69ER PRO ‘8″ x 19 3/4″ x 2 3/8″ SHAPER: Axel Lorentz FINS: Thruster PRICE: £460 Axel worked on feedback from the team wanting to push the original 69er more vertical and generate more speed in smaller waves to make it more performance. He moved back the wide point in the outline to have more area under back foot (generate more speed) and less in the nose to allow more radical turns. he also increased the overall rocker to go more vertical. Also changing the volume to re-balance the board. Less volume in the nose to make it lighter and more in the back to generate speed and resist hard turns.

PARACHUTE 5’10” x 19 7/16″ x 2 1/2″ SHAPER: Taz Yassin FINS: 5 fin PRICE: £500 (with Channels) The Pukas Parachute is a high performance board in an alternative package. It has a pulled in nose for easy transitions, counterbalanced by its unique tail. It features an extremely wide 8-inch straight swallow tail for intense speed and increased spray throughout turns that works just fine thanks to its key fin placement. Fins are further back than usual, making the board very quick combined with performance rails for optimum control. It has four precisely placed belly channels on the bottom which help the board bite into the wave and guide water throughout the fins faster.

‘THE LINK’ 5’9″ x 19 7/8″ x 2 3/8″ SHAPER: Matt ‘Mayhem’ Biolos FINS: Thruster or 5 fin PRICE: £560 (Carbon Wrap) After almost 20 years of traveling to the Basque Country, and shaping at PUKAS, we finally made our link official and have designed this collaboration model…. The Link. This is a special board, designed for the small punchy beach breaks. Super fun and skatey. Not a cruiser, or flat glider, but a high performance board with some rocker and some concave. This is a board that a good surfer can throw around and surf kind of radical, but in a small, fun, beach break kind of way. The Link is available in two techs: standard PU or with “Carbon Wrap” Technology (Stringerless EPS with a Carbon Fibre frame that “wraps” the rails in a strategic point, creating a lively and electric feeling flex, for maximum performance in small surf.)
