  • Pointed Nose Option

    Pointed Nose Option

    The Modern Planing hull is an incredibly versitle design. Lately ive made a few MPH's with the pointed nose for the main stream consumer look. My best apraisal of the difference between the pointed and round nose is that, the round nose will give the rider a more lighter whiping turn and will less likely pearl in a tight pocket scenario, pointed nose models feel a little more drawn out through the turn which is suited to wave faces overhead. If you happen to dig the...

    The Wizard Slayer is the real Mc Coy.

    I am a huge Kelly Slater fan. The guy is a super mind and a super athlete and credit to him for being a truly inspired human.Ive noticed over the years and especially in the Second half of his career ,most of Kelly’s go to boards have been clean radius round tails.Simply put, the Wizard Slayer is a Symmetrical double ended outline (nose and tail measurements are equal) with standard shortboard widths and foil (foam distribution)Further credit for this design goes to...

    V4. codename: 'R-Wing'

    The V4 is an incredible performer, a truly state of the art design for 2012.Inspired yet again by the tail variables of the Raptor fighter Jets and executed as a planing hull design with the premise of finding the perfect balance of maximum planing area through the tail vs ideal direct control through turns.A slight modification to V2 design minus the split (fish tail aspect) or a variation of the V3, the V4 tail design features a relatively shallow 1 ” swallow-tail,...

    The Solidification of the Modern Planing Hull Concept June 2009

    The month of June 2009 was a huge moment in my designing career. It was the penny drop moment when the whole Parallel outline planing hull mini board concept gelled in my mind.My Hydrofoil range was moving through the second faze of refinement, i was starting to apply some more technical angular tails and vector concaves to the boards and a little 5'2" rounded nose Raptor was exciting me on the prospect of going even smaller and straighter in the foils.Sacred Craft...

  • Modernism in the Next Gen

    Modernism in the Next Gen

    The year is 2011. Surfing has evolved. The time has come for the equipment to evolve as the surfer's mind expands and athletisism bounds out and beyond. Planing hull technology moves to the forfront, with space age manufacturing in aid of the quest. The board sport cross over beckons. Freeminds in Sea-Space will recreate the present and lead the way for the future. Bring on the Next Gen.Tomo.
