Inspired by the outline of the Great White Shark, Kelly Slater designed the ‘Great White Twin’ in I-Bolic Technology with Volcanic Lamination alongside Bali-based shaper Mike Woo. This is a high performance groveler with the paddle and catching of a hybrid, and the on-rail performance of a shortboard. It fits where most fish don’t – it creates…
“After a few years of testing we’ve found the formula for a board I can use in small conditions and cruise focusing on classic style longboarding but also working in descent waves allowing to do amazing nose rides in critical parts of the waves. That board is also super solid and I can travel with no worries about it being broken.” Edouard Delpero Dimensions TEC 9’2 x 23” x 3 1/8” – 77.2 ltr Alain…
THE DON ALL THE TRICKS IN THE BOX Modern longboarding has a variety of skill and style that is hard to compare in any other sport. Depending on the surfer, or the wave, or the board, it can be a dance or a martial art. It can be light footed poise or powerful drive, straight line trim or vertical snaps, nose rides or carves. A true modern high performance longboard has to be capable of…

The CHAMELEON knows no boundaries. Not a log, not an Hp but a perfect marriage of the two. Combining everything Ryan and CJ know about long boarding, we blended performance rails with a performance rocker, a wide nose and a blended concave and edge in the tail for control at top speeds. The result is truly special and unique. A board that does it all, in nearly every condition. This board tip rid es with…
CJ Nelson The PARALLAX PLUS is a classic long hull. This design was first seen under Nat young during the summer of 68. By all accounts the most prolific surfing ever seen at Malibu. His performance that summer started a cult following that still haunts the hollowed walls of Surfrider beach today. We obviously put our spin on that original concept. More rocker, less roll, performance rail and modest two plus one fin setup makes…

The Greedy Beaver has a real shortboard feel with a compressed longboard outline, a true crossover board with midlength retro glide and shortboard maneuverability. Put it on rail while engaging the single to double concave, step on the rounded pin and it surfs like a shortboard in the pocket. Or take advantage of the single to double concave and large planing surface to trim effortlessly over dead sections. The beveled rail reduces the overall…
The Hypto Krypto is a balance of tradition and modern performance. Suited to the elite level surfer to the everyday surfer, it is often referred to as the ‘one board quiver’ for its versatility across all types of surf conditions – from small 1-3 ft beach breaks, to barrels of up to 8ft. Grom sizes perfect wider up front for groms to glide into waves and a smaller tail so there small feet can handle…
The Cymatic is an avant-garde, ultra high performance machine. This shape is a hybrid of the Sci-Fi and Omni models so obviously, you can almost imagine the two boards combining naturally one night with Tomo away from the shaping bay. Fans of the Sci-Fi will immediately notice Tomo’s double bat tail. Much of the Sci-Fi’s popularity in 2016 and 2017 has been this tail design coupled with Tomo’s Quad Inside Single Concave. Functionally, the marriage…

The wide point is forward of center allowing a lot of hidden foam to be under the front foot giving the surfer a larger sweet spot while surfing and…
