Spacer
The Bean is essentially a hybrid model offering an exciting alternative to riding more traditional shortboard designs. Appropriately named, the Bean has a full nose template and added width through the centre which transitions smoothly into a tail outline typical of a standard shortboard.

The unique shape of the Bean, combined with the relaxed full-length rocker profile, provides a platform for efficient paddling, quick start-up acceleration, and flow in fuller waves. The Bean also delivers exceptional performance in bigger conditions, proving the true versatility of this model.

Fast and full of spark as a thruster or a quad; the Bean offers acrobatic performance in the smaller sizes, and reliability in the higher volume sizes. As a general rule you can ride the Bean 3-to-6 inches shorter than your regular shortboard.

  • FutureFlex
    • FUTUREFLEX TECHNOLOGY
      FutureFlex represents the very latest in surfboard technology and design. The construction process combines a stringerless, high-density custom shaped EPS core laminated with biaxial fiberglass, epoxy resin and a parabolic carbon fiber frame.
      The carbon fiber frame within the laminate is the key to the performance of these boards. Designed to maximize speed and drive while minimizing twisting, FutureFlex boards essentially store and release energy as the surfer transitions through a turn. The result is a fast and lively, highly responsive surfboard that's perfectly geared for high performance surfing.

Josh from NSW, Australia says:

I rode a friends 5'6" Bean down in Tassie a couple of months ago and didn't want to give it back. I ended up with my own and the thing is so responsive you just have to move your eyeballs and it will be happily off in that direction. The most impressive thing for me is it's acceleration, one pump and the bean is flying down the line. I have the future flex model with small fins in. It paddles about the same as my regular 6'0" poly shortboard and it's more more maneuverable but sometimes a bit skittish in bumpy stuff. I guess I bought it because I wanted to do things I can't do on my 6'0" and even after a few surfs I'm doing new stuff; something I can't say I've done on my shortboard for years. They are heaps of fun... now all I need is some waves.
