Raptor Pin
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"
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.Tuesday, April 19, 2011
New models arriving
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.

Double Trouble
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.....!!!
