up...and getting out when the sun went down..surfing is who we were as a family. Did my dad want me to be world champ someday... yes..was that my path..No.. I had that freedom..the mobility to create and experience anything I wamnted to... There were no expectations..my parents supported me no matter what I got into...from surfing, to soccer, to ice skating, music..whatever I wanted to do they encouraged it. When and how did you begin shaping yourself? We grew up in factories and surf shops.. it was just a part of everyday life for us. So beginning? It was always there...every kid plays with their dads tools...our dads tools just happened to be shaping tools..Ultimately I would become his shaper towards the end of his career, and take over shaping his designs. I’ve had multiple people describe you as a big teddy bear. What makes you go from soft and cuddly to savage beast? You have to watch out for teddy bears...lol I do have a birthright...by namesake to perpetuate..being named after Duke Kahanamoku is a huge responsibility and with it an opportunity to be a source of Aloha that is fading from our growing sport. That’s not to say that I don’t teach a few “lessons” in the water..so what triggers me? You’ll have to Surf with me and find out.

BIG BROTHER STING 4+1 FIN SETUP / SWALLOW TAIL

Big boards equal big guy fun! Ben Aipa’s staple longboard, The Big Brother Sting is a high-performance tank designed to power through the mushiest of conditions. Extra thickness in the center of the board with a nicely foiled rail gives the perfect balance of float and performance. Riders will be able to catch any wave without sacrificing maneuverability. A wider outline up in the front of the board increases stability, and a pulledin tail allows quick directional changes. The iconic AIPA wing joins the front of the board, where float and stability reign supreme, with the back of the board where big turns and precision control are possible. To keep things light, we’ve built the Big Brother Sting in Surftech’s Fusion HD construction. A lightweight and durable epoxy with a lively flex. Big stoke comes guaranteed with the Big Brother Sting; finally, a board that makes less than ideal conditions just as fun as the best day of the year.

What do you consider to be the most important characteristic of

built is almost more impressive. Can you talk about that community

your father’s designs? Why?

and what /who you are working with as far as future surfers go?

There are so many ‘attributes” that make an AIPA and AIPA...hands down

My dad had who considered his STINGMEN back in the day..Larry

the most signature of them all is the STING...the STING has it’s own life

Bertlemann, Markl Liddell, Buttons Kaluhiokalani, Dane Kealoha..these

force...it’s our DNA....more than a design element...it is a characteristic...

guys were symbiotic to my dads shaping..together they were a catalyst

it brings charisma..IDENTITY..to a board design. When you see a board

for the most explosive shift in surfing ever..a shift whose magnitude we

model with a STING , you KNOW it’s an AIPA. How many boards can you

will probably never see again..For me I’ve had to learn not to look and

identify like that?

expect, but more to just let things happen...Kekoa Cazimero has been a surfer who I have that Hawaiian connection with that reminds me of

I’m sure it is one of the heavy parts of carrying on your father’s

what my father experienced with his guys…

shaping lineage but what parts of Ben’s design or board building

But future surfers..thats the groms...There is this brother / sister duo that

process are you changing to fit your own style?

I make boards for that will be standouts for sure! And thats what this

I would have to say that continuing to be what my dad called “core” ,

journey is about...the next move

which to him was what was happening now...or what was needed as a change to make surfing progress.

Is it the surfer, the board, or the wave?

Outlines, rails, bottom contours...just like surfing these elements are

It’s the intention..The great Duke Kahanamoku said “ the best surfer

always in need of constant refinement to allow the surfer to take their

SURFING to another level.

intention.. The intention to be stoked.

As important a role as board design plays in the AIPA history books I’d say the surfers who rode AIPA’s and the community your dad

Donald Takayama’s legacy is a combination of the worlds best boards, best surfers and best waves, making his boards some of the most sought after in the surfing world. Takayama was famous for his progressive designs that combined both traditional and high-performance aspects into every board made. As a result, the best surfers chose his boards to bring their surfing to the next level. Donald Takayama and Surftech worked together for over 20 years before his passing, with a relationship built on trust and a commitment to produce quality products that compliment the designs he so passionately created.

HUMU FISH

NEW

TWIN / SWALLOW

Straight from the past, this Fish is a re-worked classic of Donald’s designs. More angle on the fins and a thinnerblady tail make this board go faster and turn tighter than you ever thought possible on a fish. This model can definitely compete with the best and must be tried to fully appreciate it’s maneuverability. This is the fastest fish you will ever set foot on. This model allows quick vertical snaps, cutbacks in small and mushy to big and barreling.

Donald’s favorite glider! This Hawaiian Cross Country glider was inspired by the outer reefs on Oahu’s South Shore. Although this board is long, it is still capable of noseriding and turning like a board shorter in size. It has a DT-1 rocker, so anyone used to riding other Takayama’s will feel very comfortable on the Prince Kuhio. The medium rocker helps make paddling easy and surfing user-friendly. Also included are Donald’s patented 60/40 rails and tucked under edge, making this board very forgiving in turns. Available in a 3 fin setup capable of riding as a single fin or 2+1 setup depending on the surfer’s style.

MODEL T SINGLE / SQUARE TAIL

Widely

considered

one

the

best

surfboards

for

noseriding in the world. This design is the most well-rounded and versatile of Donald’s classic retro line. With a broad, easy to noseride front and wide, surprisingly loose tail, this board is a staple of every one of Donald’s team riders’ quivers. Classic 50/50 rails, a single fin box, and a wide square tail give the Model T a classic flair suited for beautiful surfing. The Model T will perfectly complement anyone’s longboard quiver. The Model T performs best in waves from shoulder high to ankle small. If you are looking for a longboard that promotes style and noseriding, look no further than this heavily tested and time-trodden gem of a surfboard.
