SURFBOARD MODELS
Connecting you to the process of designing your own surfboard and in a way that gives you more respect and curiosity for the materials used and the process itself!
The Fly Fish
— Size 5’4 to 9’0”
The Fly Fish pays homage to the original innovators in this particular
design being Steve Lis closely followed by Skip Frye.
Wide curvatious outline, flat deck with a down rail and wide swallow
shaped tail this board is a revelation.
Created as an alternative to the single fins ridden during early to
mid 1970’s this shape opened doors to full speed trim (the fastest
board ever made in my opinion) and loose acceleration through your
turns. However this shape also works in incredibly hollow and large
wave conditions. A fantastic surfboard option for those not wanting to
ride a longboard or not wanting to struggle catching waves on a
standard shortboard.
The fish is definitely the most versatile surf craft ever made.
This board is designed for waves from 1 foot through to 12 feet
Noserider
I doesn't mater if your just learning to ride a longboard or if you can hang ten forever, getting to the nose of the board is the pinacle of longboard riding.
The Noserider model is designed with the soul purpose of you becoming more adept at spending time on the tip of the board.
A generous concave under the nose of the board combined with a beveled rail edge sees this board suck onto the waves face in the steepest of sections. This hold allows incredible balance and hold while balancing on the nose of the board.
The roll bottom in this board allows for smooth casual turns and the tail lift also benefits the levitation while noseriding.
If you are looking for a beautiful board designed to last and surf incredibly look no further than the 'Noserider' model.
FIN SETUP: The pendulum 10.75' fin is recommended for this board model.
72 Evolution
There have now been many evolutionary periods in surfing. This early to mid 1970’s period produced a-lot of very different boards compared to what had been made previously. Experimental times there is no doubt!
Music at this time was going through its Psychedelic experimentation phase with Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, Jefferson Airplane and many others pushing the musical boundaries. Surfing was also all about change and growth and understanding theory of water displacement and why. Ted Spencer, My father Nat, Bob Mctavish, George Greenough, Russel Hughes etc… were all at the forefront of an amazing growth period in surfboard design development. I am very honoured to have my fathers blessing in creating a model of board similar to what was being ridden during this amazing period of surf history.
The “Nat Young 72′ Evolution” Is a mid-length single fin (with optional side fins if required) with its wide point forward and a soft edge through the tail. A subtle vee bottom shape and rounded nose this board is not for everyone. The 72′ is a classic board that turns like a very small single-fin longboard! Your feet need to sit a little farther forward than normal when turning the board and the “Nat 72 Evolution” is the closest thing you will find to feeling your way across a waves canvas like they did in the early to mid 1970’s period. Personally I love the feel of these boards, my motto has always been that variety is the spice of a surfing life, so if you want something that is a ton of fun, a little bit different and a board that will take some dedication to master, try my Dads replica from this early 70’s period.

FIN SETUP: Single fin box or single fin box plus sides
BOARD FINISH: Matt
SEAHAWK
— 5’4” to 7’8”
The Seahawk is a modern take on a 1970’s fish.
Medium rocker overall with a nice round forgiving rail and subtle vee
bottom make this board easy to understand and surf. The added curve,
narrower nose outline and multiple fin configurations make this a
fantastic alternative to a traditional fish shape.
Tight and smooth turns without any loss of momentum due to the shape
and volume distribution. This board will work in a huge variety of
conditions from 1 to 8 feet.
The Seahawk has a five fin configuration giving this board a multitude
of fin set up options be it tri fin, quad fin or twin plus small
stabilizer
Wombat Mk11
— Size 5’4” to 8’0”
The Wombat Mk11 is the predecessor to the original best selling Wombat model.
The new incarnation has all the same wave catching ability combined
with maneuverability, however more curve and rocker has been added for
even tighter turning and vertical maneuvers. A narrower nose and tail
give the board a less bulky feel yet still keeping all the original
board qualities only better.
The Wombat Mk11 works in a wide variety of wave conditions ranging
from 1- 6 foot regardless of weather the waves are full and slow or
hollow or fast the Wombat Mk11 works incredibly.
The Wombat Mk11can be ridden as either a 2 +1 fin setup or as a quad
depending on your preference. Many surfers like the quad fin in bigger
hollower waves. The fin box plus quad set allows you to surf the
board with either desired fin configuration
The Boo
Size 6’6” to 8’6”
The Boo is my daughters nickname and definitely the greatest thing I
have ever created. This board goes incredibly and is very special so
it has been given the name “The Boo”.
There are different names for this style of shape, some call it a
midlength others an egg but for me it has to be called a funboard!
Nice medium entry rocker and a good amount of foam makes this board a
wave catching machine! Medium concave under your chest gives this
board speed and lift when planning. Subtle vee through the tail has
the board driving and flowing through its turns. Round and forgiving
rails. This board suits surfers from beginner to advance in waves from
1 to ten feet high. If you are after a board that catches waves easily
and can carve and arc turns with speed and flow, look no further than
“The Boo”
The 8.25” centre fin and small sides fins makes for the perfect
combination for this board.
The Pendulum
— 9’0” to 10’6”
The Pendulum is by far the most versatile and best selling longboard
in the range.
With soft forgiving rails, curves and foam distribution.
The wide nose and tail give both stability and ease through turns and noserides.
Nose concave and a vee bottom shape give you a perfect blend for a
traditional log shape.
This board performs best in waves 6 inches high up until shoulder high in size.
The 10.75” longboard fin has been specifically designed for this model
board. With medium rake, flex and width in this fin you get immense
drive and hold when needed.
Peace Train
— Size 9’0” to 11’2”
With a fantastic overall outline, bottom curve and rail shape the
“Peace Train”is a truly incredible allrounder.
The wide roundtail, wide point forward and pinched yet forgiving rail
make this board the perfect balance for both turning and riding the
nose.
With concave under the nose for lift and a nice medium vee shape
through the remainder of the board the “Peace Train” works in a large
variety of conditions from ankle high through to slightly overhead
surf. My favourite longboard in the quiver by far.
Complementing the shape you can’t go past the “Kamehameha” 11 inch single fin.
