Point Made
A Performance Shortboard
Performance Shortboards are for performance surfing. No extra foam, no spongy-wave tolerance, just straight up and down performance – Point Made.
This shortboard design is reserved for the rippable to solid days where wave quality is sufficient to allow experienced and charging surfers to bring carves, snaps, off the lips and barrel riding to their personal next level. A lot of rocker in the nose, quite some off the tail, a simple yet refined single concave all the way, performance foil and all the extra foam skimmed-off bring you drive from the bottom and release off the top. The squash tail with a tiny hip supports quick line adjustments and pumps while pushing for the next section or to fully hit the lip. Waves do not need to be ultra strong yet should provide enough curve in the faces to complement the Point Made’s design.
Order this shape in the right size and refrain from looking for volume convenience in order to make it work properly. Extra foam will only slow you down and render the performance aspects null. This thing wants to be pushed hard and propel your surfing.

Point Made Thumb
Step up performance.
Lukas Brunner has asked us for the Thumb Tail version of the Point Made, to travel light on a recent Indo trip yet always bring the 1 right board to the break – Point Made.
This shape is for the experienced and charging surfers who want to squeeze everything out of solid to heavy conditions. A lot of rocker in the nose and tail of the board allow for radical top-to-bottom surfing. The slightly deeper than regular single concave of the helps to handle powerful conditions and provide lift. The Thumb tail design offers a great blend of control on the wall and smooth rail-to-rail transition. All of the design features have been assembled to allow for your surfing to happen in one smooth line, with double pumps being out of the equation. Hence waves should provide the quality, size and push needed for you to exell to your max.
Order this shape in the right size and refrain from looking for volume convenience in order to make it work properly. Extra foam will only slow you down and render the performance aspects null. This thing wants to go off in solid to heavy breaks with considerable size and period being spilled over them.

QR CODE
Bada BIng Bada Boom
The QR Code is a small wave HP Shortboard pushing limits based on a perfect line and fitness. The shape frothes on: everything smooth, everything with maximum speed.
Quirin Rohleder’s original design asks for constant work along the perfect line, especially when surfing semi-natural rapids such as the Eisbach. If you are looking for forgiving shapes, choose differently. The QR Code gives you the most radical maneuvers with ease and controls powerful artificial rapids such as Unit or Citywave perfectly. On those waves the QR Code also works for the intermediates and makes it easy for them to learn radical and powerful turns.
In the ocean, this design has great capacities to tear out the bags of any small pocket and leave you surprised of how much drive can be generated in mediocre surf. … given you are in good shape and know how to push a performance shortboard.
Use this shape in any artificial rapid and on Euro beaches all year round. Definitely a step down when heading out for Indonesian waters or into long-period swell destinations.

BANG STICK
A Groveler
The Bang Stick takes shortboarding into less curvey and smaller waves with a bang! A wave catcher for every trip and day, which offers a great blend between forgiving yet reactive handling.
Since grovelers have a bit of a sluggish reputation by name, let us make this clear – the Bang Stick is not for the mellow cruise. Place your back foot on the tail pad and off you go. A little more rocker, some pronounced concaves and a little more beef to compensate for the above make for a super agile small waves and rapids shortboard design. The Bang Stick delivers great snap with above par drive, especially for taller and heavier surfers. You will need to add pressure to the tail, in return you will get crazy snaps and hacks.
This shape is for a more front footed and slightly heavier surfer than the QR Code for example. A surfer who likes the comfort of a touch more volume in a shape used mostly in summer and on all sorts of rapids. Perfectly fit for summer swells and spots found on Sri Lanka, Central America, summerly Europe or on Unit and CityWave rapids. Bang!

The Talking
Will Speak For you
Nici Marusa was looking for a shape allowing him to focus on having fun while tearing apart small waves and rapids in his signature style relying on athleticism while following intuition. A shape that does just that for him basically – The Talking.
Nici Marusa is a front footed shredder ready to put in all the work it needs to get maximum speed and maneuverability out of this board. With it’s comparably low entry rocker this shape works really well (for him) in smaller waves and rapids yet does not sacrifice on reactiveness due to the release in tail and a Vee off.
Since Nici is into technical tricks we kept a bit of extra foam in the nose area of the board to smoothen out reverse and shuvit landings. Helpful for paddling and to make flatter sections too. The rounded squash offers a nice balance between rail control through roundhouse combos and pop to get into air maneuvers. This goes for Surfing and Rapid Surfing.
