CUTTING EDGE PROFESSIONAL SHAPES - The Inspiration Series and High Performance Lightweights

THE INSPIRATION SERIES

The Inspiration Series is a series that delivers an exact replica of what Murray Bourton's top team rider Troy Brooks is riding at this very point in time. The team riders have directed these models and they are passing this on to those who are truly inspired by what they are doing on the face of a wave.

The range will cover sizes from 5'11 to 6'1 which really aims at younger surfers who are more influenced by the pros and what they are riding. For more information about The Inspiration Series Click here

Troy Brooks Model - Bottom Tail

Model: Brooko Round Tail Quad

Troy Brooks DecalAT LAST... a quad that does what a pro surfer wants. It has been a long time coming, for me as a designer at least! Perhaps naively I thought the round tail would be too loose as a quad and would lack reach and drive but in fact I was underestimating what guys at this level can do with a design like this. I have been building thrusters for guys at this level forever but I was mindful not to upset their status quo i.e. experimenting with far left designs can fuck with the sub conscious reflexes already finely tuned to the three fin attack.

Troy Brooks Model - Bottom Tail

Model: Inspired by Troy Brooks

Troy Brooks Decal Since Luke Munro has been influenced by Troy Brook's boards of late, the designs have evolved to become very similar. This design is a stretch of Luke Munro's except for a little later flip in the nose . The rail thickness is a bee’s dick thinner but the bottom shape is identical. All the decks on the Inspiration Series boards are slightly veed which runs into a box shoulder rather than a rolled deck, this enables you to have a small box rail but not too much more foam under the palm. This board would suit those from 70 to 75kgs who want plenty of freedom on the face and speed under the front foot.

THE HIGH PERFORMANCE LIGHTWEIGHTS
HPL 4ply

Introducing the HPL which is exactly the same glass job and stringer combo as the Inspiration Series but the designs come in the longer lengths, and are a mixture of the high performance tricks in the Inspirations. For bigger guys around 80 kilos plus who want to ride the latest and the lightest within reason the HPL is the way to go.

 

HPL - Deck

Model: HPL

Basically these designs have hips and deeper concaves, they are squash tails with small boxy rails and slightly veed decks. The boxy rail allows the thickness in the centre to be kept to a minimum so if they seem thin numerically they are certainly not in the rail.

I have drawn the line at 6'6 coz I reckon the concept gets lost any longer than that.

Customs in this model are welcome as I have only covered the common dimension for a common customer weight.
