Drifta III

RAINBOWS BY HOT BUTTERED
DIMENSIONS: 6’4 x 21 x 2 5/8

SHAPE / DESIGN

A radical stab, creating an alternative to the Thruster. The Drifta Series it’s width and emphasis on skating speed pre-dated the revival of fish-style boards in the late 90’s.

Main features include: an updated classic single-to-double concave, running a decade ahead of the Performance School. Fluted and pinched wings, stepping down to a stubby swallow, or, chopped square tail, a round nose and mini side-fins, giving the Drifta it’s almost spaceship-like appearance. A 7 1/2” wide-based single fin completed the revolution to hotdog happiness. Driftas hide a typically uncompromising design capable of extraordinary down-the-line speed combined with the ability to break tracks (vertical or horizontal).

Truly a board about transition, from singles to tri-fins. From speed to advanced modern performance surfing.

FINISH & SPRAYS

Just as TF has shaped this board as an expression of shaping freedom, on the day, Martyn has airbrushed and sprayed accordingly. Martyn’s colour interpretation is created with the same freedom of expression. Both Terry and Martyn basically did what they wanted, for their own enjoyment.

MURAL: Designed, air-brushed and expressing individual flare

FADE: Rails and deck are sprayed to highlight and compliment the mural bottom.

FINISH: Gloss and polished to accentuate colour and vibrancy.

“Martyn and I make surfboards for enjoyment, satisfying our own shaping and spraying whims producing surfboards that we love. We would like these boards to be paddled out and be set free to peel eyelids back and put smiles on faces.”
“The board shown, is the result of a couple of mis-pent weeks, making what we wanted to make. This board is for auction to the highest bidder, and for your surfing enjoyment.”
