2 +1 Hand Shaped by Neal Purchase

5'9 x 19 3/4 x 2 3/8

Red resin tint - gloss finish

 "2 + 1 = fun. Here’s my general 2 + 1 set up. It was originally influenced by Dave Parmenter’s Widow Maker design. The side fins are bigger, and back fin an inch or two smaller than the Widow Maker.. Generating more rail bite and release in average day to day conditions. It is a smooth and stable, good all-round design and can hold some serious rail in solid conditions, probably best described as a marriage between a single fin and thruster… A good all-rounder."

Twin + 1 Hand Shaped by Neal Purchase

5'6 x 19 1/8 x 2 1/4

Purple resin tint - matte finish

Neal's description of the Twin +1: 

'This is another variation of the twin fin design, with a small centre stabiliser fin… It has all the get up and go and speed of a twin fin just with more stability through turns. It is probably the most high performance set up I have created…. Best surfed in small to medium-sized waves…'

Beau Young Wombat

6'0 x 20 7/8 x 2 1/2

Blue resin tint - gloss finish

Shaped at Open on Beau's last visit. This is a one board quiver with multiple fin options. 

Here is what Beau says:

'In the late 1990s, early 2000s myself and then shaper Paul Hutchinson designed a board named “The Wombat”.

Wide, versatile and enabling surfers of any ability to get out there have fun and
catch a ton of waves on a shortboard. “The Wombat” went on to be a best-seller
worldwide for the Bear surfboard company.

“The Wombat MKII” has all the attributes of the original only better!! Still nice and wide
and relatively thick for catching any wave with ease, the new model has a touch more rocker (curve) in the bottom shape to make turning easier, a Diamond tail instead of the traditional large rounded square tail also enhancing the turning capability of a tried and truly tested design.

The board concept is a combination of some of the designs similarly used by Australian surfing greats Wayne Lynch and Michael Petersen during the early to mid 70’s period. With a centre fin box and multiple plugs this newly enhanced model is more diverse than ever before. Take a ride on “The Wombat MKII” from tiny waves to 6-foot high surf this is the perfect mid-length board. If you want to feel the glide of a longboard or you are ready to adapt to something shorter, try a “Wombat MKII”.

BOARD DETAILS
The Wombat Mark II is available in lengths 5’4″ up to 6’8″
An example of the boards measurement ratios for a 6’4″ are:
length 6’4″, width 21 ¾, thickness 2 ¾, noise 17 ¾, tail 15 ½

We now have bigger versions available 6’10 – 8’0'

'Nice round tail for smooth arcs, concave under the nose for levitation, pinched 50/50 rails for bite, drive and hold, and 5 stringers for aesthetics! Couple this board with a big 11-inch “honker” fin for carry and grip. Definitely a Beauty!!!'
