Soul solution

Specifications: 6’4″ x 21 1/2″ x 2 3/4″ • Shaper: John Purton • RRP: £610

This is for the smooth style surfer who is looking for glide with stylish effortless seventies surfing in mind, with subtle vee combined with concaves and foiled rails for bite, control and down the line projection.

Twin Town

Specifications: 6’4″ x 20 3/4″ x 3″ • Shaper: John Purton

One of the best designs in the history of surfing the Twin Fin has been majorly overlooked but those who consider them to be unworthy should remember Mark Richards, Larry Bertlemann and Martin Potter to name a few troubadours of this wolf in sheep’s clothing. Amazingly versatile if set up correctly this board can handle a variety of waves from average to pumping! It’s about changing your mind set from standard same old aggressive thruster surfing to flowing with the speed and harnessing the extra freedom in the tail. Three major things for a good twinnie 1: rail shape 2: volume distribution 3: fin position. Ask Fergal Smith how they go! Subtle single with a double inside fading to a shallow vee tail and magic rocker.

Specifications: 9’4″ x 23″ x 3 1/8″ • Shaper: John Purton • RRP: £875

Single concave in the nose to smooth rolled vee through to the tail.

Gold Series two

Specifications: 9’1″ x 22 1/2″ x 3″ • Shaper: John Purton • RRP: £750

The single stringer is a great all rounder. Acid wash tail dip gives it major appeal but the bottom contour has single concave into a rolled vee which incorporates a double concave making it super smooth and fast with great nose riding ability.
