Takayama Prince Kuhiō – Tuflite Pro

Donald's favourite glider! This Hawaiian Cross Country glider was inspired by the outer reefs on Oahu's South Shore. Although this board is long in length it is still capable of noseriding and turning like a board shorter in size. It has DT-1 rocker which makes paddling very smooth, easy and user friendly. Donald's patented 60/40 rails with tucked under edge make this board very forgiving on the turns. Available in a 2+1 setup that is capable of riding as a single fin or 2+1 depending on the surfer's style. A must have board in everyone's quiver for small days or long paddles. Read more →

Technology

 

Tuflite Professional is the result of 35 years of testing and multiple iterations of Surftech’s innovative molded construction. An ultra light fused core is molded 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.
