2025 Surftech Surf Catalog by Surftech

Durability. Performance. Technology.

WE’RE GOING PRO!

Professional-level quality should be available to all surfers. Tuflite Professional is the result of 35 years of testing and multiple iterations of Surftech’s innovative molded construction. An ultra light fused core is molded for perfect replication of shape every time. The light core allows us to add extra protective layers and manipulate the flex of the board. The layup consist of a high-density deck and bottom layer inserted into a recess in the board, combined with unidirectional carbon rails plus multiple layers of e-glass and biaxel. The result is a drastic improvement in both break strength as well and impact resistance. The process of, Omega Glassing, wrapping and overlapping the recess and rails of the board is a feat of engineering allowing for added strength without adding weight. Tuflite Professional is the perfect blend of durability and engineered performance; built to elevate your surfing.

HUMU FISH

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.

PRINCE KUHIO GLIDER

2+1 FIN SETUP / PIN TAIL

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.

If you like smooth surfing and catching lots of waves the Egg is for you. A classic Takayama design that can be credited with introducing many modern day “Mid-length” advocates this style of board. If you’re not quite ready to “rip and shred” on a short board, nor are you interested in cruising on a longboard, then the Takayama Egg is the perfect solution. This model is an “eggy” shape that allows the rider to trim high on the wave in the middle of the board or race down the line on the tail. Your pick. The Egg is a great board for beginner to advanced riders.

There is no such thing as the perfect longboard, but if there was this would be darn close. Donald’s “all-rounder”. This board was designed with more focus on noseriding than the DT-1. With the ability to do it all. Turn, trim, noseride, you name it the DT-2 can do it. Working in waves from ankle high to well overhead, the DT-2 can be ridden and enjoyed in all conditions. This board could easily be a one board quiver or just a trusty old friend you pull out when you want a board you know you can trust.

SCORPION 2

Small but mighty, don’t underestimate the power of the Scorpion 2. Donald wanted to make a wider tail, narrower nose and more rounded out version of the popular Scorpion model. This allows the surfer to go a little shorter in board length and can sport multiple fin combinations. This board excels in small California style surf to well overhead island style barrels. It’s a very fast paddler with easy tail control and the Tuflite construction gives it unparalleled durability. The Scorpion 2 Tuflite V-Tech is a must have for every surf quiver!

SYNTHETIC 84’

TRI FIN/ SQUASH TAIL

The Synthetic 84 is a tribute to the good old days, when Timmy started his first surfboard label Synthetic surfboards in the 1980’s. Timmy has taken all the positive aspects of boards he built then and has incorporated them into the modern shapes of today. This combo is nothing but pure magic and has been tested by some of the top surfers from around the globe. The consensus of all that have ridden the Synthetic 84’ was nothing but fantastic! As a matter of fact, the “psych meter” went through the roof! The Synthetic 84 has a lower rocker and the bottom runs flat to a slight single into a slight double and fades into vee off the tail. The deck stays flat with a down rail and beak nose. This allows for maximum volume, yet the down rail lets you still sink this higher volume board onto rail in critical sections and off your bottom turns. It has a fuller outline so this board likes to increase your wave count and really comes in handy battling out the every day crowds. You will want to ride this model about 2 inches shorter than your everyday shortboard and comes in a tri fin set up.

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.

If you’re seeking a board that effortlessly glides through slow and weak sections, the Gas Pedal is the perfect choice. This board delivers a high-performance feel without compromising on speed. While Einstein may have formulated the theory of relativity, Timmy has cracked the code for every surfer’s need for speed. Whether you’re dealing with small, gutless waves or overhead conditions, the Gas Pedal is a versatile and dependable option for all your surfing needs. Crafted with a medium-low nose rocker and a medium-high kick in the tail rocker, the Gas Pedal generates exceptional speed.

BLUE FIN

FIVE FIN/ ROUND PIN TAIL

Introducing the Blue Fin model, a versatile surfboard designed to excel in shorter mid-length sizes ranging from 6’6” to 7’10”. This board is perfect for those seeking a slightly longer and higher-volume option compared to traditional shortboards. Get ready to catch more waves and experience the difference from your very first paddle out. The Blue Fin features ample foam on the deck, thanks to its full rails. This abundant volume allows for easy wave-catching, providing a noticeable advantage right from the start. While the nose has been subtly pulled in, it still offers enough width to handle steeper sections and navigate through hollow parts of the wave. The tail maintains a medium width, providing a balanced feel. However, don’t be fooled by its width – the flip in the tail rocker enables powerful turns with drive, responsiveness, and maneuverability. With a single to double concave running along the bottom of the board, the Blue Fin generates incredible speed. The Blue Fin is incredibly versatile, serving as a user-friendly board that cruises effortlessly during smaller days, while also delivering the freedom for high-performance rail-to-rail surfing in solid conditions. It truly caters to surfers seeking to catch more waves without compromising on the thrill of performance-oriented maneuvers.

The Gerry Lopez collection is representative of the quiver Gerry makes for himself today. His shaping is and always has been utilitarian. Every shape start swith a wave and an idea of how to ride that wave. Each shape is an attempt at making that idea a reality. You can be sure every board in the Gery Lopez line has been tested by the best in the best waves.

A quiver of Gerry Lopez boards from our EPS line waiting to be surfed.

“SURF IS WHERE YOU FIND IT”

GLIDER

Gerry Lopez calls this glider the “secret weapon.” If you are looking for an unfair advantage over the rest of the crowd, look no further than this fast paddling, quick gliding, lightning bolt of a board. Very subtle bottom contours allow Gerry’s Glider to move over flat water with ease, giving this board a feel of magical momentum. A flat deck hides extra volume under the chest when paddling and creates stability when gliding from section to section. A pulled-down rail allows the board to change direction without having to muscle it and also cuts nicely across steep sections of the wave face. Minimal rider feedback is necessary to get this bad boy up and going. You really just need to make it to your feet, and the board will do the rest. The Gerry Glider will make 1ft waves a blast but could potentially be ridden in large surf as well if the surfer is capable of handeling the speed the board generates.

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.

SOMETHING FISHY

4-FIN / SWALLOW TAIL

Like going back in time , while knowing everything you know now. Back in the early 1970s, Steve Lis created a surfboard design, The Fish, that has endured through the decades and is as valid today as it was almost 50 years ago. The Fish design has gone through just about every permutation and probably most shapers. The Something Fishy is a blend of Steve’s old template with Gerry’s take on the rails, bottom shape, and rocker. Gerry Fish, like a Lis Fish, is still fast as heck, but the updates give Gerry’s version a bit more maneuverability and make the board easier to control. A We like how it works and, if you are a Fish lover, we think you might too. We loved the Something Fishey so much we decided to build it in our exclusive Fusion HD construction. This lightweight and responsive built is great for high-performance ripping, downthe-line projections, and other aggressive surfing techniques. Overall we feel The Fusion HD construction enhances the characteristics already found in the Something Fishey.

LITTLE DARLIN

5-FIN OPTION / SWALLOW TAIL

A board so easy to ride it will feel like you are cheating. The Little Darlin evolved out of Gerry Lopez’s prevalent Cheater Model. In the search for more performance, Gerry slimmed down the design. The narrow width makes the board snappy and responsive without losing paddle power. A single to double concave gives the Little Darlin’ speed and hold when the surf gets big. The Little Darlin’ is a sweet, quick, easy-riding board that can take it to powerful waves with confidence. You can trust the Little Darlin will catch any wave while still handling late takeoffs, steep drops, and fast-hollow sections. Surftech’s exclusive Fusion HD technology adds to the board’s response.

SQUIRTY

5-FIN OPTION / ROUND PIN TAIL

Find your balance with the Squirty. By harnessing the Yin and Yang of surfboard design, Gerry has created a board that truly does it all. The Squirty’s extra width and volume near the nose of the board will help surfers catch more waves. While a pulled-in tail and curvacious back half will allow the board to rip hard. A Low entry rocker with a slightly rolled bottom going into a single concave and finishing in a double concave with a user-friendly tail lift, makes the Squirty loose and fast. The Squirty has everything a surfer could want in one board, making it the perfect daily driver.

WHAT IT DOES HOW IT FEELS

Gerry Lopez grew up in the extraordinary place that was Hawaii in the 1950s and 1960s. He played a part in the shortboard revolution of the late 1960s and early 1970s. He experienced the awe, fear and ultimate satisfaction of finding the tube in the early days at the Pipeline. He traveled for surf throughout the world: to

the original surf camp at G-Land, the exotic islands off Sumatra and especially to the magic island of Bali, Indonesia - before it became a popular surf destination. He experienced the beginnings of windsurfing on Maui, the early years of snowboarding and tow-in surfing at Jaws.

GERRY LOPEZ Shaper Profile.

TURNING PLAY INTO HIS LIFE’S WORK GERRY LOPEZ KNOWS THE VALUE OF ‘SHOWING UP.’ BY LOGGING, POSSIBLY THE MOST AND VERY ARGUABLY THE BEST, WAVES OF ANY SURFER/SHAPER IN THE WORLD GERRY DEVELOPED AN INTUITION THAT DEFINED AND CONTINUES TO INSPIRE HIS SHAPING STYLE.

Can you tell me about the best surfboard you ever rode? Did you shape it? Where did you surf it?

Oh, boy. You know, when you’ve been surfing as long as I have, there’s really a lot of good boards, and I don’t know, there’s no real best one, but yeah, I’ve been shaping boards for 54 years now. Holy cow! Yeah. And, you know, All the way along, there’s been some really great ones, but it wasn’t so much the last one as the next one. It’s just kind of like in surfing, you know, it’s not so much the last wave you had, it’s the next one you’re going to get. And that’s maybe one of the — you know, the downfalls of being a surfboard builder is that every time you’re riding a board, you’re thinking how you can improve it and that’s why you’re always thinking about that next board. There’s never one that’s just perfect. There’s always room for improvement and, you know, some small (or big) modification there’s your next board.

That’s cool. It seems like the more boards you shape, the better your boards are going to get. Can you tell us more about how you learned to shape?

People don’t realize that it’s not that hard to make a surfboard. And there’s a lot of things that you can’t really explain totally going on in surfing and in surfboards. And a lot of times a guy will just say out of the blue, “I’m going to make a surfboard,” and this is what happened to me. You know, I mean, actually, it wasn’t even my idea, it was a friend of mine. I just got this board from Dick Brewer in 1967 and it was the very first short board of that period. It was really a great board because it was different. Everybody had long boards and all of a sudden I had a shorter board. But it was really lightly glass and so it didn’t last that long and I wanted to get another one, but by then everybody wanted to get these same shorter boards and Dick didn’t have any time for me. And this friend of mine goes, “Well, let’s just make our own boards.” And I went, “we don’t know how to do that.” And he goes, “we’ll figure it out along the way, you know?” So we stripped down our long boards so we had some foam and he went first. We only had one pair of sawhorses in his dad’s garage, you know, and he had at it and shaped this board. And then it was my turn. I don’t even remember what it looked like, but it was short. it was seven foot six, you know, which was a foot shorter than the board I had been riding, which was already, you know, one of the shortest boards around. We shaped them up and then we glassed them up and then when they were done and we took them down and went surfing — man, they felt like they rode like the wind. You know, they were just great. And I was coming in from that first session and

another friend was in the parking lot and he had money in his hand. He said, “I want that board. “ I took the money and just like that I was in the surfboard business, you know, and then it’s been a long long process ever since I’ve just, you know, one board to the next. And a lot of them along the way have been boards for myself and I see that with my son, you know, he’s made so many boards for himself. And that’s part of the process is that there’s a lot of experimentation, you know, and you got to try stuff to see if it works, to see how it works and, you know, to see if you can improve what you already have.

“Every board I made would make surfing that very difficult wave a little easier.”

You make shaping surfboards sound so easy. In fact you seem to make a lot of things seem easy. What was your approach to surfing challenging waves like the Pipeline?

It had more to do with the board than anything else. There was a lot of experimentation with trying to build boards for the pipeline in the very beginning. We had an advantage. Going back to that first 8’6” Brewer when I took that out of the Pipeline, it was such an improvement over any of the long boards that we ever rode out there. And then, once I started making my own boards, one board after the other, every board I made would make surfing that very difficult wave a little easier. But it took a lot of boards, you know, and the Pipeline is notorious for breaking boards in half. So because the next day there’s probably going to be more waves you go back and make a new board. And each one was an improvement over the last one. And that was the beauty of not only shaping but, you know, building your own boards, combined with wanting to raise your skill level in surfing to become a better surfer. You know, you wanted to improve your surfing skills, but you only could to a certain point, then you had to get a better surfboard. That’s kind of been the story of my whole life, you know, trying to make a better surfboard to try and have a little more success in surfing.

How do you balance the surfer/shaper role?

I mean, you know, when I was young, I remember I had, I guess, kind of an epiphany. I was out surfing and I was just a kid, but I looked around and all morning, I’m going, “wow, where’s all the good guys?” You know, the guys like in their twenties, you know, they’re the top surfers and where are they? One of the old guys was out there and I went and asked him, and he goes, “oh, they’re working.” And I realized if you go to work, you’re going to miss the good waves. I thought back to when I sold that first surfboard to that kid in the parking lot, and I went; this might be a good way to have a job. And you know, it evolved into being the greatest job in the world if you want to be where the waves are good. All my customers understood that if the waves were good, it was going to take a little longer for them to get their surfboard. So it was a good way to live if you wanted to be a surfer.

What do you dream for the future, your future, your family’s future, future of surfing?

Well, I think the beauty of life for me right now is seeing my son embracing not only surfing, but surfboard building as well. Watching him enjoy all the same things that I enjoyed is neat. It’s a little bit of a different world, but in a lot of ways, it’s still the same, you know, and it’s a good life. I think we’re pretty fortunate that we got to be surfers in this lifetime. Surfing is a great way to live.

Is it the surfer, the board or the wave?

Well, it’s all a bit, you know, it’s a dance. And you know, your surfboards, your partner, the waves, the music and it’s one of the greatest dances there is in life, I think. And I’ve loved every moment of it.

If you’re going to give advice to a new surfer, what would you tell them?

Keep paddling.

LONGHAUL

SINGLE-FIN / SQUARE TAIL

Nothing feels better than to ride the nose on a long section hanging ten or even getting a cheater five up there. Any long boarder worth his salt needs to have one of these moves in his repertoire and the Long Haul / Fusion-Poly makes it easier. The wide, full nose template gives one plenty of planing surface and room to stand up there comfortably. The square tail works as a release point allowing the board to pivot for quicker turns but you will be riding the other end of the Long Haul most of the time.

Known by many as the “Father of the Modern Longboard,” Steve Walden shaped his first surfboard in 1961, at age 13, and never looked back. Eight years later, the native Southern Californian opened his first board factory and store in Huntington Beach, then moved to the North Shore of Oahu in 1972, where he made a name for himself as a prolific longboard shaper. While the rest of the surfing world was fixated on short singlefins, Walden continued to faithfully hone his longboard designs.

Over the years he shaped for prestigious labels like Lightning Bolt, Local Motion, HIC, and Channel Islands, but it was always his own boards that set him apart. By the early 80s, Walden returned to California where he unveiled his wildly successful Magic Model with its radical rocker, down-turned rails, and super-fast Turbo Hull bottom contour.

TO DATE, WALDEN ESTIMATES HE’S PERSONALLY SHAPED MORE THAN 20,000 BOARDS

With arguably the most advanced and high performance longboard on the market, Walden was uniquely positioned to capitalize on the resurgence of longboarding in the late 80s and 90s. To date, Walden estimates he’s personally shaped more than 20,000 boards, and in 2004, he teamed up with Global Surf Industries to distribute his shapes and expand the Walden Surfboards brand worldwide. These days, when he’s not mowing foam, Walden is surfing. Though he competed some as a teenager, he returned to contest surfing at the age of 30 and has been a regular on the winner’s podium ever since. In fact, Walden still holds the record for the longest noseride in competition history with an epic 25.5-second ride.

STEVE WALDEN Shaper Profile.

STEVE IS A SOFT SPOKEN BUT CONFIDENT ARTIST WHOSE WORK IS ROOTED IN PRAGMATISM. STEVE’S UNIQUE ABILITY TO MERGE CUTTING EDGE FEATURES WITH TIME TESTED DESIGNS TO CREATE USER FRIENDLY SURFBOARDS THAT ALSO PERFORM AT HIGH LEVELS IS UNMATCHED.

Are your boards built for a particular type of surfer or person in mind or do you build boards with the intention of them working for as many people as possible?

Who is a Steve Walden?

That would be me… (Steve is not one to talk about himself. He prefers to let the boards and his surfing do the talking.)

Do you still hold the record for longest nose ride?

As far as I know, yes. That was in 1995 the Tom Morey invitational.

Tell us more?

I had the longest noseride I think at 27.5 seconds and a total for 3 waves of over 50 seconds.

Why did you start building boards?

I love to make things. I made my first bodyboard about 1960.

Which do you prefer: lefts, rights, or communists?

Rights, I’m a regular foot. Although I lived right at Rocky Point lefts during the 1970’s.

Do you consider yourself a shaper or a surfer first?

Surfer I started in 1960 when I lived in Whitter, California. I kept a log and in 1964 I went surfing over 200+ days and I didn’t even drive a car. It was about a 30-45 minute drive to the beach back then.

What is the secret to surfing longevity?

For me it has really helped being on or very close to the beach. That’s a way to surf a lot more than living an hour or so away. Being in the surf business and competing in about 200 events also kept me really connected. Most of my friends and social life kept the stoke going for decades.

Can you tell us about the best board you ever built? It would definitely be the Magic Model. I designed a board to compliment the way I surfed. I love to noseride and surf a progressive style, off the lip, drop knee cutbacks, do fin slides etc. I combined hard rails nose to tail, beveled edges, a concave nose blending in to a double concave for lift and a higher nose and tail rocker than most other boards. I wanted an all around board.

The Magic model is very versatile. Take a 9’0’’ for example, It’s great for beginners as it turns very easy at low speeds, it is also used in competition by a lot of advanced surfers. It is great in small waves and I have surfers that have rode them in competitions in Hawaii and Tahiti in 15-25’ surf. I have asked them if they need me to change the shape and no, it works great just like it is. So because of those features it’s a great travel board.

Who is the best surfer to ever ride one of your boards? Do you remember any specific sessions of that rider on your board? There were a lot of really good surfers who have rode the boards. I do remember watching Duane DeSoto surfing in the triple crown in Hawaii surfing solid 15-20’ faces and the board worked very good.

What do you think is the most important design, construction, technology, or ideological change in surfing?

I have watched so much change in the last 20 years. It used to be you ride a 60-66 shortboard or a 90-96 longboard and nothing in between. Now anything is acceptable. You have fish, asymmetrical, hybrid’s, eggs, mini longboards etc. etc. And with the acceptance of EPS, boards are lighter.

If you had to choose a board that lasted forever or a board that performed at world champ levels for one session what would you choose?

Definitely a Magic Model hands down. It would do both!

If you could make enough money from selling surfboards with Surftech that you never had to work again, what would you do next (or would you keep shaping customs)?

I have been lucky making boards for over 50 years and could retire now. I am doing what I love to do. Shape and design new models and testing new concepts. I still glass a board or so every week and I do all the repairs for Walden Surfboards Ventura. It keeps me current with my trade. To me as an artist it meets that need in many ways.

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

It’s the surfer enjoying the power of the wave, a feeling that is enhanced by being on a surfboard. The surfboard is the vehicle that brings you and the wave together.

Wayne Rich is a world-renowned surfboard shaper who has been designing boards for over 40 years. He is known for his progressive designs, attention to detail ,and quality craftsmanship. Surftech is honored to partner with Wayne to produce and distribute three models of surfboards built in two different constructions. The new boards, the Wildcard 3, the Singularity, and the Checkmate, are all proven designs built to perform in a variety of conditions, from small waves to large swells.

WHAT IS THE CHANGE GOING TO CREATE? THAT’S THE FUN OF IT.”

- Wayne Rich

Born and raised in Hermosa Beach, CA Wayne began shaping under Dan Bendiksen at Bing Surfboards, from there he continued on to become part owner of Jacobs surfboards, and then eventually started his own label. Wayne is a 2x Boardroom show winner whose respect for tradition is only matched by his need to innovate.

“THE UNDERGROUND LIVES”

SINGULARITY

FUTURES TWIN + TRAILER /SWALLOW TAIL

FUTURES QUAD / DIAMOND TAIL

2+1 FCS / PIN TAIL

An eruption of unparalleled creativity. The Singularity is a nod to an era of break through wave riding and soul-shaping from decades past. The design came to Wayne as a young surfer in the South Bay. Inspired by the boards he was riding from Dan Bendicksen, Mike Geib, Redeman, and Phil Becker, Wayne began experimenting with his own single fins, and fluted tail boards. There was a soul and feel to the boards that Wayne and other riders loved. Over the years, Wayne and the Singularity were heavily influenced by Dick Brewer, Reno Abellira, Owl Chapman, Gerry Lopez, and Michael Peterson. Building and riding these boards for years allowed for a natural evolution and the incorporation of the best design elements from over 4 decades. The Singularities of today are wide point forward, low rocker speedsters. Available in a Twin, Quad, and 2+1, each fin setup and tail combo pays homage to a particular time in Wayne’s shaping and wave riding career. Now available in Surftech’s Carbon construction for added performance and a whole new feel.

Premium materials meet elite production process in Surftech’s Vaccum bagged Carbon Construction. The trifecta of surfboard construction Carbon is light, durable and responsive. Wayne Rich decided Carbon construction was was the perfect opportunity to bring a new feel to the SIngularity’s classic modern design.

THE CHECKMATE

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 in the 80’s as contest board for Donald Takayama and Dewey Weber’s visionary resurgance of longboard competition, the Checkmate is 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. The Checkmates traditional features remind us to “Never forget.” 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, drawn-out 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.

BOARD BUILDER HALL OF FAMER, 3X CONSECUTIVE MSA CHAMPION, 3X ICONS OF SURF BOARDROOM SHOW WINNER WAYNE RICH IS LOVED FOR HIS DEDICATION TO THE CRAFT AND DETAILED DESIGNS.

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 have to go back to my mother, Roberta. She was an early water woman who put me under my first wave at three years old. She taught me not to be afraid. She got us all riding 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 so that we could stand up on them. We started riding regular surfboards by the time we were eight or nine. They were big, heavy things back then. It was a man’s sport at the time. It was tough. It was just a tough time in general. Surfing and surfboards were crazy. Redondo Breakwater to Hermosa Pier was my main area back then. That is where I grew up with all my friends.

Along with Bendiksen, Mike Pace, and Bob Behnke, Behnke ran the Bing shop later on; we all used to surf 10th Street a lot in those days. They called it the dime back then. We’d surf from there up to 22nd Street during those early days. It was neat to go up there to 22nd as a kid and watch all the older guys, Dewey, David Nuuhiwa, Donald Takayama, Leroy Grannis, Skipper Fats Harwood, Henry Ford, Ricky Hatch, Darrell Dickey, John Baker, Alfred Laws, Bing Copeland, Phil Becker; all of them were up there. It was quite a time; you could drink on the beach then, so it was pretty wild. Looking back on it, I feel lucky to be influenced by them and that whole crew up there.

Henry Ford claims 22nd Street Hermosa was where hot dog surfing was invented. That’s his claim, and I’d say he’s pretty accurate. It was a neat thing to be around it all.

As we entered the 70s, the scene moved toward The Breakwater and Southside of Hermosa Pier. That’s where I’d watch Mike Pace ripping it up alongside Bobby Warcola and Mike Purpus. There were a lot of great local guys. What a time! Later on, we’d started traveling up to Hollywood by the Sea in Oxnard for some real juice, and it was wild up there, localism at its fullest, and we respected them. In exchange, they allowed us to ride a few waves – sometimes. I ended up living in Oxnard a few years later, but we will get to that in a different story. What else can I say? It was all quite the experience. Let me add a few names to that last list of people who influenced my early surfing: Steve Slickenmeyer, Chrissy Slickenmeyer, Wayne Miyata, and Drew Harrison. I mean, tell you what, there was so much talent around there back then I couldn’t name them all, but it’s fun to look back and try. That old 22nd Street thing was a special time, and it was all captured on film by Leroy Grannis when he wasn’t surfing; it was unbelievable.

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? Let me think, was it at a 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, one time a left morphed out from the middle of the beach with all the power shifting off the canyon. I was riding an 8’4” gun and I got this backside tube ride that was just... I don’t know... Pretty crazy. That was back in the 90s, but there have been a lot of others that were different. That one comes to mind first though. That was one of the highlights of my life. With that crew of guys. They were heavy people who demanded heavy respect because that wave has heavy power. 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 of Hermosa because I was on a bad path with drugs and alcohol. He got me up there to Oxnard. But even up there, I got into trouble and got locked up several times. I was looking at a lot of problems. Oxnard is where I figured it out, though. With the help of a lot of friends, the grace of God, and the 12-step program, I was able to clean my life up. The raw power of Hollywood by the Sea was a great place to immerse myself and feel the humility of what I was going through. Just paddling out there will humble you. At the time, the locals there were good enough to take me in and allow me to be a part of something special. That was the end of true localism, and working my way into that community meant a lot to me. The thing about Oxnard is it’s got so much power, it’s got just such a heavy feeling in the water, and the vibe around there is raw. The sea life around there is pretty radical too. That feeling of power makes it really interesting. It’s jalmost an ominous power in a lot of ways. That power and the people down there helped me understand what was essential and helped guide my life.

Shaper Profile Continued.

Where are you at with your surfing now days?

Surfing, well, it’s a lifesaver. It’s a continual lifesaver and a break from the reality of what the world is doing. It’s a great escape. I feel like I don’t really have anything to prove to anybody else in the water anymore. Surfing is more personal. It is a place I can work on my fitness and push through all the pain from past injuries. I’m fortunate I still get the opportunity to surf, and I am very thankful for it. So really, it’s just trying to hang on by my fingernails and still do things right out in the water. I love surfing. I love watching people ride waves and how much joy it brings everybody to be out there together. I really dig that whole part of it. Don’t get me wrong, I still get intense at times in the water when I’m feeling good, but it’s just all fun. That intensity and the joy of surfing make me feel like a kid. For that reason, I have to keep doing it until I die. There was a time when I didn’t think I would be able to keep surfing. After I got hurt in 2007 and got the titanium plate put in my neck, I didn’t know if I could surf again. Thank God for Jay Herman, Javier Romero, and Kevin English. Those three put me back together. Thanks to them, I’m still allowed/able to get out there and surf. It’s an amazing gift, and because of good friends encouraging me never to stop, I won’t. It is important to me that I can still evaluate and validate a board I shaped with first hand experience. Luckily I am still in a place with my surfing where I can do that. I’m stoked about that. Getting out in the water and getting that first hand evaluation of a surfboard design, fin placement, or fin design is unreplaceable for a surfboard builder. Of course, I can’t push certain limits on the boards these day, but I’ve got people who ride the boards that I work with, and I’m fortunate to have them and their feedback.

How did you get into shaping? Shaping surfboards is an often romanticized profession; if you were to give the cold and honest truth to somebody getting into shaping, what would you say? Well, I rode for Bendiksen, and I rode his boards. I was riding for him at Bing and again after when he had his own Bendicksen label. One day he didn’t want to make me exactly what I wanted. And we kind of bickered over what to do. And he just told me, “You need to start shaping your own boards,” and he really said, “you know, you should do it.” That was kind of a really cool thing that he did for me, because he said, “Now you have your own ideas and your own mind, and you need to explore that stuff on your own, learn how to do it.” So Bendicksen pushed me into it and Mike Geib was right there around that time to help. He really helped me a lot on understanding a lot of theory. So that was how that started. Now, advice to any young person. All I can say is this. Yeah, it is romanticized. If you want to go deep into it, and be real, it’s it’s like anything that’s got 1000s of variables about it. You just have to start and you need to keep at it for a long, long time and be diligent and treat it like a martial art. There’s no way to learn everything. So you’ll spend your whole life and you’ll get as far as you get through how much work you’ve put into it. And that’s it, hopefully you can enjoy it as much as possible. But if you want to learn, you’re going to have to go through a lot of failures to learn how important those failures are so that you can get to the good stuff. So it just takes a lot of patience and a lot of perseverance, but like anything if you want it bad enough and you do the work, you’ll get the results.

Who are your biggest influences?

Let’s see who influenced and helped me along the way with shaping. My biggest mentor would be Dan Bendiksen. Bing Copeland was also a significant influence, but Danny was like a second father to me. So he was my biggest mentor and guiding light regarding everything besides shaping in my life. Mike Geib, aka Redman, Bob Manville was his real name, and he was a really creative guy and a big influence. Phil Becker was the guy who really straightened me out and taught me how to handle the bigger tools.

We all used Rockwells and Skil 100’s back then. You were considered a baby if you didn’t use the Rockwell. The Skil was considered an electric surform. Phil Becker, Mike Eaton, Jeff Weidner, at the time, John Lessing, and Donald Takayama, when he was around back then, was a big influence and always really helpful. These are all incredible people. And then, you know, my San Diego connection was always to Hank Warner through my friends Mike and Bob Behnke, Mike was the manager at Bing, and then he moved down to PB surf shop and managed that shop, and that’s how I got connected to Hank Warner. I used to ride some a Hanky’s boards, so Hank Warner is a huge influence. Sid Madden, Sidney Madden down there was one of the greatest underground shapers of all time. Skip Frye, of course, was always a huge influence. And Billy Castor was probably one of the biggest influences during the 70s, he was just a super creative guy. He was incredibly good at foiled out single fin shapes and wing round pins. John Bradbury up in Santa Barbara and Renny Yater were huge influences and special people to work with. Bob Duncan is another underground guy from up at The Ranch who really influenced me. Bob makes all the edge boards you’ve seen over the years. He had the wilderness label with Greenough back in the day, and he’s still got it and carries it on. He’s a huge influence. Other people in the South Bay I was blessed to work with include: Ray Lucke, Eddie Peiper, Rabbit Kekai, Wayne Miyata, Dewey Weber, Sam Harwood, Lance Carson, Dale Velzy, Jeff Wiedner, John Lessing, Zen Del Rio, Tom Stranton, Jack Meyer, Don Kadawaki, Mike Collins, Chris Slickenmeyer, Pat Ryan, Steve Mangaiglai and Bobby Jenson. Moving north I worked hand in hand with Renny Yater, John Bradbury, Clyde Beatty Jr, Max McDonald, Matt Moore, “Army” Michael Armstrong, Roger Hinds, Butch Towers, Steve Huerta, and Kevin McClelland. In San Diego I worked hand in hand with Stu Kenson, Joel Tudor, Joe Roper and Joe Blair. Many of these names I just listed I still work with today and I honor, appreciate, and respect them all at the highest levels.

Who do you make most of your boards for?

Who do I make boards for? Great question. I make boards for everybody from beginners to recreational people, all the way up to the highest level of local surfers, and even all the way up to people like Joel Tudor, Devin Howard, and Cole Robbins(Ranked #5 on the WSL). Just great local surfers for the most part that’s who I make most my boards for.

How and why did you get involved with Surftech?

I’ve been trying to work with Surftech for over 21 years. It’s only now that we’ve finally been able to put something together as I was working with some other people. But as timing would have it, I was fortunate enough to be approached by Surftech a couple of years ago, about the idea of doing some things, and I’m super excited about it. And so now after 21 years, I finally get to work with some great people and make some boards that reach out globally. I’ll always still make some of my own stuff by hand. I’ll always make polyester boards my way, but I’m just super stoked to be allowed in the group of Surftech builders.

Is it the surfer, the board or the wave?

Is it the surfer, the board or the wave? Oh I like this one? Yeah, without all three, you have nothing in my opinion. So, my answer to that is that you need to have all three to have the package. But you can’t become the surfer if you don’t have the board, you can’t become the surfer if you don’t have the wave, and there won’t be a surfer if there isn’t a wave to begin with.

“THE

WILDCARD 3

SINGLE FIN/CRESCENT TAIL

Turn a losing hand into a winning hand 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 consecutive Malibu Club contests, including a full template with wide nose and wide crescent tail. The crescent tail, initially hand drawn 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. The board can be broken down into three planes. One in the front for noseridng, one in the middle for trim , and the last plane newar the tail for turing. The Wildcard features a rolled bottom, that mellows in the back third of the board. The rolled bottom 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. The Wildcard is a true tip to tail classic style longboard that allows for a traditional approach to wave riding.

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.

“ESCAPE THE ROTATING DOOR OF NORMALITY”

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’.

Whether you’re a primitivist á la Gauguin or a minimalist like Mies Van der Rohe we know you believe the essence of a thing is it’s true value and that kitsch accoutrement is for the birds. You know that real creative expression happens on the wave and what you need is great design and purist performance.

Bienvenu à Primitek.

By keeping the construction simple we’ve found our boards built in Primatek perform as an extension of surfers’ instincts. Intuitively connecting your imagination and ability in a creative collision of a primal past and an ethereal future, Primitek is the blank slate and firm foundation for you to build your masterpiece.

DRIB

3-FIN OPTION/ DIAMOND TAIL

Sunshine Coast’s son KAI HING’s step-down model is as fast, free, and fun as they come, so fittingly we’ve called it ‘DRIB’ (BIRD backwards).

Now it bears all the features you want in your all-out shorty but packed into a shorter/ wider outline designed to be ridden min. 2” shorter than what was once your conventional shortboard.

An accented forward-placed wide point and lower entry rocker means you’re in and on your feet early with instant speed and acceleration. This curvy and shorter outline also positions beautifully in steeper faces and the tub, which longer boards can sometimes feel more difficult to manoeuvre.

Subtle vee combined with softer bottom rails in the entry also enables a more forgiving approach to steeper sections and helps initiate smoother transitions between rails. From there, the bottom shape is a combination of subtle single to double concave that results in a stable yet super responsive board that loves to be pushed hard. This all draws into a tighter round tail with slight lift in the exit rocker that allows explosive release and incredible directional control.

Where this shape is truly unique is its range; it’s incredibly fun on mid to head-high days, but she’s a darn guided missile in juicier conditions, which makes this model the ultimate travel companion and versatile daily driver that suits almost all surfers, in almost all conditions.

CHRIS CHONG & DAN WATKINS

THE AUSTRALIAN DUO BEHIND THE IRREVERENT SURFBOARD BRAND/ FAMILY OF CREATIVE ENTHUSIASTS TALK SURF.

Who are you, where are you located?

Chris Chong and Dave Howell of MISFIT SHAPES. We are based between the Northern Beaches of Sydney and the Northern Rivers of NSW.

What makes Misfit unique in the world of surf brand normalcy?

Let us refer you to our company mantra shall we - “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.”

How did you guys decide to partner up?

The time just felt right... we’d been concepting a greater release of the brand for a few years, we believed there was a gap in the market for what we were hoping to do, so in late 2009 we had to take the leap of faith and go all in..

How have you put your team together?

It’s all relationship based. We can honestly say we’ve never signed or aligned with anyone we didn’t know, support or believe in. This is a big family, so we are protective of the dynamic and culture within the fold.

While of course you are interested in making great surfboards, it seems like as a company, you have a lot of other interests? Art, Fashion, etc.

Yeah, the core of this biz is surfboards, that will never change, but our interests, and subsequently what we produce is far greater. We love art; from high design to wild lo-fi graphics, and we believe that surfboards, clothing should be an expression of one’s creative interests, not just a vessel to get tubbed on or a tee to cover your nips..

What is the best thing that has come out starting Misfit for you to personally?

The people. We love the products we make, you won’t anyone more passionate about what they produce, but the people that we have met, be it from our loyal customers that order our boards, to the media, retailers, industry we are a part of. Our lives are far richer as a result of the relationships we have formed along the way.

Do you think surfboards will make you rich? Or are you already rich because you spend everyday working in an industry you love?

I don’t think you go into the surfboard biz to become rich, you do it because you have a passion for board building. For me, being a shaper is about the challenge to find the perfect balance between speed and maneuverability, performance and fun, and the millions variables that surfboard design has in it. If that makes you rich along the way, then power to you, we just want to stay passionate, excited and satisfied with what we do...

If you could put anything on the bottom of a surfboard what would it be?

Are we referring to fin configuration, or concave, or artwork? If fins; we are still loving twins, but all setups have their day, if concave and curve; then it’s designing the perfect balance, if it’s art; then something big, bold and irreverent!

What’s next for surfboards and surfing?

It appears that the movement of artificial waves is growing, and although that can feel a touch “artificial” or impure, it is exciting because there is an element of design that does want to work with more controlled variables. Testing and development can become a more efficient process when you’re surfing the same wave over and over again. The differences in the water (salt vs chlorine) and the wave itself, is also an exciting space for development of new shapes and constructions.

Is it the surfer, the board or the wave?

Yeah, good question... I want to give you some philosophical answer about our own expectations and perspective on finding enjoyment in surfing, but it’s simply about all three elements right... I’m yet to see anyone surf without a board or waves, but boards and waves dont ride themselves. I will say this, good boards, or the right board for the conditions is king, but a perfect wave can be ridden on almost anything, so maybe it is about the individual after all?! Ha, who knows, I’ve got myself confused now...

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.

If you believe the essence of a thing is it’s true value, that kitsch accoutrement is for the birds, and that real creative expression happens on the wave what you need is great design and purist performance. Tou need Primitek.

BONE FISH

5-FIN QUAD OR TRI OPTION/ DIAMOND TAIL

The Bonefish is the fastest fish in the ocean that loves shallow waters.. The BONE FISH was designed to be that hyper-reactive and speedy design that fits in tight pockets and excels in punchy shorebreaks or reef breaks.

As the next step in the evolution of the fish, our goal with the BONEFISH was to harness the curves of the proven concept and create a more aggressive fish inspired performance driven shape for when you want to have that shortboard feel in a smaller fish-like package.

Wave Range: Proven in hollowed out Newport, spitting Sandy Beach, Bali type barreling sections, and Waco Wave pool’s tight pockets. If the wave has a bowl the BONEFISH will light it up.

Fin Configuration: 5 fin/Tight cluster. A carefully thought out fin position to harness every aspect of the boards abilities.

Suggested Fins: Primary/(NVS) Sequencer Quads, Secondary/ (NVS) Ahi Twin+trailer., Auxilary/(NVS)Hook Thrusters

Target Sizing: In between fish and standard shortboard.

BIG BOY STING

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.

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 IT DOES HOW IT FEELS

What do you consider to be the most important characteristic of your father’s designs? Why?

There are so many ‘attributes” that make an AIPA and AIPA...hands down the most signature of them all is the STING...the STING has it’s own life force...it’s our DNA....more than a design element...it is a characteristic... it brings charisma..IDENTITY..to a board design. When you see a board model with a STING , you KNOW it’s an AIPA. How many boards can you identify like that?

I’m sure it is one of the heavy parts of carrying on your father’s shaping lineage but what parts of Ben’s design or board building process are you changing to fit your own style?

I would have to say that continuing to be what my dad called “core” , which to him was what was happening now...or what was needed as a change to make surfing progress.

Outlines, rails, bottom contours...just like surfing these elements are always in need of constant refinement to allow the surfer to take their SURFING to another level.

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

built is almost more impressive. Can you talk about that community and what /who you are working with as far as future surfers go?

My dad had who considered his STINGMEN back in the day..Larry Bertlemann, Markl Liddell, Buttons Kaluhiokalani, Dane Kealoha..these guys were symbiotic to my dads shaping..together they were a catalyst for the most explosive shift in surfing ever..a shift whose magnitude we will probably never see again..For me I’ve had to learn not to look and 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 what my father experienced with his guys…

But future surfers..thats the groms...There is this brother / sister duo that I make boards for that will be standouts for sure! And thats what this journey is about...the next move

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

It’s the intention..The great Duke Kahanamoku said “ the best surfer is the one who is having the most fun”......sooooo paddle out with intention.. The intention to be stoked. Shaper

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.

ROGER HINDS Shaper Profile.

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

How many boards have you shaped?

I have shaped & glassed over 33,000 surfboards to date.

What type of people come to you asking to have a surfboard made?

It’s kind of all over the place, I make everything from a 5’6” shortboard to a 12’ glider to a board to surf outer reefs on. The people who come to me want a custom surfboard made just for them & the waves they ride.

What keeps you motivated to keep designing and building surfboards?

Tomorrow I am going to build a better surfboard than today. I’m never static, I’m always looking forward, looking to build a better constructed, riding surfboard.

Where do you mostly surf? Where is your favorite place to surf?

I mostly surf in Huntington or San Clemente. My favorite place by far is Sunset Beach Hawaii.

What do you find appealing about working with Surftech?

I can only build 100 boards per year by myself from start to finish. I’m a big fan of EPS/epoxy constructed surfboards. In my opinion, Surftech has the highest quality in that type of construction so it was easy to partner with them so more people could get my EPS surfboards worldwide with quality construction.

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 those in the know who will gravitate to better designs. This is what it will take to move to the next level in one’s surfing evolution.

Who are some of the board builders who inspired you or that you currently look up to?

Don Koplien & Kent Smith, early Lighting Bolt guys, because they did everything from start to finish of the highest quality with no ego. I still rely on Kent Smith’s advice 50 years later. I look up to Matt & Margaret Calvani at Bing Surfboards because their quality stands alone & they run a very successful business in conjunction with Bing Copeland who I am a big fan of. Randy Rarick because he has been a great mentor of mine for a lifetime & has been in the surf industry since the beginning & always gives me sound advice.

I s it the surfer, the board, or the wave? All are equal in my eyes, also using my NVS fins is the 4th component. The fins come with my templates & in my opinion, they are the best fins on the market & come with every one of my Surftech models. All 4 of these flow together to become one.

“ATTENTION TO DETAIL AND IMPECCABLE QUALITY”

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.

“ATTENTION TO DETAIL AND IMPECCABLE QUALITY”

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.
