The Hammer

The Hammer was originally inspired by an early 90’s board that Luke Short had laying around the back of his factory in Yamba.

Shaping one up for Noa as a bit of a novelty, Luke drew a slightly more contemporary version, adding a touch of nose area together with a smoother entry rocker.

"It was during his first surf on the board that Noa’s friend and filmer, Mikey Mallalieu sent us a screen grab of one of the most vicious turns we had ever seen. A Hammer. We soon realised this was no novelty board and suited Noa's power surfing, especially in conditions that have plenty of push."

After getting back from Hawaii early 2020, Noa kept working on refining the model with Luke, and surprisingly found himself riding The Hammer model during most surfs.

This has become a favourite of LSD team riders and close friends. Creed McTaggart has been a big fan doing some incredible modern day rail surfing drawing some truly beautiful lines, and Kai McKenzie has been showing how versatile this model can be by hucking some massive airs on it.

The Hammer excels in good to great surf, although any wave that gives you a bit of time to open up on rail allows the Hammer to shine.

A joy to ride this board could very well change your surfing for the better. The type of surfing your heart really wants to do, not three forced wiggles to the beach, if you catch our drift.

You can play around with the length & dimensions depending on the type of surf you want to ride this model in, but as a rough guide we would recommend ordering it one or two inches longer, and slightly narrower than your day to day shorty.
