By Carabine Surfboards<br />
Designed for the surfer that is<br />
looking to sit back and enjoy<br />
the glide. A classic shape with<br />
50/50 rails, rolled vee bottom<br />
and a smooth rocker flow will<br />
give you a taste of that smooth<br />
classic 60s board.<br />
CONSTRUCTION 1+2<br />

Redwood T-band and ¼”<br />
Redwood offsets. 8oz Volan<br />
glass and a clear or resin tint<br />

fi n (wood or fiberglass) and a<br />

SHAPER COMMENT<br />
Perfect for point breaks and<br />
mellow reef rides. Beginner to<br />
intermediate surfers.<br />
A real modern classic with a<br />
smooth flowing outline, small<br />
amount of rocker and 60/40<br />
makes this board a great all<br />
around classic style design.<br />
The Retro Classic is extremely<br />
user friendly in mushy to good<br />
surf for all varieties of surfers.<br />
CONSTRUCTION 1+2<br />
Triple redwood stringers, 8oz<br />
Volan glass with deck & tail<br />
patch and a clear or resin tint<br />
fi nish. Single Hobie glass-on<br />
fi n and a timber tailblock.<br />
SHAPER COMMENT<br />
A fast paddler, it glides and<br />
turns smoothly. Perfect for<br />
point breaks and mellow reef<br />
rides. Suits anyone.<br />
This is a conventional<br />
longboard, nice and wide in<br />
the nose, flattened rocker and<br />
double concave vee bottom in<br />
the tail.<br />
CONSTRUCTION 1+2<br />
PU foam, 6 + 4oz deck and<br />
4 + 4 oz on the bottom.<br />
8’-10’ fi n, with a set of GL’s in<br />
the sides.<br />
SHAPER COMMENT<br />
Easy to ride, with good flow.<br />
Ideal for Bellambi Pools<br />
(I think that says it all).<br />
Drifter has some of<br />
the smoothest riding<br />
characteristics of any board<br />
you’ll ever ride. The pinched,<br />
hulled nose sets her up on<br />
a plane effortlessly when<br />
paddling. The gentle bottom<br />
curvature makes for smooth rail<br />
transitions, and critically does<br />
not drive you unintentionally<br />
and needlessly ahead of the<br />
wave’s curl, as is common with<br />
flat bottom profiles.<br />
CONSTRUCTION X 1<br />
Volan top and bottom with<br />
cool patches. Glassed on 10”.<br />
