Eco-surfboards





AO Twin Keel



The ultimate friction-free fin surfboard. The AO Keel's philosophy is fundamental to the principals of efficiency and flow, putting your relationship to the water as close as possible.  Increased speed evokes the idea of minimalism, cutting away what you don't need. This surf craft allows you to explore new surfaces, and connect different energy points, essentially making every wave, a good wave. 

Cut-away templating and the flex of ply minimizes the drag while secret inside foils decrease cavitation and increase the effective holding surfacing of such a small fin --a bunch of technical drivel, hidden in beautiful grains..



QUAD-DISH
Speed, control and looseness meet in equilibrium in a low volume, non-retro hull. A full outline is countered with a thin foil and flat deck for ultra-responsive situations. Features a slight double and single concave bottom and a fluted wing rail-bite. This board flies over flat water and seems to always be a step ahead –If you like quads, this is a great small wave board.












Spacecake Single Fin

  
Old-school outline meets futuristic contouring. Forward volume and relaxed tail rocker, thinned with spiral concave vee, brings opportunities of deep tube-riding. Enhancing glide and stability is a fluted wing; it combines with the flex fin for responsive, and effortless control. Classic paddle and trimming with short board imagination. The Spacecake make the best of it always, and is reliable underneath double-overhead curls. We make them upwards of 9' as rhino chasers. 


Spacecake Twinny

The most universal board for worldly surfers. Moveable fin sets of two and  three, foiled in bamboo, combined with some other elements of the Spacecake allows you to improvise.  Get creative on a traveler's budget...


JM-SVT SNUB-MARINE 




The JM-SVT is a utility shortboard evolved from the good old Simon Anderson (not to be mistaken with increasingly retro "pro widgets"  flooding in from the overseas). Low rocker and increased tail flex add new dimensions of performance to your shortboard game. Easy single concave between feet, low tail, curvy outline and a touch of vee off the back makes three-finning less of a drag. Cut-away squash tail show here.  By the way, the nose of this board is pointless --so is a pointy nose on a surfboard...




Koi


The Koi was our first grovel, short-board alternative developed in the late 90's, now a popular and quintessential type of shape for California quivers. It has evolved over the years into a "most of the time" board, skating through slop and remaining stable and reliable in good, overhead waves. If you can't get off the thrusters, this is a good one. Single concave with some vee in the tail- no frills- it just works. Order 4" shorter that your normal shorty, of course, it come as a quad too.  Round, squash, swallow, a-sym tails available.

JM-Gun

For double-overhead plus conditions. Adequate front-end rocker leads into a soft single concave through the middle and vee off the tail. Added volume is carried throughout for easy entry. The tail is pulled to a point with a slight break in the rail line. All of these elements bring a few words to mind: drive, maneuverability, and stable tube-riding. A confidence-builder when the conditions get interesting. Available from 6'10" on up to rhino chasers with one, three or four fins. 

Fuselage Single 


This is called the fuselage because it glides effortlessly. It comes as a single fin or with side bites with low rocker, and spiral-concave mojo. Thin, elliptical rails and a curvy outline helps you make "style" out of miscalculation. Order it up to 8'0 as a trimmer, or under 6'0" as a flying saucer. All good up to double-overhead.


                                Module- universal  1.3.4 fin 
One of the simplest, most universal shapes with all kind of opportunities. The module is an imaginative can-do-- it will take you a while to explore the possibilities and what all that might be. One day you might be feelin quad, another day, single...and so on-- with this one you don't give a damn. Act on it. Mess around with the fin combos --you'll get a good education about hydro-sliding... this is a SpaceKoiGliderCake....or a montage..

  1. i want all of your boards (except for the gun)--- but especially the quad-fish. They look like works of art.

  3. Do you have any pictures of 9' or longer boards. I would like to see your log/noserider shapes.

  4. How different would your Module (as a single-fin) be versus your Space Cake in terms of ride and performance? Both look great btw

  5. How much would the fuselage cost and does it work best in winter
