SCORCHER
Developed with Kolohe Andino for his all around contest needs. Kolohe had been riding the SD2 exclusively in contests for years. The low tail rocker and spiral vee out the back gave a great combo of drive and maneuverability, but sometimes felt sticky in tight pockets. In ’08 we had been playing with The STEALTH and he loved the quick, tight radius pocket surfing it allowed, but never felt confident using one in heats. His trademark carving style relied on the SD2s drive. In an effort to loosen up his surfing, and retain drive, we combined the two into….The SCORCHER. Featuring the same low entry rocker, forward outline and rear rail line rocker of the Stealth, but the wide bump squash, and vee out the back from the SD2. By lowering the Stealth’s center line rocker and keeping the rail line the same…we created a deep vee out the tail ( with more carving drive) hybrid of the SD2/STEALTH. Kolohe used this model to win 3 National titles last summer at Lowers. Gorkin won the 2009 ECSC and 3 other Pro events this year on one. This board is all ready the rage amongst the custom order crew. Ride about 2″ shorter 1/8″ thinner and 1/4″ wider than an F1 or Whiplash type short board. |

SUB-SCORCHER
(AKA…The Trashcan Lid) “I wanna board for 1′ mush. Something really short n wide, but still a shortboard….. something like Danes board” -Kolohe Andino. The challenged was laid down. Starting with an old SD2: We squashed the dims to 5’5″x18.63″x 2.13″, lowered the entry rocker and shallowed the concave through the center to straighten the rail line (for drive) and make it easier to lay such a wide platform over on a rail. Viola’! Our stubbiest shortboard yet, but it still carves like a real board. Kolohe wanted call it “The Trashcan Lid” because you don’t need to go dumpster diving to get one of these! Think 4-6″ shorter than a high performance shortboard and same dims as the Shark! Board shown 5’5″ 18.63″ 2.18. |

F-1
(Formula 1) – Is inspired by the ultimate performance of F1 racing cars, featuring the perfect combination of speed and turning. Everything I have learned in 20 years of shaping, influenced by working with the best shapers and surfers in the world culminates into this. It’s what I consider to be the perfect combination of both drive and glide, with both carving arcs and tight radius turning. It features design elements from every high performance model we have ever made (From the SD series to the Whiplash and Psycho Ward) and influence from the world’s best surfers and shapers. Simply put, it’s our take on the modern, cutting edge, high performance short board. Now also available in FST technology. |

F1-STUB
New competition shortboard for 2010. During 2009, as the F1 became a board of choice for many Pro surfers and team riders, the low end limitations of the design were becoming apparent. Looking to make the F1 excel in smaller gutless surf, we widened and slightly lowered the rocker in the nose for forward glide, then added a bump hip to the outline, to make the tail wider in front of the fins and at the tail block (adding drive and lift, while leaving the width the same at the 12” mark for control). The tail rocker and rails remain the same as the original F1, but a slightly thicker foil into the nose and tail keeps you on top of the water at low speeds. Ride ½” to 1” shorter than an F1. |
|
CW CLASSIC
In the summer of 1995, with the urging of a 16 year old Chris Ward (when the average shortboard was 6’2 “ x 18” wide), I started experimenting with shorter, wider, high performance shortboards. Long before we had any specific “models” or an actual surfboard line, Chris and I came up with this board that was much wider and shorter than the standard of the time. In the “One Week in October” segment of “Whats Really Goin’ Wrong” Chris is riding a 5’10” x 19” wide, strong bump, squashtail thruster. Featuring a blend of late 80’s outline and mid 90’s (hyper extended) nose rocker, concaves, and moderate tail rocker. The sessions in that movie netted Chris numerous published fotos worldwide, including the classic Larry “Flame” Moore, cover of SURFING magazine. The fotos and subsequent video release set the momentum for both Chris’ and my careers, as well as bringing worldwide notoriety to the then fledgling …Lost clothing and Mayhem surfboard brands. Now, in conjunction with the release of “What Really WENT Wrong” (The very best of…lost videos, 1993-1999), We are offering replicas of this board complete with original (no planet) …Lost logos and the same paint pen design I did myself 15 years ago. - Matt Biolos 2009 |

THE PLANK
Sometimes, when it’s really small and mushy down at Trestles, I will ride a longboard. One day last summer I was doing so and tried a friends ” Mini Simmons” twin keel, retro board shaped by one of the guys who shape these types of boards. It had a longboard nose, completely parallel rails, a massive square tail and some crazy, roll to vee to concave, bottom curves. It caught waves and glided across sub knee high lumps like my 9’6″. All though I needed to surf it gingerly, it could turn easily, at low speeds, on even the smallest, most gutless, waves. Months later, I had a “Green Foam” recycled foam, fish blank in my shape room and The New York Times came to do a story on “Green foam”. I proceeded to shape the blank by hand (with my planer) while they filmed and shot fotos (seen here) for the story. Using no templates or measurements of any kind, I attacked the 6’0″ blank like a high school sculpture project…. All the time thinking about that strange board I had ridden months prior. The blank was pretty thin, so I left the deck flat. It’s really wide, so I didn’t want any concave. Looking for ridiculous glide, but demanding aggressive turning, I left it really straight rockered, but did a little flip out the back. I made it a strong bump, diamond tail. In place of the twin keels, and hoping for a positive, reliable feeling, I chose to make it a quad, and used a Future Fins, split keel, concept fin we have been playing with as the template. It sat in my room for months. Finally, I fine tuned it and got it glassed. The board you see here is that board. It’s about 6’0″ x 22″ x 2.5 full”. I rode it only once. It’s the easiest board I have ever ridden in waves I would normally only bother with on a longboard. It catches anything and does full rail roundhouse cutbacks on 10″ high lumps of water. I haven’t made a second one yet. But if you like the way it looks, and want a truly unique and extreme small wave tool to keep you off that log, then think about custom ordering one of these. I guarantee you won’t be let down. Think: 6’2″ x 22.50″ x 2.75″, 5’10″ x 21″ x 2.5″, 5″8 x 20.50″ x 2.38″, 5’6″ x 20″ x 2.25″, 5″4″ x 20″ x 2.13″, 5’2″ x 19.50″ x 2.03″. |

WHIPLASH!
More traveling pro surfers have come to us for the Whiplash than any other model. Three of four mens finalists (Cory Lopez, Ben Bourgious and Gabriel Villarian) at the 2009 ISA World Championships in Costa Rica were riding a Whiplash. Built for precision high speed surfing. Low volume rails, and vee deck with a narrow nose and tail block combine with an aggressive rail rocker and deep concaves to keep it moving, making this the most sensitive and responsive board we offer. Not recommended for below average surfers or for use in sloppy surf. This board performs best in the pocket of curvy waves of any size. Recent tweaks have netted a more user friendly board in moderate surf. |
|
PSYCHO WARD
(Chris Ward Pro Model) – Updated rocker and outline for 2010 make this “most interesting pro model” a good choice for the power surfing, air punting nihilist in all of us. Designed to handle power surfing in weak to average waves. The rails, rocker and outline are forgiving for quick recovery from rail burying turns. Great all around board for an intermediate or higher level of surfer that pushes hard. |
|
SDII
The “Every man’s short board” features a moderate entry rocker and low, drivey tail rocker, with a hyper extended rail line in the tail (creating a pronounced vee behind the rear fin), flattish deck, full forgiving outline and rails, with a single to double concave bottom. The SD-II has evolved into an international favorite for the every day surfer and is one of the most popular surfboard models on the planet. It’s a board for the average surfer looking for slightly wider standard dims than the pro’s potato chips, without sacrificing maneuverability. Also of note – this is our most popular board on both ends of the size spectrum. The design translates well to small mini-grom boards like Kolohe Andino’s contest winners (the drivey rocker and full outline forces traditional carving and power surfing into young kids) and also makes a great Big Guy Short board in the 6’6″ to 7’6″ range. |
|
CHILLI 7 CURVE
This board has a subtle consistent rocker making it the curviest board in the Chilli range. The full board rocker demands a deep concave to create flow and a pulled back fin cluster for increased drive. This is the board where you stand up, set your feet (once) then get busy, only adjusting your weight from front to back foot. The 7curve has been a welcome addition to the quiver of the majority of pros throughout 2009. Tail: Squash |
|
THE ROCKET
Must be ridden to be believed! Originally shaped as a 5’3″ for Shane’s young son Noah by former …Lost shaper and pro surfer Noah Budroe. The board features a wide forward outline with round forgiving rails, flat deck and a wide “rocket” tail. The rocker is extremely low in the entry, for instant speed, with an exaggerated kick in the tail for tight arcs out of turns. A small to average wave all-rounder that can be effectively ridden 4″ to 6″ shorter, 1/8″ thinner, and just slightly wider than your normal short board without sacrificing any carve or drive. |
|
ROCK-UP
(Step up Rocket) – If a Rocket has become your favorite daily board, and you find it frustrating switching back to a traditional, pointy nose step-up board on bigger, crowded days …then this board is for you. Designed to be ridden 2-4” longer than you would a Rocket. The low entry rocker and full forward outline paddles through crowds and moving water, and catches waves with ease. The pulled in tail, combined with the aggressive tail rocker and a smoother, shallower concave, allows controlled maneuvers at high speeds on head high to double overhead waves. |
|
THE GROCKET
Pulled in Single wing swallow tail (for tight radius control and precision) and a touch more nose rocker make this hybrid of the Rocket the choice for light, fast, snappy surfers… like Gorkin. |
|
THE SQUASH-IT
Placing a typical shortboard squash tail on the Rocket takes some area out of the tail, shortens the rail line and makes for a predictable, less drifty, neutral ride |
|
BLUNT
My new favorite board! While surfing the mushy point and beach breaks of San Clemente, I am always looking for a board that paddles easily, glides across flats, and carves mush, yet still allows vertical turning and snaps in the pocket. Influenced by the jumbo wide tails of 80’s Laser Zap style boards (and well aware of other wide round tail boards in the market that don’t feature modern profiles or performance) I built a board designed around a modern thickness flow, rails, and bottom curves , but with an extra-extra wide round tail to stay on top of the water. Tossing out the “no nose” theory of the past, I kept the outline up front wide and curvy as well. The round tail encourages flowing turns, and rolls tight in the pocket. The rocker is low throughout (for speed and glide) , but with an aggressive acceleration in the tail. The rail rocker “hangs” lower than the center line in the rear half, creating a radically deep concave and curvey rail line through the fins. This makes for extreme lift, and fast tight arc‘d turns out of the tail. The bottom rail is tucked all the way through the fins, so you can get it up on a rail and not slide out too easily. Riding this board is the most fun I have ever had in typical waist to chest high Trestles surf. I couldn’t recommend it more. Ride it short n wide for the full effect! |

MOTIVATOR
If there was one complaint about the Rocket in 2009, it was that some average surfers didn’t feel it was a full on groveler (It’s not). We were told that it wasn’t easy to “get going” in 1’ junk. So knowing that it takes more than hacking a Triscuit out of a slab of foam to make a great hi-performance groveler, we went to work making a board to “Motivate” people to get out and surf in that 1’ junk. How to turn a “Rocket” into a super groveler…in 4 easy steps. -Thicken the nose (and add a beak nose to abruptly thin out the tip) and tail to add flotation without increasing overall thickness. -Lower the tail rocker along the stringer line (to add drive and resistance to rear foot in mushy waves) but leave the rail rocker as curvy as it was (creating a strong “V” behind the rear foot) so the board still has that magic, tight turning radius when put on a rail. - Flatten the deck and put a full, steep rail for stability and paddle power , then add a volume reducing “step rail” to the last 6” of the tail , to add bite and make “real” turns in small surf easier. Best of all, it doesn’t feel like you’re riding a breakfast sandwich. Feel free to ride this one 1-2” shorter, and up to ½ “ wider than a Rocket. |

ROUND NOSE FISH
The world’s all-time best selling fish model. During the filming of 5’5″ REDUX, the RNF and RNF Quad were updated and fine tuned. The nose has gotten wider again, and more conservative overall rocker and less concave make for a board that will hold speed in flats and produce harder, longer carves. A longer, less pronounced vee in the tail gives a more predictable feel out of turns, and a straighter outline adds drive and hold. The deep wing, influenced by MR’s vintage twin fins, adds more control of high speeds and better bite in snaps and out of carves. It still paddles great, still makes you look good, but the updates allow harder, more powerful carving turns and a wider range of performance in more varied surf. Enjoy playing with a multitude of fin setups. The RNF is designed as a twin with rear trailer, but works great as a pure twin fin or try all three standard thrusters for different feels in different conditions. |
|
MONK FISH
Influenced by the high volume, nose to tail vee bottom MR retro models I rode a lot the last few years. Without being tied to recreating boards from the past, we have developed what we feel is an awesome post modern redux. The nose to tail vee bottom is a great, and now mostly overlooked, design that allows for thicker, high volume boards to still be sensitive rail to rail and not surf “flat” on the water. Vee bottoms also go through chop like a hot knife through butter and glide smoothly in windblown slop. The thickness, extremely flat deck, and width give extreme paddle power and stability. The steep rails and forward wide point give incredible drive and the pulled in nose tip with a deceptively healthy amount of rocker allow for tight radius surfing not usually associated with “retro fish” type boards. Now available as single wing round pin tail (for a wider range of surf) as seen under the feet of Cory Lopez surfing the “Holy Grail of Surf Discoveries” in 5’5″ x 19 ¼” REDUX . |
|
RAWSON IMPALA
(2+1) The Rawson Impala starts off with a modernized version of his faithful ’77 single fin outline template, wider up front with noticeable volume underneath your chest. This enhances the volume vs the short length of the board and makes paddling into waves or gliding over flat spots perceptively easier… After that, it is all 2010 design additions!!! Rails, bottom contour, concaves and fin design all take the confidence of this shape and throw in a heavy dose of performance. The Impala comes standard with three Futures or FCS boxes and can be ridden as twin only, or twin with a small trailer or standard tri-fin set up depending on the conditions and surfer preference. The stock set up off the rack is a twin fin template with small back trailer. With Futures: the twins are larger TF1, with trailer. With FCS: the twins are larger MR-X, while the trailer is an FCS GX. |
|
THE STEALTH
A high performance, secret weapon hybrid. A “short board that surfs like the Rocket”. We started with the idea of “hiding” our Rocket model into the guise of a pointed nose performance short board. We extended the nose and added rocker, but kept a lot of volume foil. The tail is slightly more pulled in behind the rear foot and features a more radical “fang” in the rocket tail to add range and control in tight turns. The combination of extreme tail rocker and deep concave provides lift and unparalleled turning radius. The Low entry rocker with a short board nose template gives a longer rail line for drive and arc. Full, soft rails keeps everything easy for everyone. Comes standard as a 5 fin “Convertible Quiver Killer”. Ride approx 4″ longer than a Rocket, or 2″ shorter than a high performance short board. Available in FST technology. |
|
STEALTH PRO
Team riders immediately loved the Stealth, mainly as a groveler or extreme junk contest board. Before long they were asking for “The same board, but with my shortboard rails, and a regular squash tail”. So we did it and handed them out for everyone to try. We received almost unanimous feedback saying that we had successfully converted the “Rocket” into a performance shortboard. Throughout 2009 it was an underground favorite. Nearly every teamrider, hot grom, and random pro who got boards from us rode The Stealth Pro. Ward, Ian Walsh, Kolohe, Cory Lopez, and dozens of contest groms were ordering them by name. Coco Ho used one to Win the 2009 WQS, The Rip Curl “Search” WCT event in Portugal (Her first WCT win, at 18 years of age) and was named the 2009 ASP Rookie of the Year. Now, in 2010, we have it in the lineup for the public as well. |
|
5 FIN SHARK
A versatile design that comes standard with a 5 fin setup, for a one board quiver. Designed with low entry rocker, a flat deck, and full steep rails for built in speed and stability. Great board for average surfers in junk surf, and meant to be ridden 2-4″ shorter and 1″ wider than a typical shortboard. It features a wide tail and a full but pointed nose outline. A shallow, conservative concave (to help negate the added width) from forward of center through the front fins to a double concaved vee behind the back foot. Great small wave board for average ability surfers. Works great in broken up surf and mushy walls, paddles fast, makes you look good. This year’s version features new “Super Swallow” tail. |
|
GLIDER
Is the result of efforts to design a board that covers a lot of ground paddling and catches waves in crowded surf of all sizes without sacrificing maneuverability or performance. The limitations of fish and fish type designs are when stretching out the length for good waves they tend become straight and clunky. Longer short boards tend to become needle-y and not paddle or “glide” as easily. The Glider solves this problem. Designed to be ridden from 2-10″ longer than the surfer is tall, it has a curvy elliptical outline that keeps it free on the face of the wave; and a very low and ridiculously fast entry rocker with an aggressive tail rocker that accelerates from center. The combination makes a board that effortlessly catches waves and “glides” yet still carves full rail turns in the pocket when asked to. By default, it also makes a great intermediate surfer’s all-rounder. |
|
SDIII
First released in ’06, and was the best response we‘ve ever had for a new Shortboard model. This year’s version features our latest fine tuned rocker and bottom contours and that classic SD3 outline. Built with a vee deck to boxy, yet sensitive rail. The rocker is long and straight through the middle with accentuated kick in the nose and tail allowing it to carry through flats, fit in tight pockets, and lay on a rail. |
|
THE DEAL
Shane Beschen Pro Model: Designed to be ridden 1-2″ smaller than your normal board. The design allows drawn out front foot carves as well as tight radius snaps when needed. The outline and rocker are straighter than average, with a hip in the outline and healthy tail kick in the last few inches to allow quick snaps in shorter waves. |
|
SD-LUX
A user friendly performance short board, sold with upgraded materials and components. A subtle double bump squash takes area out of the tail to allow more bite and control, while still maintaining lift. Comes standard with FCS, GMB Performance Core RTM fins and “S-Glass” lamination. |
|
1997 RNF CLASSIC
Ridden to fame by Cory Lopez and Chris Ward in the classic video, 5’5″ x 19 ¼”. Exact replicas of one of Cory’s boards from the film, complete with glass on fins (with FCS trailer) and old school logos. Each board is hand signed and numbered by both Cory Lopez and Chris Ward, as well as shaper Matt Biolos. |
|
STEP UPS & MINI GUNS
Everyone should have one! Designed as a primary travel board, or for the best days at home, unless you live in Hawaii. This board paddles strong and holds in at high speeds yet still turns wherever and whenever you need it. The bottoms feature a fine single concave from just forward of the front foot through most of tail, with just a hint of vee behind the back fin. GUNS- If you’re going to charge, you want the confidence of proven designs and we can custom make boards for any size or situation. Our guns have never had more refinement than in the last couple years and we’re more exited than ever in making guys the best board they ever had for those rare magic days. |
