Muléke Daily
The Muléke Daily is your ultimate go-to, daily shortboard. Perfect for Southern California. Not quite your regular shortboard, but not a groveller either, the Muléke Daily is somewhere in between, offering the best of both: paddle power, easy to surf, yet very aggressive and able to handle head-high + days surprisingly well. Solid in the pocket, yet loose off the top. Order it 2 - 3" shorter than your regular shortboard.
Bottom: Full Single to Deeper Double (Recommended)*
Tail: Round-Round, Round-Squash, or Squash
Fins: FCS Fusion, FCS II, or Futures
4'10" - 6'8"
The Iska is the ultimate groveller. With slighty fuller rails and a wider nose and tail, you will get in front of any wave and skate through flat sections to finish with that solid air reverse, big air, or mean hack!
The Iska is for everybody, from the competitive grom to the WCT Pro, it's a fun all-around board.
Bottom: Full Single, or Full Single to Double
Tail: Squash or Swallow
Fins: FCS Fusion or Futures
NEW BOTTOM OPTION: "Deep-Dish" - A deep Double Concave within the fin-cluster, and a more aggressive Vee starting directly behind the front fins has proven a favorite improvement if you are looking for more drive and release!
4'8" - 6'2"
Iska
Samba
4'6" - 5'11"
The Samba introduces a little more aggression to the Iska design. Maintaining the Iska's forward template and nose rocker, it paddles into waves extremely well, but with an increased tail rocker, and narrower tail, the Samba is very snappy (more pivot), riding very vertical!
The Samba is going to make you...well, SAMBA!
Bottom: Full Single to Double to Vee
Tail: Bump Round-Diamond
Fins: FCS Fusion, FCS II, or Futures
5'8" - 6'4"
The El Kap is a unique design that handles a broad range of conditions; it was born from the Beard and Stubble template and surfing style, but the introduction of the Round-Pin allowed the design to handle faster waves really well, fitting in the pocket even on overhead surf, yet, it's an easy to surf board, that will not disappoint on smaller, slower breaks! Caio Husadel's go-to design!
Bottom: Full Single to Vee, or Full Single to Double Vee (The Single Concave allows more "on-rail" surfing).
Tail: Round-Pin
Fins: FCS Fusion, FCS II, or Futures
5'8" - 6'4"
El Kap
Tupi
5'0" - 7'0"
The Tupi is your charger shortboard, the board for the competitive Muléke (from groms to pros) looking to elevate his/her surf in solid waves. More nose and tail rocker allows you to handle late drops as well as pocket and barrel rides with confidence. The Tupi is your travel, step-up board, constantly being refined to deliver the highest performance.
Bottom: Full Single, or Full Single to Double; I will introduce a Vee off the tail depending on the surfer style.
Tail: Squash or Round-Pin
Fins: FCS Fusion, FCS II, or Futures
No, the Beard model has absolutely nothing to do with anybody else's "Beard" model, but everything to do with a great friend and amazing surfer, George Beard! I worked on this design with George to create and improve on an easy to surf, yet progressive design. The Beard borrows the Daily's rockers, but has a fuller nose template and a narrower, double wing round tail for quick responses! The center point is shifted back slightly to further improve on the responsiveness as you transfer your weight to complete turns. The narrower tail also allows for the Beard to handle pocket riding on bigger days extremely well.
Bottom: Full Single to Double to Vee
Tail: Double Wing Round-Round
Fins: FCS Fusion, FCS II, or Futures (5-Fin Standard)
The Beard
5'6" - 6'8"
The Stubble
5'3" - 6'8"
The Stubble is a more forgiving Beard! By "shaving the beard," the Stubble gains a wider tail making it a great board for the bigger Muléke, or surfers transitioning from a bigger, fuller surfboard into a more progressive design.
Bottom: Full Single to Double to Vee
Tail: Round-Squash or Round-Round
Fins: FCS Fusion, FCS II, or Futures (Thruster or 5-Fin Option)
I recommend surfing the Picanha with your favorite quad set of fins + an FCS Knubster for just the right amount of added control!
Picanha
4'5" - 6'0"
The Picanha is the best cut of meat there is; if you ever had one, you know what I am talking about! In Brazil, we don't cut the fat out of this most prized steak so in this new model, the fat is not cut out either, providing great paddle power on a design that should be surfed 4 - 6 inches shorter than your everyday shortboard. The Picanha was inspired from the fun Fresh Catch, but adding more aggression and responsiveness on an easy to surf board. Don't be afraid of the look and volume; this board is your ticket for a guaranteed fun session, high wave count in 0 - shoulder/head-high surf.
Bottom: Full Single to Double to Vee
Tail: Diamond or Square Squash
Fins: FCS Fusion, FCS II, or Futures (5-Fin Standard)
Fresh Catch
The Fresh Catch is a super fun Summer board, but don't let its fullness fool you, it's a skateboard under your feet. With a flat deck line and lower entry rocker, you will get into any wave, but a tuned tail rocker keeps it alive in the pocket allowing you to punt on command and throw some buckets...even on mushy surf! A must have in the Quiver!
Bottom: Full Single to Deeper Double (Recommended)*
Tail: Round-Round
Fins: FCS Fusion, FCS II or Futures (Thruster or 5-Fin Option)
4'9" - 6'0"
Mini
The Mini may still get another name in the future, but for now, it's a unique approach to get the excited, inspired grom (bit by the surf bug) to quickly progress his/her surfing ability. Think of it as a miniature high-performance longboard fine tuned to where you want to go with your surfing ability. As soon as a grom can consistently ride a wave on a foam board, get them into a Mini and you will see the stoke and ability soar!
Bottom: Single, or Full Single to Double; I will introduce a Vee off the tail depending on the surfer.
Tail: Squash, Swallow, Round-Round, Round-Pin, or Diamond
Fins: FCS Fusion, FCS II, or Futures
6'0" - 7'4"
* Recommended design features for a model can and will be adjusted to best fit your ability, style, and goals. Again, it's all about what you want to feel while riding a wave!
