[ Shortboards and Extended Shortboards ]
Custom shapes for maximum performance in any conditions - The primary design focus of the short board is to blend a combination of variables (rocker, bottom contours, thickness flow, rails, and template) to generate speed, power, and control. These boards evolve continually, sometimes in incremental steps other times in quantum leaps. "Extending" the length, width, and thickness brings the same performance potential to larger and older surfers. |

[ Semi Guns ]
Designed for speed, quickness, and control in larger and thicker waves. Paddling and entry are a premium in these shapes. Shallow vee in entry transitions to single concave from the widepoint through the tail. Maximum depth of concave is just in front of fins. |

[ Guns ]
Big wave surfing places brutally clear cut demands on a surfboard. First and foremost is catching waves with fluid entry followed closely by control getting to and off the bottom of the wave. A fundamental and simple design. Tested by and limited to serious surfers in serious waves. |

[ "Contemporary" Fish ]
"Contemporary" Fish are shorter and wider, but generally not thicker than a shortboard. Extra surface area generates lift, providing speed and maneuverability. Varying the curve in rocker and template control turning radius and drive. Options include twin keel fins, quads, and thrusters. This design takes the performance level of four to six foot surf and applies it to one to two foot surf. Excellent designs for marginal and good surf. |

[ Hybrids ]
Hybrid design varies with the surfer, the approach they take to surfing, and the waves they intend to ride. Borrowing components from modern shortboards and integrating them into a longer - wider surfboard with significant surface area, hybrids combine the thrill of carve and glide. The fuller nose and above average width provide maximum surface area and stability. The contemporary rocker, bottom contours, and rails facilitate easy board management. |

[ Longboards ]
"Traditional Longboards" capture the classic lines of the halcyon days of longboards. "Classic" density foam and 10 oz volan cloth yield a weighty board that trims and nose rides with ease. "Contemporary Longboards" are versatile and performance oriented. They combine classic outlines with contemporary rocker, bottom contours, and rails. Lighter foam density and glassing schedule contribute to a more sensitive feel than their classic predecessor. These boards carve, trim, and ride the nose. |
