More Information
Introducing the Flat Earth: a board built to shred ankle high to overhead surf. Designed by Akila Aipa and dialed-in by Kelly Slater, this model is ready to be your go-to board whatever the conditions of the day.
Finesse and flow in waves chest to head high, sized at your normal shortboard volume or a couple liters more.
Experiment with a twin + trailer or twin without trailer, because this shape surfs on a spectrum from loose and slidey in smaller sizes with two twin fins, to grippy and drivey in larger sizes with a trailer added.
In summary, let the Flat Earth blow your mind as a twin fin, or sip the serum in doses with a trailer fin.
Feel the speed.
Hit the lip.
Bury the rail.
As Akila’s dad – the great, surfer-shaper Ben Aipa – would say, “HOOK IT!”
What people are saying about it:
“I highly recommend the Flat Earth for Intermediate – Pro level surfers in 2-6′ surf. I suggest sizing up roughly 2-3L more compared to your favorite Daily Driver. My height: 5’9″ weight: 160 lb or 72.57 kg.” – Noel of Surf n Show Reviews
“Glad I went up as the board goes amazing and doesn’t feel any bigger than one of my ‘normal’ boards. My shortboards are usually 6’0″ – 6’1″ and 33 – 34L, I went the 6’0″ 36L Flat Earth and its perfect.” – Wooly TV
“The Flat Earth is so fun to ride and it’s so user friendly! I personally love it as a twin (MR twin set).” – Skipper Surf Review
“Picked one of these up and it is amazing.. advice on sizing up slightly and fin choices for wave type was super helpful, the board really is fast!” – user Evan S on YouTube
“This board is sick, took out a freshie this morning with the MR’s my only comment is my turns wanted to round out more because of the area in that fin it wanted to follow me more that what I’m use to. I put in the Machado fcs2 keel fins and plan on giving it a go in the morning. Yeeew!!!!” – user Miguel Marquina on YouTube
