Wayne Rich Wildcard 3 Tuflite Pro

Turn a losing hand into a winning hand with the Wildcard. The Special Projects Division Wildcard 3 is an updated version of Waynes Rich’s classic shape. Still a great nose rider and proficient turner, the board maintains many of the attributes that helped Wayne win three consecutive Malibu Club contests, including a full template with a wide nose and wide crescent tail. The crescent tail, initially hand drawn by Joel Tudor, allows water to flow over and out the center of the board’s tail, pushing the tail down and creating lift in the board’s nose. Slight updates to the board's nose concave also assist in noseriding. The board can be broken down into three planes. One in the front for noseriding, one in the middle for trim, and the last plane near the tail for turning. The Wildcard features a rolled bottom, that mellows in the back third of the board. The rolled bottom increases control and turn initiation. If you are looking for a longboard to make you surf more and better the Wildcard 3 is for you. The Wildcard is a true tip-to-tail classic style longboard that allows for a traditional approach to wave riding. Read more →

Technology

Tuflite Pro

Professional level quality should be available to all surfers. 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 improveent in both break strength and impact resistance. The process of Omega glassing, wrapping and over-wrapping the recess and rails of the board is a feat of engineering allowing for added strength without added weight. Tuflite Professional is the perfect blend of durability and engineered performance, built to elevate your surfing.
