BORN TO FLY SURBOARDS
Having partaken in the near full evolution of the modern day surfboard I have been on the ride since the 70s during the single fin times and witnessed the twists and turns of various surfboard eras and what influenced their creation.
Living through the three Twin Fin eras, experimenting with quads as far back as the early 80’s and also involved at the forefront of competitive surfboard design for 30 years one could think that the evolution is complete.
This could not be further from the truth and in fact, especially over the last decade, surfers have realised that pure enjoyment doesnt just come in one form. What one person may enjoy, another may dislike, or what goes well for somebody in certain waves may not be the board of choice for another.
The full retro thing is fantastic especially when applied to recreating the absolute classic surfboards of the past, however we have learned so much about hydro dynamics to just simply recreate boards like we did back then and expect them to go well. Why cant we choose classic surfboards from the past and apply enhancements to them that we have evolved over time.
Well we can !!!!! and that’s just where born to fly surfboards come in .
The Born To Fly label is intended to be a composite of the past and present, its surfboards consisting of classical elements and Iconic outlines combined with modern and proven performance enhancements. We can use all our history of designs that came before us and cherry picking facets that will suit inclusion into the new designs we are creating.
While the label denotes speed, agility will come a close second. There will be many different gender’s represented with various fin combinations drawn from the past and scoping into the future so that every board will be born to fly…
