Flexframe Technology
A new surfboard is a big investment. We use the best materials available and work with some of the worlds best shapers to ensure all our customers get an epic board.
Boards that perform, last, and feel really good underfoot
Very Fast
The wooden components have a natural oil based hydrophobic coating. Which reduces friction and makes the boards really fast.
No wax. Ever.
The raw cork deck is naturally grippy, giving you consistent traction right out of the box. No sticky, messy wax that melts in the sun and washes off in the water.
Flex without failure
A stacked ply frame around the perimeter of the board delivers unprecedented flex and resistance to snaps, while reducing the risk of rail damage.
Built to last. Easy to repair.
We haven't had any reported snaps with our current construction method, and most dings can be easily repaired without toxic chemicals.
Less than half the CO₂.
The materials we use and our production process generates less than half the CO₂ of a standard PU board.
A deeper connection.
The timber has a natural resonance and the cork dampens chatter, which deepens your connection to the wave.
Flex is your Friend
Flex is one of the most important and misunderstood elements of surfboard construction, Learn why having a flexible surfboard can improve your surfing and how our boards can flex so much without failing here...

FAQs
What makes your boards environmentally friendlier?
We build with lower-impact materials like Paulownia wood, cork, natural fibres, recyclable EPS, and plant-based bio resins. Boards are finished with natural oils and hard wax, avoiding toxic topcoats and heavy industrial processes.
Do I need to wax the deck?
No. The raw cork deck has a natural texture that provides grip without wax. Cork is naturally grippy, giving you consistent traction right out of the box.
Where are the boards built?
Today we build boards in New Zealand and the Netherlands, with plans to build more factories so boards can be built closer to where our customers live. This helps reduce emissions and lead times.
How durable are they?
They are built to last and be easy to repair. We can count the number of snapped boards on one hand. The perimeter frame delivers unprecedented flex and resistance to snaps while reducing the risk of rail damage.
