Description
Wayne Rich – Singularity – Carbon – FCS II – 2 +1 Fin
Proud to offer these boards! A nod to the Physicists, the Singularity model derives its name from the hypothetical attributes ascribed to the center of a black hole. Infinite in its matter and potential the Singularity is a surfboard beyond the conception of mortal man’s understanding of the universe.
Many have hypothesized what lies inside the core of her design, but none knows for sure, except for its creator Wayne Rich who to this day refuses to say more than, “The design came to me as a child and through an evolution of experiences molded into the form you see before you today.”
Waynes remarks aside; “Einstein may have come closest to describing the essence of the Singularity in plain terms when he defined the Singularity as infinite to the point of nothingness.” At this point, it seems the Singularity can only be understood by experiencing its ride.
Unfortunately, all reports from riders recount a complete loss of objective reality followed by a transcendence through time and space to a place where perception is less about seeing the outside world and more about connecting in total oneness with the world as a whole. To date, interpreting these rider reviews has only led to more questions than answers.
Preliminary metrics gathered by scientists and recently uncovered photographs suggest that Singularity riders did seem to spend more time in the barrel and traverse across the wave at shockingly high speed while maintaining abnormally low heart rate levels. Extended observations of those who rode the Singularity in good waves showed an increase in good vibes and a 90% greater chance of throwing a shaka.
Extensive hair growth in the facial region was also noticed in habitual riders of the Singularity. Further study is still needed to achieve a better understanding of the Singularity, but for now, we can confidently say the board is yewww!

Construction
Premium materials meet the elite production process in Surftech’s vacuum bagged Carbon Construction. The trifecta of surfboard construction Carbon is light, durable and responsive. Wayne Rich decided Carbon construction was the perfect opportunity to bring a new feel to the Singularity’s classic modern design.
- FUSED CELL EPS CORE // Closed cell EPS core provides more response + flotation
- CLEAR HD-EPOXY RESIN // Epoxy resin with high thermo-mechanical performances
- HIGH QUALITY CARBON FIBER // Carbon fiber has an unmatched strength-to-weight ratio among all engineered technical reinforcements.
- ULTRA FIN E-GLASS // Each board is capped in an ultra-fine, lightweight layer of Eglass as a final protective seal.
THERE ARE MANY ASPECTS TO SURFBOARD SELECTION THESE ARE THE POINTS TO CONSIDER
LENGTH
Typically surfboards are measured in inches. The length is measured from the nose to the tail. Choosing the length of the surfboard is dependant on your size (weight, height), board type and waves conditions you wish to use the board for.
WIDTH
The widest point of the surfboard is measured from rail to rail. Generally the wider the surfboard the more stable the board, while a board with smaller width maintains better speed and performance.
BOARD THICKNESS
Surfboard thickness is measured from the top deck to the bottom. The thickness again has a bearing on the board’s performance. Professional surfers will tend to go for the thinner boards as they are lighter and offer better performance.The thicker boards are stronger and because there is more foam under the surfer the boards are more stable.
ROCKER
The bottom curve of a surfboard. Generally the more rocker the surfboard has the more loose (manoeuvrable) the surfboard will be. Where the flatter rocker surfboards will be faster, although they will lack the looseness. The nose is the tip of the surfboard, the nose can vary in shapes and size. Basically the thinner the nose the more response the board will perform, while wider noses are better for stabilization.
STRINGER
Used to increase the strength of a surfboard, a stringer (normally made from wood) runs down the length of a surfboards (typically in the centre of the board from the tip of the nose to the tail).
Boards built with Epoxy, Carbon Fibre and soft boards generally don’t have stringers.
FINS
Generally heavier surfers require larger fins to hold the waves better. Although if you prefer to ride a looser (less hold in the waves), smaller fins would be a better option.
FIN CONSIDERATIONS
Fin configurations have an effect on the ways your surfboards perform.
The following are some of the more common fin configurations.
SINGLE FIN
The single fin was the original fin configuration for surfboards. Based on the idea of the sailboat keel. Single fins are added stabilization and control on the powerful, larger waves, although lack manoeuvrability
TWIN FIN
Are great for small waves, being fast and manoeuvrable, but when put into tight spots on larger waves, they become hard to control. Popular with Fish surfboards.
THRUSTER 3 FIN
Widely recognized as the standard fin configuration, the thruster answers the shortcomings of the single fin and the twin fins configurations.
The thrusters give you stabilization, control and manoeuvrability in all types of surfing conditions.
This concept was the brainchild of Australia’s Simon Anderson
QUADS 4 FINS
With four fins in the water, Quads boasts an extraordinary amount of holding power in larger surf.
You may think that having four fins would sacrifice speed by creating more drag, but this is not the case.
The both sets of fins are working together on the rail, which makers believe they creates less drag than a board with a centre fin.
The manoeuvrability isn’t sacrificed either, with fins directly under your back foot, the quads are very responsive.
KEEL
Similar setup to the Twin Fin, although smaller (low profile) fins are generally placed wider (closer to the rails) on the surfboard.
Popular with Fish and Egg / Retro surfboards.
