My most versatile and well received new shortboard design. This is a very fast design that generates it’s own speed when it’s small, yet holds in and rails tight arcs in the pocket when it’s overhead. The rocker has a flatter area between the feet combined with an even, flowing single-to-inset double concave bottom. This creates a rail line that runs straighter from under the front foot to the lead-in fins, giving the board quick bursts of speed and incredible drive around sections. There is a good amount of tail rocker and release coming off the back fin allowing for lightening quick, explosive turns.

Shaper’s Notes:
all – versatile high performance shortboard – for the widest variety of wave types & sizes
It’s perfect….it’s a perfect board….
I still have never caught a rail on this thing.
It’s fast. It’s epic. I can do anything I want and it doesn’t catch a rail.
I can tell you’re a perfectionist when you shape a board,
because every board I’ve had from you has been perfect.

Todd / Charissa,
Sorry it took so long for me to write but it was awhile before we received some good swell for me to give the board a going over and since then
I have been having the most fun in my life surfing with it.
But before I get to the board I wanted to thank you for the most impressive service I’ve seen in awhile. You both were easily accessible, I never had to wait long for any sort of response to
questions and I felt the service was done with a smile. From Todd calling me in Spain and taking his time to discuss the board with me to Charissa keeping me updated on its progress, the service was high class all the way.
Now about the board….First off it looks totally sick.
The kevlar looks awesome as does the greyish color from the glassing. Combined with the digital camo that you put on the bottom of the board it looks totally insane. I received tons of looks and comments about how incredible it looks and needless to say I love it.
As for the performance,I don’t know what you do Todd but you mustcast a spell or sprinkle magic dust over it or something because thishands down performs better then any other board I have tried.
I thought after reading your testimonials that maybe it was just a lot of hype but no – the board actually contains the properties of magic.
It almost feels like it is spring loaded just waiting to be fired. The best part about it has to be the way it handles turns as this is when it really shows its quality. The speed you get when coming off of the top of the lip is incredible.
You can feel the board ’spring’ off of the top and it feels a little like a sling shot.
I can’t stress enough how much better this aspect of the board is compared to other boards I’ve ridden. I seriously feel like I’m “flying” coming off the lip and down the face. Since I have had the board I feel like I have taken my surfing to a new level and I’m having way more fun in the water.
I also feel like you listened during our consultation interview to what I needed. The board is a nice balance for taking my surfing a level up yet keeping in mind my level of experience and size.
You shaped it spot on.
Anyway I couldn’t have asked for anything more and you can count me as your customer for life. I’ve attached a photo of the underside of the board and will send some more when I can get some shots of it in the water. Keep up the great work and service. If you guys ever head to Spain or Portugal let me know and maybe we can meet up and ride a few.
Muchas gracias por todo. Mis mejores deseos.

Todd,
I think you nailed it. This one is alive. Keeping it a bit straight between the feet really gets it going quickly. It’s almost like I gain speed in tighter areas and don’t need as much room to drive it, lets me keep a higher line effortlessly. It compliments the increased tail rocker perfectly. After hitting the lip I’m going from 12:00 to about 4:00. The first few times caught me by surprise.
There’s nothing like a big hack when you know everyone saw it.
Cutbacks are really tight as well. A minor shift in weight is all it needs.
After 20 or so sessions I’m having a blast with it.
It’s been a while since I’ve been this connected to a board.
Thanks a bunch and God Bless.

yeah Todd….
The new boards are amazing I just got back from the goldcoast I got some sick waves.
I have only been riding the Blackbird and the groveller so far.
The groveler is like a skate board
so loose and fast,
I have been shredding the Bondi shorey’s on it.
The blackbird held in so good on the more punchy waves
at d’ bah and snapper
I could push it as hard as I wanted and it would hold its rail…
EPIC STUFF!
I will let you know how the rest go when I get some more swell…
Im going to go do some whip in airs this week so I should get some nice shots.
Thanks for the boards!!!!!!!
Yew…… Jarrah
