Fun Egg 6'2": A design that astounds riders for its responsiveness and predictability.
A new size created due to the popularity of the 6'6" Fun Egg. Normally wide and round is associated with 'slow to react', but the combination of concave forward section giving lift and security on the wave face plus pronounced Vee double concave tail with a moderate tail lift, makes this board quick and easy to turn off the tail yet also great in the steep sections or on the weakest groveller mush burger. Stable yet loose and with the reliable 3 fin Thruster system, from novice to expert, the Fun Egg is the board that makes all surf sessions fun and amazes in it's ability to keep you hunting wave contours all the way to the shoreline. The carbon-railed, bamboo-sandwich construction gives strength, lightness and spice to this already fun and versatile 6'2" design.

6'6" Fun-Egg: Fast and floaty thruster fun from slop to fast surf. A board to keep you smiling no matter how crappy the conditions. With ample width and volume, the Fun-Egg’s a weekend warrior’s wave catcher, fits into any type of surf, and loves to keep on trucking when the waves ‘aint chucking.

The 6'10" Fun Egg: To contain jealousy of those larger riders witnessing the riders of the 6'6" Fun Egg having all the fun, on popular demand we created the 6'10 Fun Egg.
Also a perfect board for those lighter riders wanting a super wave catcher that is stable and easy to turn, the 6'10" Fun Egg has the same key ingredients of a concave forward section with a pronounced Vee Double concave tail section with moderate tail lift that made the 6'6" Fun Egg so popular.The forward concave means you are up and planing early and the Vee double concave will initiate turns quickly and provide speed. Volume and width help with wave mileage, getting you back out into the line up and back onto the most challenging waves with ease. The carbon-railed, bamboo-sandwich construction gives strength, lightness and zing to this new 6'10" wave catcher. Comes with the reliable 3 fin Thruster set-up.

Bamboo / Epoxy
Botanically categorized as a grass, bamboo just might be the world’s most sustainable resource. It is the fastest growing grass and can shoot up over a metre a day without any pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers. The extensive root system of bamboo holds soil together, prevents soil erosion, and retains water. Bamboo fibres are long, strong and light so when sandwiched between layers of fibreglass and epoxy resin on a surfboard, they provide a lightweight, durable, great looking and great performing board.

Bamboo Epoxy Carbon LTD Series
The quick rebound qualities of Carbon fibre 3K rail bands bring a highly reactive feel to this Bamboo sandwich combo where the reinforcement is strategically placed to minimise weight and maximise strength where needed. One of the lightest technologies on the market, the BAMBOO EPOXY CARBON technology is where performance knows no limits.
