For The Love
FTL
More rocker, winged swallow, high-performance shortboard.
Feel. A clean, committed line with speed that builds as the board settles into the wave.
Best for. Curious surfers looking for an individual shape developed through direct conversation.
A familiar, responsive feel with a traditional timber centre stringer and a clean glassed finish.
Custom only. No stock boards or preset dimensions. Gary shapes each FTL around the surfer and their waves.

Construction paths
Material is part of the shape.
Stringered PU
A familiar reference point with a traditional centre stringer and a responsive, connected feel.
Carbon rail PU
A stringerless approach that uses the rails to tune response, strength and the way flex returns through a turn.
EPS Flax
A distinctive construction path using natural flax cloth, considered durability and a lively flex character.
