The new line:
This is the most advanced custom surfboard in the world today. The parabolic stringer combined with Tim’s patented carbon tape construction proves to be the most responsive hand made surfboard on the market. From beginners to champions this is the board of the future. Currently, prominent surfers such as Jon Roseman, , Shane Dorian, Chris and Dan Malloy, Debbie Beacham (world champ, 1987), Bryson Greaves, Gurney Collins, Granger Clark, Sean Madison, Ian O'Riordian, Zack Arreola, Hunter Johnson, Lucas Derkse and Skip Mccullan are riding and loving this board.
Tim’s story behind the line:“Inspired by Bert Burger’s Firewire line and a Ron Church photo of Corky Carol holding his parabolic in 1963, I decided to combine yesterday’s technology with today’s. And now it has come together as the best board I have ever made.”
Standard Configuration: Length: 5’ 10’’'- 7'4”
Width: 18" - 21"
Thickness: 2" – 3"
Bottom: varies depending on model
Tail: squash, rounded pin, swallow
Fins: FCS, Future (Convertible). Available in tri fin and quad fin.
Glassing configuration (strength): competition, standard
Color: Custom color available
Available in: EPS, XTR, Polyurethane, 50/50 (EPS Core, XTR Rails)
Features and Benefits:The reflex features standard glassing and standard blanks. The key feature is the parabolic stringer which provides directional spring back for more responsive turns. The carbon composite stringer will increase the lifespan and help it from breaking in half. It is a board that will make you surf better. The future is here.
Aviso utilizes the most advanced composite construction techniques and materials and applies them to some of the Tim’s shapes. The Aviso team brings over 200 years of composite experience into this new board technology. The members of the team have been worked with composites primarily in the defense industry specializing in Radomes, which are covers fro radar or board banded electro-magnetic windows for radar on missile heads and nose cones for jet fighters. These parts, having to not only perform electrically but also have to be impact resistant to rain and other airborne particulate at speeds over 4,000 feet per second. Guess you can say this is rocket science. Prominent surfers such as David Nuuhiwa, Jon Roseman, Johnny Boy Gomes and Tomia Perry are currently riding this board.
Models available in Aviso Technology:
Modern Classic (9’2”)
Pocket Rocket (John Roseman Tube Master Model - 7’2’’ 18’ 2’1/2”)
Eliminator (6’8” and 6’10”)
Features and Benefits
The boards, made of carbon fiber, are completely hollow. The High Temp Fiber Placement Process allows them to be some of the lightest boards ever seen. There is nothing tying the top and bottom together except for the rails. This enables the deck and bottom to work and flex independently. This unique feature acts like suspension, launching you form one turn to the next.
Since the deck is not directly connected to the bottom, the deck absorbs and stores the energy from the rider, then propels you forward, allowing the board to be in an almost constant state of acceleration. All this time the bottom of the board keeps the rocker intended. Everything from paddling to driving down the line will take on a whole new perspective.
