Featuring a med-low entry rocker that flows seamlessly into a med-high exit rocker providing an instant burst of speed from take-off with exceptional control, drive and carry in small-sized conditions. The forgiving soft-boxy rail optimizing drive through flatter sections and sub-par conditions.
The bottom contour features a subtle single concave in the entry that gradually fades from the boards centre of mass to a modest single-double concave, moving smoothly into a slight vee off the tail.
The NUCLEUS is designed using a clever parallel plan shape positioned centrally, with the nose tucking in neatly providing extra paddling efficiency, ensuring maximal drive under your chest. The pulled-in-hip tail template eliminates any restrictions, warranting crisp rail-to-rail transitions for magnetic surfing.
A reviewed and updated model stemming from our original XOVA ride the NUCLEUS 2 inches shorter and 1/2 inch wider than your regular shortboard with option to add a touch of thickness. We build the file out in a squash, swallow and thumb-pin as well as taking all custom ideas and bringing them to life, it's what we enjoy the most.
Designed with a low entry rocker for easy speed and acceleration through weaker sections, The tail curve in contrast is kicked out and lively for performance oriented and maneuverability. The RAD.og(fun) has a relatively flat deck line with med-tapered rails providing added front foot volume without sacrificing sensitivity.
The RAD.og(fun) features a unique entry contour transitioning from a soft vee into a single concave under your back foot and out of the tail leading to a crisp, drivey, high-performance feel to get the most out of every wave you catch.
The outline is pulled in through the nose, featuring a full-bodied performance outline in the back half of the plan shape with a natural hip adding to its responsiveness and liveliness off the tail.
Ride the RAD.og(fun) anywhere from 2" to 5" shorter than your regular shortboard depending on your surfing ability, and 1/2" to 1" wider and add a bit more volume than you normally ride.
Lower entry rocker for fast paddling and early wave entry, blending into a clean, moderate exit curve. Keeps the board lively underfoot while holding plenty of speed.
Single-to-double through the centre, blending into a moderate vee with four channels out the tail. Rolls rail to rail with ease, adds bite off the bottom, and keeps speed flowing over softer sections.
Wide point just forward of centre, moderately wide nose, and a single-wing swallow tail. The wing and channels combine for drive, hold, and release—snappy pivots or sweeping carves on demand.
Refined beak nose pushes foam forward for paddle power, while rails are pulled for sensitivity and bite. Ride it 1–2” shorter than your Daily Driver, ½–1” wider, and with a touch more volume.
The REHAB carries the glide and forgiveness of the NUCLEUS but adds more drive and release thanks to its swallow and channels. Best in 2–4ft surf, it’s a versatile small-to-mid beachie board that feels fast and responsive under any surfer.
Carrying a full-length continuous mid-entry and exit rocker for quick acceleration, paired with forgiving medium rails providing instant bursts of speed from take-off and a reliable balance of manoeuvrability and drive.
Full length single throughout the bottom that runs into a lenient double between the fins that softens through the tail exit for full rail to rail contact.
Use of parallel curves and clean and well balanced plan shape in the nose and tail disburses the volume out evenly empowering an electric performance in a vast range of wave types and sizes.
The LAMB is one of WA’s most popular shortboard models for a reason and proven itself for many years most notably by Nick Munts who 'Choofs' it up and down the coast regularly.
The rocker and bottom contour set the MARCELA apart. With the flattest curve of any HPSB in the range, it carries instant, consistent speed from the first pump, over flats, and through softer sections. To keep it lively, we run a single-to-double concave through the front two-thirds, blending into a deep double-concave/vee combo through the fins and tail. This lets the board roll rail to rail with ease, while the vee adds release for tight, vertical arcs in the pocket.
Single to double through the entry and mid-section for drive and projection. Transitioning into a deep double-to-vee out the tail for looseness and precision in steeper parts of the wave.
Moderately pulled wide point set just behind centre, encouraging you to surf off the mid-to-exit foil. A fuller tail block adds lift, speed, and pop in the air. A subtle, disguised hip above the fins breaks the outline for tighter pivots and a free, lively feel through the lip.
Balanced foil from nose to tail, with a slightly thinner forward section and more foam carried back. A flat-ish deck pushes volume out to the rails for paddle power, while tapered rail edges keep bite and sensitivity underfoot.
Ride the MARCELA 1” shorter and a touch wider than your standard HPSB. Keep volume close, or add ½–1L for zing in weaker surf. This board shines in everyday conditions but is versatile enough to light up when the waves turn on—delivering speed, release, and a high-performance edge in one package.
The TWNTY20 has a continuous medium-curve in the entry with a full extended-exaggerated tail lift combined with a flatter deck line to engage with the performance rail profile that allows for critical surfing in various conditions and sizes.
Featuring a deep forward single concave in the entry generating speed and rail connectivity, running into a double concave that exits through the fins.
Reviewed and updated with a slightly fuller nose and tucked-hip in tail to retain volume and control at speed.
Ride the TWNTY20 in your standard dims and can also add a touch of length to extend the rail line and really engage with the curve. It will sit nicely in your quiver and excel in waves from 3-6ft.
The PORTO features an increased-full rocker profile that carries evenly from entry through to the tail exit to enhance control and speed in punchy conditions, more concave meaning more speed for searing surfing, with med-low, tapered rail, for locked in, connected and balanced control at high speeds with the continuous rocker.
Deep single entry concave with a pronounced double concave cutting through the tail retaining speed, lift and tight radius turns.
The PORTO carries a touch more width in the entry plan shape with plenty of central curve to retain a smooth turning surface area under the chest for proper, vertical performance surfing while pulled into a soft-area pin tail in the last few inches to add confidence and hold in the pocket.
All of our top tier and underground surfers claimed the PORTO as the best board in their quiver for high intensity surfing in above average waves which cemented this design as something unique to the West Australian coastline.
Medium curve through the board prevents catching in critical parts of the wave, while keeping the balance between speed and control in punchier conditions. A touch of extra tail lift adds manoeuvrability and release when you need it most.
Flattened vee entry for easy paddling and flow, transitioning into a single under the front foot, blending to a double through the fins. This adds lift, smooth rail-to-rail transitions, and speed down the line while maintaining control in heavier sections.
Forward wide point and fuller nose carry foam under the chest for early entry and paddle power. The outline pulls into a refined tail, keeping drive and stability in bigger surf while giving you the control to push through critical turns and barrels. A subtle hip above the fins adds pivot and short-arc responsiveness when needed.
Designed to be user-friendly and forgiving, but with all the performance to step up when conditions demand it. Volume is distributed generously throughout—hidden in the right places to float and paddle without sacrificing sensitivity. Lowered rails still let you bury it at high speed. Ride it 2–3” longer and at least ¹⁄₈” thicker than your daily driver for the right blend of confidence, paddle power, and hold.
The rocker is med/low through entry to get you into waves easily and momentum down the line, the exit end has plenty of med/high curve for dominance and composure, we decreased both the tail and rail profile to help grip through barrels and turns at speed.
Single concave runs through the full rocker length, with a well-set double concave to engage through the fins and exit, which equals speed and lift both on a rail and over flat spots while allowing for quick rail-to-rail transitions.
The outline is more refined: it still has the wide point pushed a bit forward of center, but the nose area is kept down and the tail slightly pulled in to help it fit into a tighter curve. The thickness is also pushed forward, which helps even more with getting you into waves easily.
The ANCHOVY is the design that Luke Sarahana rode through his global quests, the collaboration between surfer/shaper offers performance in hollower, more powerful waves and has proven to work extremely well in waves of consequence and most notably the spiralling lefts of the Donkey bay.
The JM02 uses a proven rocker curve tested throughout WA's premier waves of consequence where an engaged, high-end step-up is required to match the power and intensity of waves.
Featuring a full continuous single to double concave exiting between the fins, allowing you to surf with more confidence and freedom as you are firmly connected to and planted in the wave face.
The overall body of the outline is pushed slightly forward to meet with the distribution of forward foam, however to eliminate catch points, it is crimped and tight in the nose, with a well-balanced straighter pulled in outline through the tail to optimise hold.
The JM02 will hold its own anywhere in the world and the curve, being multifaceted, will serve you well in a full range of conditions. The design can be ridden a touch shorter than you + size steps ups with added thickness as the design is best compressed to bring the boards mass under your feet where you need it most.
Medium entry and exit curves similar to our big-wave performers, tuned to fit in quality, hollow surf. Enough lift to knife the drop, with flow that holds steady down the line.
A shallow single runs nose to tail. Built not to create extra lift but to harness the wave’s own power, keeping the board fast, direct, and under control in heavy water.
Narrow, straight plan shape built for speed, projection, and hold. Designed to lock you into the barrel, handle shockwaves and chandeliers, and stay true when it matters most.
Glassed 6x6x6 for strength, durability, and added momentum in windy or bumpy conditions. Ride it with smaller fins than usual—mediums where you’d normally go large—as the outline provides plenty of hold. Quads for tube time, thruster if you’ll be turning.
The full length single concave gives it a reliable feel of control that transitions into a rolled spiral-vee (double) between the fins for acceleration and hold. The combination of bottom contours opens up your wave options from small days at home to point runners and overhead pipes.
Modern iteration of a timeless plan shape compliments the WLT TWN both aesthetically and in functionality with a tight pulled in tail to bring the fins closer together giving added hold to perform rail to rail and drive through turns when you need it.
The WLT TWN will change your perspective of what a twin fin is, a board you can push hard on the rail or just enjoy down the line speed. Ride a few inches taller, slightly wider and add a couple litres for a mid length-cruisy feel, or custom the file to suit your needs with its versatility to replace your standard shortboard or step up if you're chasing that feel.
Low entry rocker for easy wave entry, blending into a subtle performance lift out the tail. The curve pairs with a clean, evenly tapered mid-rail to balance speed and control.
Subtle vee entry fading into a structured single-to-double through the centre, providing instant speed and glide over flat sections. The tail exits with a vee-double for added lift and release down the line.
Full, generous curves with a touch of extra width through the tail and a refined swallow. Built for speed and hold through quick directional changes, without losing that flowy feel.
Ride it 3–6” shorter and ½–1” wider than your shortboard, with equal or slightly more volume. With rider feedback, we’ve found the #vonmnspn versatile enough to scale up for those wanting to push more critical lines. Pair it with your favourite twin, or experiment with quads and keels to fine-tune the feel.
Medium entry for easy wave entry, blending into a lively exit curve. Keeps the board fast down the line but free enough to fit in tight sections.
Single through the entry, running into a deep double and light vee out the tail. Built to generate instant speed while keeping rail-to-rail transitions smooth and intuitive.
Short, modern plan shape with a swallow-inspired “Gull” tail—an inner curve that softens flow while retaining bite. Designed to be ridden much shorter than your standard shortboard, compact but still capable of pushing into critical parts of the wave.
Choose a length based on the width and volume you’re comfortable with, and let the board push you into new parts of the wave. The JSYM is essentially the same performance package as its asym sibling, minus the offset tail curves. Goofy or regular, one board fits all stances.
Low entry rocker for quick acceleration and glide, paired with a lively curve through the tail that keeps it free and responsive.
Light single through the front blending into a double out the back. Generates instant speed, keeps lift under the back foot, and holds rail through turns.
Shortened rail line with wide point forward for paddle power and flow. Pulled swallow tail adds bite and release, letting you shift from long lines to sharp pivots with ease.
Contemporary shortboard rails for precision, hidden volume for forgiveness. Designed to ride 3–6” shorter and at the same thickness as your standard 2020-style shortboard.
Run it as a twin-plus-trailer for the free feel of a twin with added drive and hold, or swap to thruster for classic control. A versatile utility piece that blends fun and performance across a wide range of conditions.
Overall flat rocker for effortless momentum in weak surf, with just enough curve to keep the board responsive when the waves line up.
Vee from nose to tail with a double through the fins. This keeps it loose rail-to-rail while adding control and drive through longer arcs.
Semi-traditional, wide-point-forward plan shape that blends speed and glide with a generous distribution of volume. Low rails give sensitivity and bite at speed, while the round tail keeps it smooth and reliable through turns.
Easy paddling, responsive, and versatile. PNSPN excels in playful conditions from knee-high to overhead, shining on points, reefs, or stretched beachies where flow matters more than flare. Ride it when you want more time between turns, earlier entry into waves, and the ability to simply stay out longer.
Relaxed central rocker glides with ease, paired with a slightly wider, no-flip nose for paddle speed and early entry. Added tail rocker with deep double concave gives the LNGSPN its spark—allowing you to whip wraps like a shortboard while still drawing long, flowing lines.
Single through the entry, transitioning to a deep double through the fins and tail. This generates effortless speed, lift off the back foot, and reliable grip through turns.
Moderately pulled-in tail keeps the board lively in small surf yet controlled in bigger waves. Wider nose and stretched template open the design to a broader range of surfers and conditions.
Built with a hidden-volume, two-stage deck line: foam focused toward the stringer with a rapid taper into the rails. This creates a flat, stable deck without feeling bulky, and rails that are sensitive yet forgiving. Order it a touch longer than your daily driver for maximum range.
The LNGSPN owns its spot at home and holds its own when you travel—fast, flowing, and versatile across conditions.
Flatter entry and exit curves keep the board fast and flowing, with plenty of glide in slower surf. The rocker is tuned for easy speed, translating instantly from paddle to planing.
Double within a single through the centre, blending into a pronounced vee out the tail. This bottom contour ensures smooth, seamless rail-to-rail transitions with drive and control through turns.
Full yet racy outline, wide point pushed forward (without being overly fishy). A single wing behind the front fins acts as a pivot point, adding bite and releasing for tight, snappy turns. Pulled-in swallow tail locks in hold while keeping the board fast and responsive.
Inset double concave in the chest/front foot area creates a broken-in feel from the first surf. A classic beak nose adds thickness under the chest for paddle power. Rear fin box (or plug) allows the option of running a stabiliser for added drive without losing the loose twin-fin feel.
Order at your height or slightly under, around 1" wider and a touch thicker than your shortboard, for more volume, glide, and all-around fun. The FARRELLY shines in small surf but comes alive just as much in quality, lined-up conditions worldwide—fast, free, and uniquely its own.
