RipCurl Seven Ghosts - Episode 1

Kinetik Racing Co. Fins

Willer Surfcraft is proud to be carrying the latest and greatest from Kinetik Racing Co. fin range.  A new company from Australia pumping out some high tech/high performance pieces.  All fin templates come in either FCS or Futures base so there should be something for everyone.    The enclosed pictures are distorted, so please Email me at dowiller@gmail.com for more info and pricing or check out www.kinetikracingco.com   

Simmons Slays Stanley

A couple of Willer Surfcraft faithful took advantage of the great conditions this past weekend all around the lakes.   Joe on a nice carve on his modern-day simmons, set up with Futures Rasta Keels (The Quark) and Dan chillin with his traditional simmons (The Genesis Explosion) set up with glass-on Gephart Keels.     These types of boards are ideal for the conditions we often see around here.     Catch everything in site and fly down the line.

Hope everyone else scored this past weekend.

Board is heading out to Halifax for a salt water baptism.

"The Humpty" graphic done by Kurt Yonder (The Horned One).  I asked for an evil egg, and thats what we got.

Black Swan - Retrospective II

These pics were taking near the end of the foam shaping process.   Ed and I decided to change the flat spot in the deck/nose area.  We rounded out that region to increase the strength of the boat and  decrease the amount of water load-up that happens when paddling out and through waves.    I have kept considerable foot volume and tried to keep the knee pockets high and far enough to the sides that it should be a good cross-over from whitewater paddling ergonomics.    Can't see the hull features in the pictures but feature a slight displacement nose, transitioning into strong double-barrel concave and quad runner channels all shaped into a moderate Vee with an e-wing at the flight.  Very little tail rocker for max speed.     Very much based on a bonzer hull.   Will be very interesting to see how she flies.  Had great input from Greg Webber (Webber Surfboards in Australia) and Tim Stafford (English shaper and Bonzer expert).

Rainbow Fin Co./Lok Box Quads

Now that we are offering LokBox as a fin box option, I just wanted to show you all the cool quad sets that Rainbow Fin Co. makes with LokBox bases.   RFC is the only company making speed dialers which come in "regular" and "cutaway" (for more release) and both of those styles are also offered in a "Turbo" format with increased cant for on the rail surfing.    Keep watching for the other fins offered from RFC in posts to come.     We stock a small selection of these fins, but we can special order anything for you.   If you are interested in pricing, fire me an email to dowiller@gmail.com and we can hook you up.

Black Swan - Retrospective Part 1

After design of the Black Swan surf kayak on BoardCAD, the next step was to hot-wire the rocker and deck profile, followed by the outline template from a large EPS billet.

Genetically Modified Organism

  

Being the mad molecular biologist that I am, we have injected some Willer Surfcraft DNA into this new little (5'4") groveller called "The Humpty".    I am not ashamed to say that the parental DNA is derived from Firewires' hot Sweet Potato board.   What the customer wants is what the customer gets.   Sick double barrel concave, nominal nose rocker, flat deck and performance rails.  

   Will fly in the smallest of surf.
