Unrivaled, unprecedented, and pure fun; the ‘DOPE MACHINE’ is the first of our collaboration series with long-time ‘MAD MINDS’ Advocate George Henderson of ‘A DEAD COFFIN CLUB’.
Fundamentally, it is a combination of a classic high wide point funboard, almost reminiscent of a 70’s single fin spawned with a modern fish or hybrid. The signature diamond tail gives the board a shorter rail line, so the water breaks earlier which creates an early pivot point for a wildly responsive, tighter turning board that also allows for positioning in more critical parts of a wave.
The rail volume is reduced slightly, the rocker is increased and the bottom concave is charged up for damn a lively ride. True to the name, the “DOPE MACHINE” is one TUFF customer. It’s a little-known fact that before the invention of transparent, high-impact polycarbonate, the L.A.P.D. used DOPE MACHINEs as riot shields during the ‘big bruise up of ‘88’.
Primitek by Misfit
Whether you’re a primitivist á la Gauguin or a minimalist like Mies Van der Rohe we know you believe the essence of a thing is its true value and that kitsch accouterment is for the birds. You know that real creative expression happens on the wave and what you need are a great design and purist performance.
Bienvenu à Primitek. By keeping the construction simple we’ve found our boards built in Primatek perform as an extension of surfers’ instincts. Intuitively connecting your imagination and ability in a creative collision of a primal past and an ethereal future, Primitek is the blank slate and firm foundation for you to build your masterpiece.
