Fins

Does each shape have its special fins?

Our boards don’t come with fins. Such as shapes, fins must be chosen in terms of the size and style of the surfer. We have in store a wide choice of fins to satisfy everybody’s needs.

All the models in our range can be equipped with a four fin configuration. For more details check the section fin system.

We offer the possibility of a convert configuration on our entire range, to be able to switch from three fins to four on the same board. For more details check the section fin system.

Which fin system?

Shape

Can we choose each detail on our board or are they standard models?

Each model has its fundamental characteristics, generally the rocker, the concave and the proportions don’t change. On the other hand, length, width, thickness and the profile of the rails can be adapted to each surfer. We have created a “size chart” make it easy to spot the proportions of each shape.

Can you really do custom made boards with preshapes done on a machine?

We work with a software that has been created to draw boards, therefore we have the possibility to create and change each drawing. This allows us to study and change each detail to make custom made boards without any constraint. Rocker, outline, thickness, rail profile, concave… each aspect of the board is studied and optimized. To complete our drawing software, we have a machine that is shaping the entire board, rail profile and concave included. Thanks to that we can, at the same time, offer a tailored shape and keep great consistency in the production.

Can we ask for boards with channels?

We can realize channels on most of our shapes, with a price supplement.

Is it possible to order a model that isn't in the current range?

We keep all the old models in our records, therefore it is possible to order a shape that isn’t in the current range.

I have an old RT board that I love: is it possible to order the same one?

We keep the shape sheets of every board we build: by giving us the serial number of the old board, we can replicate the same shape.

Do you design retro boards? Longboards?

We do not realize longboards or retro boards. We are very demanding regarding our shapes, and we prefer to focus ourselves exclusively to the conception and the production of a complete range of shortboards.

 

Construction

Can we ask for different types of constructions, lighter or more solid boards?

We offer a wide choice of construction materials and possibilities to combine them as you wish. See the technology section for more informations.

Why have some boards got black bands over the tail?

The black bands over the tail are generally carbon reinforcements. The carbon reinforcements are very effective for surfers who push hard on the tail. We can include them in all the boards of our range. See the technology section for further informations.

We can make the entire range of our boards in EPS/Epoxy. Check the technology section for more informations on the different options.
