Turn a losing hand into a winning hand with the Wildcard. The Special Projects Division Wildcard 3 is an updated version of Waynes Rich’s classic shape. Still a great noserider and proficient turner, the board maintains many of the attributes that helped Wayne win three Malibu Club contests, including a full template with a wide nose and wide crescent tail.
The crescent tail, initially requested by Joel Tudor, allows water to flow over and out the center of the board’s tail, pushing the tail down and creating lift in the board’s nose. Slight updates to the board's nose concave also assist in noseriding. A rolled bottom in the back third of the board increases control and turn initiation.
If you are looking for a longboard to make you surf, more, and better the Wildcard 3 is for you. Like a Wildcard it can turn a losing hand, or small piddly, waves into something special, but don't take our word for it, try a Wildcard 3 for yourself and see the instant effects it has on your surfing enjoyment.

Professional-level quality should be available to all surfers. Tuflite Professional is the result of 35 years of testing and multiple iterations of Surftech’s innovative moulded construction. An ultra light fused core is moulded for perfect replication of shape every time. The light core allows us to add extra protective layers and manipulate the flex of the board. The lay up consists of a high density deck and bottom layer inserted into a recess in the board, combined with unidirectional carbon rails plus multiple layers of e-glass and biaxial. The result is a drastic improvement in both break strength as well and impact resistance. The process of omega glassing, wrapping and overlapping the recess and rails of the board, is a feat of engineering allowing for added strength without adding weight. Tuflite Professional is the perfect blend of durability and engineered performance, built to elevate your surfing.
