DEVILED EGG MADERA
from Surftech Surf 2024
by Surftech
4+1 FIN OPTION / ROUNDED PIN TAIL
When designing the Deviled Egg, Steve’s goal was to create the ultimate one-board quiver —a versatile Swiss Army Knife-type shape that could handle a wide range of wave conditions from waist-high to overhead and would serve as the ultimate travel board. Reaching back into his archives, Steve started with a classic mid-length egg outline and added his trademark Magic Model concave bottom and hard rails. The result is a morphed board that combines Steve’s traditional roots and experimental design philosophy. A pulled-in nose, rounded pin tail, and longdrawn-out curve through the middle of the board’s outline are a few of the features that make the Deviled Egg a highly maneuverable yet smoothriding hybrid. The Deviled Egg also has plenty of volume to get into waves early, plus just enough rocker and nose kick to handle steeper drops. We’ve combined the Deviled Egg with Surftech’s Madera construction for a an eco friendly vibe. For riders who want dependability and are looking to blur the lines between shortboarding and longboarding look no further than the Deviled Egg.
Albert Einstein once said, “Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.” Taking old Albert’s advice we looked to the natural world for inspiration when creating our new Madera construction. While identifying materials that we could sustainably harvest was a priority, we were not willing to sacrifice either performance or durability. Known for its brawn and as the main material used in the first surfboards, wood was an obvious choice. Our Madera collection uses a variety of sustainably harvested timber chosen for its strength to weight ratio, not to mention its aesthetic beauty, to create a durable outer shell around a super light EPS core. The board is then encapsulated in an epoxy resin to create a watertight seal and further add rigidity. Our first test riders were blown away by the performance and, even though you could ding one if you really tried, we have not had a test board come back dinged or broken. If you are looking for a board that performs, is durable, and uses sustainably sourced materials the Madera collection is for you.

WOOD VENEER
// Sustainable harvested durable outer layer protects against dings and dampens chatter.
What It Does How It Feels
“THE FATHER OF THE MODERN LONGBOARD”
Magic Madera
2+1 FIN SETUP / DIAMOND SQUASH TAIL
It’s called the Magic Model for a reason. The Magic rocker, Magic rails, and the Magic hull, are very unique to Walden Surfboards, the front 1/2 of the hull is concave, this single concave transitions into a double concave in the rear and the back 1/3 transitions into a moderate “V”. The concave nose adds lift and stability, perfect for noseriding. The double concaved hull and hard rails make the board fast, stable, responsive and maneuverable in all conditions. The Magic rails are hard, they tend to be harder than most other longboards, the unique bottom curves & bevels keep the rails from catching unlike most other hard rail boards. Riders of the Magic Model have been known to surf better, catch extra waves and enjoy their sessions more.
