The Shaper Richard Henty has been surfing for over 25 years and shaping the last 19 of those. He got into the surfing business in England where he grew up. Four years ago he made the move with his company to the French Atlantic coast. There Richard creates innovative designs that offer high performance for the average surfer as well as the shredder. In the last two years he has placed special emphasis on the development of the Longboard, the Retro and the Quad. |

Artworks Sure, a completely white board has its attractive purity, but if you want an individual board, then why not choose your original artwork. In theory you can have any design on the board you want. For the simpler designs our airbrush mastermind, David, sprays your desires onto the board. If its more complicated, simply send us the artwork data and DTP professional, Markus, will print the motive on a very thin material, which is then laminated into the board. |

Blanks
We offer several high quuality blanks. Teccel is one of the best top-quality European blanks, which is also used by Pukas. Homeblown offers high-end "green blanks", which cause less environmental impact during their production. US Blanks is a company created by former managers and technicians of Clark Foam. Its "Blue" blank corresponds to the legendary "Clark Foam stock density" quality. Teccel and Homeblown blanks are available in single density or the leightweight version, which is of courseless durable. US blanks offer "Blue", "Green" (6 % heavier), and "Pro" (6 % lighter) blanks. For the average surfer we always recommend the standard density as the optimal compromise between stability and weight. |

| Glass, Resin & Finish
We exclusively use Hexcel glassThe standard is 4 + 4 oz. on top and 4 oz. on the bottom. We can gladly add a 6 oz. layer or use patches for specific areas. As for the resins, there is the choice between Silmar Resin Resin (very hard and rigid) or Reichold Resin (more memory & flex). On the top coat of the boards we offer sand finish, pro finish (a noble,silky matte finish) or a polished finish. A speciality of Ricard’s is his work with tinted resins giving a unique look. This is particularly popular for the Retro shapes. |

Fin systems
Apart from the choice of the fin setups (Thruster, Quad, Longboard, Single Fin, Retro Keel Twin or Quad Fins) you have the choice of the fin system as well. We offer both the world-wide most popular FCS system ot the Future Fins system. However, Future Fins are winning more and more of the market share, as their system is less susceptible to plug damage and can easily fit retro keel fins which provide a larger fin surface. |

| Prices für custom shaped Boards
Contrary to our stock boards, there is no set price list for our custom boards. The price depends on so many factors, that we calculate each board individually and make you an offer. The price starts at about 450€ for a shortboard with an airbrush design and Future Fins and ranges up to approx. 2000€ for a Balsawood core Longboard (upon request). |
