FORD ARCHBOLD
Ford Archbold’s model for small waves. Extra paddle power and glide, yet the ability to lay it down and throw it around. It features a rolled vee through the nose, running into a deep single running right out the tail and a flat deck with bevelled rails. This board is really drivey and loves been put on rail, yet with the flyer in front of the fins it will still pivot nice and tight when needed. Order 6 inches shorter than you are tall, 1 1/8 wider, and 1/8 thicker than your standard shortboard.
This is the Ford Archbold’s signature model. Ford likes to ride his boards short, fat and a little different from everyone elses board. It features a flat deck with a low beveled rail and beak nose, keeping it really stable and buoyant, yet allowing you to still bury the rails. Combine this with a deep single concave for speed and drive and a flyer behind the side fins for release. Ride this 5 inches shorter, 1 inch wider and same thickness as your standard shortboard.
Its what it looks like. Weird and fun! This is such an enjoyable board for tiny 1ft waves, up to 3ft. If its small this thing will get you up and flying faster than any other board in your quiver.
The latest edition to the Doinker series…the Egg. It looks similar, but functions quite differently. It maintains the same fun, traditional nose outline of the OG Doinker, yet blends into a nice n’ sleek rounded pin. The Egg features a rolled vee through the entry, into double concave through the fins. It also comes available in either 3,4 or 5 fin setups. Its super-smooth, sleek, fast and very, very versatile. Surfs well in waist high slop, to good overhead barrels. Our matte, all-black, resin tinted ‘OBSIDIAN’ colourway for 2015, has everyone in a frenzy.

This is a new take on the Doinker. We have pulled the nose and tail in (also adding flip to the nose) and giving you the option of a 5 fin setup. This is for the guy that wants to rip apart tiny wave conditions. It features a single to deep double concave, with concave vee through the tail combined with a crazy looking diamond/cresent tail which shortens the rail line, but gives bite at the same time.
This Fangbanger is for the guy that wants something different, yet explosive. Its personality really shines from the crazy-looking, wide chop swallow tail which is complimented by flutes on the rails, to keep things sensitive. The bottom consists of a single to double to vee bottom running right out the tail, which allows for amazing rail to rail transition (ie. smooth carves). This model has the same flat deck with low beveled rails as the Synthetic Sally; which gives it a lively yet stable feeling, without compromising performance.
The mid length board. This is the brother of the Sweet Leaf. We have pushed the wide point forward, giving it plenty of foam under the chest for paddle power and stability, also creating drive and flow with the outline tapering in towards the tail. The Black Moon provides a smooth ride and performs great on rail. Its best in waves from knee to just overhead high. Ride 3-4 inches shorter, same thickness and 1/2- 3/4 of an inch wider than your shortboard.
A new take on the popular Bangers And Mash. This is a performance shortboard designed for very poor to average conditions and is perfect for the guy that only wants to ride shortboards (yet needs that groveller in his quiver). It’s really playful with the curvy outline, combined with a fast low rocker and boxy rails keeping it higher in the water through turns. This gem is a great, every day summer board, especially for places like California where volume is highly important. The big difference in this model over the older ‘Bangers’ is the single to double concave into vee - behind the back fin - which adds drive and rail to rail flow combined with a wider, rounded square tail. Order 3 inches shorter than you are tall, 1/2 wider and same thickness as your standard shortboard.

For 2015 we’ve made some changes to The Norts. Squashed it down, widened the nose a touch and kept the tail pulled in. The concept of this board is to perform in tight, critical parts of the wave and to be ridden 1 inch shorter than you are tall. It still maintains a nice smooth outline and medium rocker, combined with soft medium rails and a single concave. This board will surf anything from 2-6ft, its very versatile and easy to ride. Order 1 inch shorter than you are tall, 1/4 wider and 1/16 thicker than your standard shortboard. If you like the Little Rip Stick then you will love this for slightly hollower, better waves - where riding the barrel (and surfing tight in the pocket) is required.
This is our best selling shortboard. For what was our step down shortboard a few years ago, this has now become our all rounder. Suited perfectly for beach breaks from 2-5ft, it is a perfect step down from the Pandamonium model, with a little added nose and tail width. Ride 1 inch shorter than you are tall, 1/4 wider and 1/16 thicker than your standard shortboard. If you enjoy this board, then also give The Norts model (for hollower waves) or the Pandamonium (for slightly bigger, punchier waves) a whirl.
The B2 model is one of the original PANDA curves that we began with. A high performance shortboard best suited to punchy, hollow waves - due to the extended bottom curve and the deep single concave running throughout. It surfs tight in the pocket and releases beautifully off the lip. This is a team favourite for taking to strange, exotic, far-out lands such as Indonesia and Uranus, or when the surf is just ‘fiiiiiiiiiring’ at your local beachie.
This is our new generation all-round high performance shortboard. It has a slightly wider nose and tail than our previous shortboard designs a few years ago and can be ridden 1 inch shorter and 1/8 wider if desirable. It’s a full curve shortboard making it suitable for punchier waves, yet with the extra planing surface - in the nose and tail - this board does have the ability to get through the fat sections. It should be ridden in waves shoulder high and above. Featuring a deep single to double concave for speed and control in hollow waves and is generally ridden in a squash tail with a slight hip.
The patented HEX+ technology uses a multiple of design and engineering principles that challenge the traditional construction method of a surfboard core. Inspired by the unique strength and flex properties of both geodesic and honeycomb structures, it became apparent that these design principles could create a strong, lightweight, high performance core with multiple load and release outcomes. THE HEX+ BIOFUSION process creates a closed cell, hi-density foam honeycomb construction that fuses the modular core as one. This honeycomb network spreads the load under force, while the EPS HEX+ modules of varying density (weight) provide a lightweight core that dictates the performance outcome and it’s reciprocal flex and release properties.
