FOR SALE ~ 6'2" Round Pin Quad

£199

6'2 x 19 1/2" x 2 1/2"

Relaxed rocker, single to double concave with sight vee out the tail.

Comes with Future fins (Front ~ VII F4 / Rear ~ 375 Pivots)

This boards a great all-rounder, fast and responsive with the tail and fins giving plenty of hold and pivot when the waves get steeper. She's in good condition only having some slight cosmetic marks and very light pressure dings.

If you are interested she's in the boardroom at Freeriders Surf Shop (The Moor, Falmouth, Cornwall, TR11 3PN). Drop me a line if you have any questions.

Tri-Plane Hull (TPH) Stubby

Here’s a new shape I’ve been working on for a while, and after some intensive research and head scratching I think I’m finally there.

This is my take on a user-friendly hull and falls somewhere between an egg and a hull. While it holds many attributes of a hull such as, full plane shape, a hint of S deck, foiled out tail and rolled hull entry, the bottom contours then flow into a tri-plane hull. The tri-plane is easier to surf than deeply rolled displacement hull as it gives flatter planning surfaces to drive off while also providing lift between the front foot and fins. I will be combining these design principles with a modern rail profile with tucked edge to hopefully give a more forgiving hull riding experience.

I can’t wait to start shaping this one, lots curves all over the joint!

Magic Carpet for Nick

Dimensions ~ 6'8" x 21 3/4" x 2 5/8"

Here’s one that’s built for fun! Relaxed rocker with a full outline for easy wave catching, and a rounded pintail to give it a move hold in steeper surf. Belly from front to back, running slightly flatter through the fin cluster. Soft down rails through the back 3/4 of the board, flowing into 50/50 in the nose.

Fatty Thruster for Rich

Dimensions ~ 6'4" x 20 1/2" x 2 3/4"

Relaxed nose and tail rocket, full bodied plan shape with a ghost hip breaking after trailing edge of front fins. Bottom flows from flat under chest to single concave under front and spiral vee between fins. Hard edge up to 16”.

This one’s come out of a new 6’5 R blank (Rusty’s new one from US Blanks), which was ideal for the job as it carries more thickness and width than a regular shortboard blank and has a relaxed rocker.

REthink

After being blown away by the performance of my latest asymmetrical board, I’m eager to take it further and see how the same design principals can applied to other boards. This is a rethink of a template I made a while back, but as yet have not had time to shape. I terms of how the curve brakes after the trailing edge of the front is much the same as my last asym. However, on this one I’ve kept the tail block flat until the centre line so as to not reduce the backhand rail length too much it such a stubbie board. I’ve yet to decide on fins, but I will most likely go for a raked keel on the toe-side and quad on the heal.

4th Gear Flyer Tracker Roundtail

Here’s my new traveling buddy and latest addition to the ever-expanding WillPowered. I got switched onto these surf mats after see George Greenough ripping it up in Crystal Voyager, ever since I’ve been eager to give one a try and a recently booking backpacking trip to Sri Lanka seems just the excuse that I’ve been waiting for. The great thing about surf mats is you can roles them up and stick them into your backpack with a pair of fins and away you go!

With no real knowledge or experience with these things I decided to got straight to the top and contacted Paul Gross at 4^th Gear Flyers. Paul has been designing, building and riding nylon 4th Gear Flyers with Greenough as test pilot since 1984, so what better man to ask. He replied with everything you could ever want to know as about surf mat riding and maintenance and gave me some much needed guidance on which mat was right for me. Big thanks to Paul!
