Smik Hipster Twin Pin Tail SUP.

Being added alongside the swallow tail version of the Hipster twin is the twin pin version . It's a smalll subtle difference that actually makes quite a large difference in feel. But couldn't replace the swallow tail for the for the fact that nothing would match the swallow tails combination of speed and acceleration. ​

What it does provide however is:

• The ability to drive more vertically up the face.
• Smoother rail to rail transition.
• Ability to pivot turn more vertically off the top. Rolling on the curves off the pin int he tail.
• Sits in the hollower part of wave a little better, a la when it's barrelling.
• Fabric play rails.

Varying graphics that make it impossible to chip the rails with the paddle, eliminating the need for rail tape.

2022 Smik Spitfire 3.0

New Shape! New Construction - almost 1 kilo lighter with the full carbon construction.

SPITFIRE 3.0 -The Spitfire evolves into a new shape refined to be the board of choice for those looking for unbridled performance once the waves get hollower and or larger with the ability to handle and create speed in waves. A continuous smooth rocker which creates yet controls speed, working in harmony with low apex moderate volume rails that provide control yet maintain drive all the way through an arc.

High performance through a broad range of conditions. Generation of speed when marginal where the more you push the more you get out of it. The ability to project vertically whilst drawing the smoothest of lines. Graphic look is a classic understated look to appeal to a broad spectrum of tastes.

Almost 1kg lighter than the previous model.

Smik Wind Wing V4.

Smik managed to further surpass handling, control and speed with a combination of materials which helps the SMIK wing maintain its performance traits further into its lifespan. Canopy With the use of the heavier grade (81grm-m2) Challenge code tec 95P fabric, not only does it’s its shape held better whilst overpowered, it also has a super responsive crisp feeling. The life span of this material is also FAR superior. With extensive testing over a West Australian summer the wing utilising this material although weathered, held its original shape from when it was first pulled out of the bag. The coloured leading edge fabric is the traditional weight (54grm-m2) which allows the wing to breathe a little better in pumping up onto the foil and not feeling too rigid.

Smik Carbon Paddle.

Blending Fibreglass and Carbon Fibre brings a combination of light weight, high performance and low cost compared to full carbon fibre alternatives.

Smik Wing/SUP foil board carbon.

In the ever rapidly evolving times of wing board development the Smik foil boards have evolved with the optimum balance of early lift with minimal friction/drag when rails and tails catch on the water when flying or turning. Retail and customers are already finding them to be a market leader in terms of performance and a marked improvement on the previous incarnation.

Nose Volume has been reduced to reduce swing weight enhancing reactivity, whilst being less effected by wind, without reducing stability.

A refined chined rail has been further enhanced to reduce the catching of rails when they come into contact with the water, pulling in at the tail for pulling tighter carves, where the tail has a propensity to touch the surface, reducing the effects of catching ​ Kicker in the rocker is maintained as it certainly sell helps to reduce water catching, but has been shortened to increase the flat in the rocker to enhance early lift off.

Footstrap and foil positioning in relationship to this volume is what's critical, where Smik feel they have the balance just right for the perfect flight.

The outline maintains width in the nose and tail for stability whilst maintaining an aesthetically pleasing surf style look. The new hipped pintail maintains area at the back foot, whilst combining with the bottom shape of the chine, pulling in behind the back foot. The reason being during tighter turns and coming off the lip, quite often the corners of the tail would be catching as you tend to ride lower to the water in tight turns to keep foil tips from breaching and cavitating.

Smik Hipster Twin Pin Longboard SUP.

The Hipster Longboard is by design a very different board to the Style Lord. Evolving from the much loved Hipster Twin, the bottom contours and outline were stretched into the longboard variant. The single concave runs from the nose all the way through the board which feeds into a double concave towards to the tail with a slight Vee running out the tail. This produces a lot of speed and lift when you initiate a rail, with the double concave softening the single concave between the feet through chop, accelerating water flow and exhausting water out through the tail. With the line drive which comes from a longer board, customers have exclaimed they’ve made It around sections they would have never made before. When you step back to the tail, put the board on rail and start to drive, is where this is a longboard in a league of its own. Full speed accelerating shortboard turns built into a longboard. The carving sensation is also enhanced with super fine sensitive rails blocking out through the tail. Nose riding is unaffected with the loss of the larger single fin, with the larger side fins being ample to keep you tacking whilst "up the front". Hipster Twin Longboard Edition: Short board performance turns infused into a longboard.

The Style Lord is a performance longboard shape designed for smooth carves, a timeless soul arch or a little walk up the nose. I' also very agile when stepping back onto the tail, for a board that size. Shape Nose rocker single concave with new bevelled rails make it even more of a nose riding delight.

Fine and rounded rails provide response without bogging. The area forward has also been increased to make for effortless nose riding. Outline curves are smooth resulting in the easy initiation of carves, with hip between the feet allowing the board to come around hard on rail.

The squash tail provides a squirty sensation from the straightening of the outline in the tail. Rolled V and double concaves through the middle allows mid board turning and accelleration while at the tail combines to produce tight driven turns. ​

These boards are at home in small powerless waves with good glide, but take them out in a bit of juice and they’ll be more than capable of holding a line in larger surf.
