This year we simplified the Shark into one very flexible model that comes standard with a 5 fin placement choice for a 1 board quiver. Still a board designed for average surfers in junk surf and meant to be ridden 2-4” shorter and 1” wider than your typical board.
It features a wide tail and a full curvy nose outline, a very shallow concave from center through the front fins to a double concave vee behind the back foot. Double wings make for quick release direction changes without sliding. This year we have introduced the dbl wing round pin tail, this extends the functionality of the board into larger, faster waves without sacrificing small wave speed and looseness.
Great small wave board for average ability surfers. Guys like Ryan Carlson and Shane Beschen rip on these boards and Ward loves to take them out into Tahitian barrels. Features the original SHARK’S low entry rocker with flat deck and full steep rails for built in speed and stability. Works great in broken up surf and mushy walls. Paddles fast and makes you look good.

Conceptually it’s not a fish or a shortboard… but something in between. Features a flat deck, steep rails and an outline with a wide pointed nose and centered wide point. Concave bottom through the guts of the board with a volume neutralizing spiral vee behind the fins create speed and control simultaneously. The tail is a winged swallow with the inner point hollowed out (creating the gull wing shape) to allow more water release in turns and give more control at high speeds (allowing a faster, flatter rocker that still turns easily).
This board has everything you need to compete with crowds and modest surf, yet allows radical surfing and direction changes. Comes standard with five FCS fin plugs and can be ridden as a thruster, quad or even five finer. Tested thoroughly at overcrowded, mushy Trestles by overweight guys with much success and given a real working over by Wardo.
Ride 2”- 4” shorter than a typical shortboard.

Surfing, Grinching, Wakesurfing, Kiteboarding, Tow Ats, young kids first board, the applications for these seems to be endless.

Placeboman’s rip off version of the famed fish Cory rode in 5’5” 19 1/4”. He updated the rocker, outline and bottom curve to work well with the Flexlite construction. Not only will these take a beating, it’s great for those small, mushy days and it will hold in bigger surf. If you don’t believe us just checkout the footage of Cory riding the 5’6” this winter at Pipe . For 2008 Placeboman added a bigger size for all you beer drinkers out there. Now you too can have fun in knee surf again. He also added 5 fins and plugs to give you the option of riding them as quads or tri-fins. The Uber Fish is a must for everyone’s quiver.

The 6’3“ is a high performance board for the guy who still rips but can’t paddle like he used to. It has the same rocker and outline as the CL Pro’s just added width and thickness for the bigger guys. The 6’4 and 6’6” have flatter entry rockers and carry the thickness flow further forward to give them more glide and drive. These paddle like funshapes but turn like shortboards.

This is Placeboman’s mad scientist attempt to cross the Cory models with the Uber Fish. Basically he took the nose off a Cory model and glued it to the tail of a Uber Fish and added a bump wing to clean up the outline. Somehow in all the madness he created a great all around board. The 5′11″ Psuedo Fish works well in fast down the line surf orlong mushy walls for the average surfer.
Size available in Psuedo Fish is:

This is Gorkin’s favorite shortboard. A proven winner Gorkin has won or made the finals in just about every East Coast contest over the last few years on this design. With a flatter entry rocker than the Cory models, the Gorkin Pro was designed with the small surfer who wants more drive in average surf in mind. Combine this with the Flexlite Technology and Placeboman has created a board that allows you to surf like Gorkin and not have to buy a new board every week.
Sizes available in Gorkin Pro are:
5′10 x 18.00 x 2.06

For 08′ we added two new sizes to the Gorkin Anarchy Quad for the bigger guy that wants a small wave board that has enough volume to paddle while still being able to rip on. The 5′8″ and 5′11″ continue to be rocket ships with Gorkin getting as high as anyone……on the 5′8″. We also added a 5th fin plug on all sizes to give you the option of riding these as thrusters for all you quad haters. And to answer your question no it doesnt work as a 5 fin!
Sizes available in Gorkin Anarchy Quad are:
5′8 x 18.38 x 2.18
