THE ROUND TAIL: With the third fin used for drive and direction shapers have been searching for ways to take advantage of the three fin hold and loosen up the outline so surfers can balance the turn with the burn. The round tail has a pulled back straight in the outline but is very forgiving in the tail, very popular shape.
THE RICE BURNER: Jason Rice came up with some weird measurements and a weird outline because he wanted a board that would skate around like a fish in small waves but snap the lip for vertical return with a pulled nose. This has been one of our most demanded shapes since we started showing it around for laughs three years ago. Shows what you can do if you know what you want.
2XSPEED CONCAVE: The need for speed is the origin of the Double Concave. One of our team riders Steve Anest returned from Hawaii a few years ago where he had ridden a Bonzer bottom, the Bonzer is a very fast design that employs two tunnel concaves to create a venturi effect (speed). Steve suggested we try two concaves between the fins on a modern tri fin to simulate the concaves drive speed, while retaining the turning and driving effects of the tri fin. The speed and drive of the boards were radically improved immediately. The Double concave or Triple Concave comes standard in every Natural Art it used to be an extra charge but it is too much a major part of our design to leave it out
3XFASTER: The Triple Concave had become the bottom design of choice. Added length and depth to it and the results have made for a much faster board.
THE FISH: The fish has evolved into a versatile design. Surfers are getting them with all removable fins rather than the two big fish fins on the side. More surfers are ordering " A board with all the fish measurements but not a fish" so the influence (wider flatter faster ) has pushed its way into general board design.
