Aftermath Surfboards

2012 models are arriving PS-M2 (LTR)

2011-12-22T16:30:00.000-08:00

The PS-M2 line has turned out to be one of the go to models in the Aftermath line up of HPSB.Being extremely versatile this board has become a firm favorite.After it's original launch refinements as well as variations of this board were tested in various locations around the globe and now with 2012 approaching fast the all new PS-M2(LTR)will be on offer.Look for it in the upcoming new model product launch.Main features include fuller chest area for greater ease of paddling as well as lowered tail rocker to increase glide surface to carry your speed through the flatter sections of softer waves.

New models

2011-12-14T17:31:00.001-08:00

The all new "Wizzard Slipper" is a continuation of the "Sorcerers Apprentice",which really turned out a great seller this past summer.By the rider feedback and personal testing this board has definately proven fun.Keeping similar characteristics of the Sorcerers Apprentice,but narrowing up the nose for more directional performance and adding a touch more forward rocker with a slightly narrower hipped rounded Squash tail outline and by flattening out the deck with a fuller rail volume allows for this board to be ridden a bit thinner than your standard high performance shorty.A forward concave running into a deep double spiral concave gives this little Gem some major speed and drive.

Cool article with KK.

Raptor Pin

2011-05-27T14:04:00.001-07:00

After a recent trip down to Bali..i had decided to make a few new boards to test out.Fortunately i had stumbled upon the chance to to go..unlike past occasions where i'm always stuck in the shaping bay and making boards for everyone going on some exotic surf trip.

Well seeing as you can only travel with a limited number of boards now..i had made the "Raptor" a few days prior to leaving..along with a few other new test models.Paddling out on this board..well let's just say..you know when a board just feels right.Needless to say..2 weeks in Bali was just perfect.I surfed my brains out and definately learned a few traits from each new model.The Raptor surpassed every expectation i had,especially after upgrading to a slightly larger fin combo to accomodate the extra width across the tail area.Definately a good all round travel board as it was intended to be.It handled the small days to a couple of feet overhead..no problem.

This is one board that will always be in my travel quiver from now on...speaking of travel..Sumatra is sounding mighty fine ..and i can definately see that in the not too distant months from now.

Live to surf..and surf to live..but most of all..be respectful..and "Ride it like you just stole your last wave"!!!

"Blacktips"

2011-05-27T13:56:00.001-07:00

The Blacktip fanbase has been steadily growing to become one of the most sought after hybrids in the Aftermath lineup.The fun factor that this board generates is measured with endless smiles after every wave.

New models arriving

2011-04-19T09:01:00.000-07:00

New models are arriving weekly and the all new PS-M2 has been re-defined and has been gaining momentum as the go to board to have in your everyday quiver.Only slight modifications have been made,but the positive feel and response have been excellent.Slightly adjusted entry rocker with a touch more nose volume and a subtle change to the single concave depth has resulted in a HPSB that is becoming a firm favorite of pro's and customers alike.

The all new W-RT "Raptor" pin has been on the design floor for quite a while and i feel all the kinks have been ironed out on this one,making for one great all around travel board.With the increasing costs the airlines are placing on us for surfboards...we are no longer afforded the luxury of taking 4-5 brds on a trip.This board will for the most die hard surf traveller..cover all your bases,whether it be a beach break or a double overhead barrel!!The flowing outline with the wider tail and rounded pin allow for glide in the small stuff as well as the turnability of your regular shorty,but still off enough holding power for more punchier grinding waves.

Big Toyz for Tha Big Dogs!!!

2011-03-01T16:38:00.001-08:00

Winter toyz for some of the boys and girls!! If you've got the Balls....or even if you haven't but surf like you got 'em!!! Step up and put up.

Double Trouble

2011-02-25T10:56:00.000-08:00

Both the Diamond pin Raptor Quaddie and the Sorcerers Apprentice are for my good friend John Yow who coincidently owns 3dm surfboard shaping systems.I've labelled these "Double Trouble" as i'm sure that they'll both get him into places he might not need to be.....!!!

Diamond Pin Raptor Quad

2011-02-17T08:46:00.000-08:00

The "Raptor Quad" has amazed me with it's performance.What started as an experimental board,has turned into one heck of a performance shorty!I'd been testing over the course of last year with many different fin configurations as well as tow and pitch and was fortunate to test it in Indo,Hawaii,Nicaragua,Puerto Rico as well as both East and West coasts of the US.Feedback right off the bat was very positive.I had reservations about the turnability under certain conditions,but once again with a few minor tweaks,this board turned out to be the Real Deal!

'Fire and water"

2011-02-17T08:42:00.000-08:00

Fire and water don't usually mix,but in the case of the "Dragonfish Fireball" anything's possible.

The "Blacktip"

2010-12-05T15:29:00.001-08:00

Hybrids are hot commodities these days for a must have in any serious surfers quiver.Fully equipped with a 5-4-3 fin combo as well as sufficient rocker to handle those late drops!! If you've got the balls..then let them hang out with one of these.Take no prisoners..because Santa has come early this year.Slated for 2011 release...it could not wait.Surfing this board is pure fun.

The "Hipwing"

2010-12-05T15:21:00.000-08:00

High fused EPS epoxy high performance shorty.Personal board to outpaddle those pesky Groms when age is a factor.6'0" x 19" x 2.32"

Just when the Groms thought it was safe to go back in the water..pull this bad boy out and it's fair game.

Ride it 1" - 2 " shorter than standard shorty and 1/2" - 1" wider with same thickness.For High fused EPS order 1/8" thinner.

"Dragonfish Fireball"

2010-10-28T09:45:00.000-07:00

This is the "Real Deal" for the stepped bottom 6 channelled Dragonfish Fireball.Why accept wannabee watered down imitations! Hold onto to your fake head weaves.. or put lots of sunscreen on that bald spot because this baby flies for those those who think that they can handle it!!!

Channel fever is alive and well!!

2010-10-12T10:14:00.000-07:00

This is the RT-S1 Stealth model with a slight change up so to speak.I customized by adding four deep channels along with a 5-4-3 fin set up for one of my Japanese customers!This is gonna be a rocket..so hang on for the ride in the land of the rising sun!!

The Sorcerer's Apprentice...walk on water!!

2010-10-06T16:32:00.000-07:00

This is one gem of a hybrid shorty.It is true magic in the water.Designed to be ridden 3-4" shorter than normal ..this board will do everything and more.It could almost be the perfect all around board..but then that would be bad for business.If you've ever wanted/needed that one magic board in your quiver..then this is arguably THAT board!!!!

Quiver of toyz for the ladies!!

2010-10-06T15:34:00.000-07:00

Quiver of freshies for the ladies who charge on the Aftermath label.

Frankie Oberholzer &Tom Curren

2010-10-05T08:40:00.000-07:00

Growing up in a small town..this was a HUGE deal for Frankie.Just watching him get to the level of his surfing was something amazing.He still continues to push his surfing limits..and i relish those days of being in the water at Greenpoint..just watching him free surf.

Add to your summer fun factor with the new Twinnies.

2010-04-28T08:11:00.000-07:00

Need i say more about these boards.They are just pure fun!!!After completely re-designing the original MR Twinfin design..i wanted to not only incorporate more performance and drive,but to make something that the new generation of surfers could really embrace and take to the next level.This new line of Twinnies is exactly that!Versatility is the name of the game and these deliver!
From the grom who's into chop hops, to the seasoned Pro who's looking to expand their surfing horizons...These modern day Twins are definately worth a shot!

"The Sorceror's Apprentice"

2010-04-14T17:15:00.001-07:00

Here's getting into the summer groove with hybrid shorty with some wicked "Fish" tendencies thrown in.Much like the attributes of the "Pagoda Rocket Fish",this board is a screamer on the water.Definately shorter and most definately wider with just enough rocker to handle those slightly hollow punchier days,but still allowing performance in the turns due to a narrower tail taken from my standard PS shorty and then modified to fit this flowing curvy outline.Ride this gem 3-4" shorter and at least 1" wider than standard performance shorty and 1/16" thicker than usual thickness.These are are simply put"Magic" on the water.If you don't have one in your quiver ,then now is the time to order.Can be ordered as a Quad , Thruster or in 5-4-3 fin combos.

Tow-in Toyz

2010-02-28T16:22:00.000-08:00

Tow weapon for Keala.I decided to go with the Quad fin set up this time around.Both the outline and rail foil were changed up for this as well as the bottom contour.I'm excited to see how it will project with her aggressive charging style.

New models

2010-02-16T15:05:00.000-08:00

New board "Sledzz" models for Randy Townsend.One of the hardest working Pro's out there! But in his defense for not having them up sooner...well let's just put it this way...he's always surfing and testing boards at some exotic local around the world,where conveniently no e-mail exists and cell phone's don't work.It's a dirty job but someone's got to do it!...Heck i wish it was me...i'm still trying to get on his payroll.

Getting back to my roots

2010-02-08T17:48:00.001-08:00

I decided to do a crazy line of artwork mainly inspired by my South African roots.The color work is extremely vibrant and whilst not for everybody....it has a kinda messy cool feel about it.I will be doing these types of designs in different color combinations as well as various abstract configurations.

Japanese Soccer Quad

2010-01-22T17:15:00.000-08:00

One of my Japanese customers felt it was time to show his support for the world soccer cup.Hence the football design,and so this little 5'6"beauty will tearing it up in Japanese waters pretty darn soon.

"The Dreamer"

2010-01-09T14:10:00.000-08:00

This little screamer came from a blend of a few boards for one of my team guys.We had been toying around with some designs and dimensions and after scaling down his regular 6'2" x 18 1/2" x 2 1/4" epoxy shorty,we came up with this 5'10" x 19 1/2" x 2 5/16".Using a combo of my PR-M2 bottom rocker,more relaxed in the nose with the wider tail outline and a slightly more pulled in UFG nose and standard PS shorty rails.Throw in the 5 er Future fin combo and out popped "The Dreamer".I'm sure there'll be more variations coming from this as we test these out in the next few months.Stay tuned!!

Happy New Year

2009-12-31T10:48:00.000-08:00

Wishing everyone a very prosperous New Year!!!I'm really looking forward to 2010.I think better times are coming and i'm excited about showcasing a bunch of new boards.There's been a bunch of R&D going on behind the scenes and lookout for new signature graphics on the performance boards.Thankyou to everyone for your support of Aftermath in 2009 and we are definately looking to bigger things for 2010.
Here's a sampler of another board coming for the new year.This little 5'10 is about as ugly as it gets..but hang on for the ride.We are looking for a suitable name for this board..any ideas..e-mail us at info@aftermathsurfboards.com.
See you all next year.

Happy Holidays everyone

2009-12-24T15:31:00.000-08:00

Hey everyone..well here's wishing you all a very happy holiday season wherever you may be around the world.It's been a crazy year with the economy still in shambles..but it can't last forever and i'm sure we'll all have a prosperous New year.Lookout for some new graphic styles coming out early in the New year on the high performance boards.I've been toying around with a few new ideas and the test samples have looked very promising indeed.
For all you Bonzer fans out there...here's something to wet your palate.I have a few versions of this board and it basically came about with the blending of the UFG nose and the tail end of the BRF with the BF-M2 rails.I've called this blend of boards the "Cosmonautic"Unfortunately the main drawback to attain the desired ride feel of the Bonzer, are the fin systems and the added weight they impose,however the board is a gem to ride.
Happy Holidays everyone.

"Fugly Duckling"

2009-12-21T13:52:00.000-08:00

Not usual for me to customize the BRF,but when good friends and customers come visiting from far away lands...sometimes you just have to go with the flow...hence i named this one off, the "Fugly Duckling"
A standard BRF which has a narrowed outline and rolled deck with more performance rail and quad set up and wide thumb tail instead of customary swallow tail!

Surgery recovery

2009-11-10T16:31:00.000-08:00

Just wanted to thank everyone for all the well wishes etc after a near fatal ruptured appendix a few weeks back.I'm hoping to be back shaping asap.To all customers currently waiting for orders,i really appreciate the support and understanding and will do my best to get these done.

Here's some more upcoming tidbits from the Dragonfish Fireball.This is a slight variation off the original and i have re worked this from one of my older designs.Please when ordering these allow for added manufacturing time due to the complex nature of this design.I don't make these boards to be cookie cutter easy like some manufacturers have tried.These are serious steps with concaves and channels and are a laminators and sanders worst nightmare.Luckily for me i have a great team of guys who have done hundreds of these for me over the years.
