Something new has emerged in the world of surfboards. Santa Cruz have a new lightweight material applied in the manufacture of windsurf boards that is now being used to make their very own surfboards. The founders of NHS (Santa Cruz Skateboards) started making surfboards in the late 60's fuelling the development of surfboard design since the beginning.

Santa Cruz has now re-entered the market with a range of surfboards designed by some of the worlds best shapers. Made using TufLite technology they are lighter and stronger than conventional surfboards.

"The boards are made with a core of expanded polystyrene. The technology presses fibreglass and high density foam PVC with expanding epoxy resin into a mould. What you get is a hard outer shell, and a soft, lightweight inner core called a composite or a "sandwich" board. The board's strength comes from the outer shell, or "skin" of the board."
Matt Hault - Santa Cruz

Santa Cruz new TufLite surfboards are lighter and stronger than conventional custom and pop-out boards. Tested by Santa Cruz pro surfers who all have pro model boards designed to their specifications. Shawn "Barney" Barron, Adam Replogle, Chris "Gally" Gallagher, Christian Fletcher and Matt Archibold - these boards are built to perform like no other

5’11” Archy Double Wing Swallow  
   
Matt Archbold is one of the fastest, most radical surfers on the planet. A hero to both young and old, Archy continues to push the limits of what’s possible on a surfboard. Archy’s power, aerial assaults, and unbelievable style have influenced the greatest surfers of all time. Countless years of barrels, snaps, airs, laybacks, floaters, carves and wave knowledge have been poured into Matt’s new 5’11 Double Wing Swallow.

The double wing swallow design is one that Archy has ridden nearly exclusively his entire career. He likes the combination of drive and tight turning this board offers. The flat rocker gives the drive, with the two wings adding to the turn by narrowing the tail. Deep single to double concaves cut through the bottom with a Vee out the tail, increasing lift and rail curve. Team tested and approved this is Archy’s everyday weapon of choice.

5’10” Adam Replogle Squash  
   

Adam Replogle is one of the greatest surfers to ever emerge from Santa Cruz. Growing up in Capitola allowed Adam to hone his skills on the right hand point breaks of Pleasure Point. Adam turned pro at an early age. His high speed, radical power surfing earned him a spot on the WCT, a feat accomplished by only one other Santa Cruz surfer, Chris Gallagher. Adams diversity and drive eventually lured him into bigger and bigger waves.

Like the mini-Barney, this board is a smaller version of the AR 6’0 model. Team tested and approved, this is the board you can see Adam Replogle, Matt Ratt and Austin Smith Ford representing Pleasure Point on. Doesn’t matter if you’re burying your rail or punting lofty airs, this high performance squash can do it all. Built for speed in a variety of different waves.

5’11” Barney Fish Wing Swallow Tail  
   
Shawn BarronShawn “Barney” Barron is an aerial freak. One of the most innovative surfers to come out of Santa Cruz, Barney is always pushing the limits on the wave and in the air. Back flips and Barney rolls are standard moves in his deep bag of tricks. This board was designed with fun skate-influenced surfing in mind. The 5’11 Barney winged swallow is an all around small to medium sized wave board. An almost fish-like template makes it work as good in small surf as it does when the swell picks up a bit. Low rocker acts like a turbocharger and makes this board accelerate from the get go. Going fast allows you to boost. Boosting airs gets you girls. Why not have it all. Paddles fast and gets you into waves with ease. This is a big 5’11 that can hold a heavy rider for its size. Great for the lighter beginner, or a bigger, more advanced rider.

6’1” Matt Archbold Pin Tail  
   
Matt Archbold is one of the fastest most radical surfers on the planet. A hero to both young and old, Archy continues to push the limits of surfing. Archy’s power, aerial assaults, and unbelievable style have influenced the greatest surfers of all time. Countless years of innovation, barrels, snaps, airs, laybacks, floaters, carves and wave knowledge have been poured into Matt’s new 6’1 Pin Tail.

Proto type tested by Archy in Fiji, Hawaii and California this board gives you added control just as the waves start to push back. By no means a “gun”, but not really meant for knee slappers either. A great step up board to the 5’11” Archy, utilizing similar design elements for a consistent feel.

6’2” Christian Fletcher Square Tail  
   
The new Santa Cruz Christian Fletcher pro model is the result of over 15 years of innovative surfing put into one package for one main purpose. Going fast and boosting huge airs. More importantly this board is made to land them over and over again without falling apart under your feet. To achieve this Christian dusted off one of his all time favorite Magic boards and paired up with veteran Santa Cruz shaper Doug Haut to design the ultimate modern aerial surfboard. The end result was a 6’2 square tail with boost specific design elements. Christian’s board features a flat nose rocker and a double concave bottom up front to help generate speed and provide stability on landings. Towards the tail a moderate rocker is paired up with a deep single concave allowing enough lift and curve for sharp turning and setting up when needed. The wider square tail profile enhances launching by giving the board the thrust it needs to really boost. Control and positioning is achieved through the 6’2’s dynamic rail profile. Up front the rails begin with a subtle edge that smoothly progresses into a sharp, hard carving tail. While this board’s primary function is to get you above the lip it does an equally impressive job of putting you into barrels, carving hard turns and showing the wave who’s boss.

6’2” Fish Swallow

Ideal summer fun board. Low rocker and lots of area to carry over flat sections. Speed machine for the advanced rider, or a stable table for the kids to learn on. The combination of soft rails up front and vee in the tail help get this plank on rail and pumping across nothing. This board will perform well in waves up to head high, giving you lots of speed and fun fishy turning. If you're a little heavier or just want more Volume check out its big brother the 6

5’8” Pumpkin Seed  
The Pumpkin Seed is the ultimate versatile summer surfboard. It blends design elements of a fish with the performance characteristics of a pin tail into one lively smaller wave board. The wide nose and flat rocker make this board paddle fast and accelerate out of the hole like a jack rabbit on roids. The single to double concave bottom and dynamic rail profile further complement the rail to rail performance of this summer pin tail. Every Pumpkin Seed comes standard with a custom set of high performance fiberglass fins. Team tested and approved. Designed by veteran shaper Doug Haut, over 40 years of experience breathe from the fast, flowing ride of this beauty. The Pumpkin Seeds are available in a variety of sizes to accommodate a broad range of rider weights and abilities.

9’0” High Performance Longboard

Weighing in at 12lbs, this is one of the lightest 9’0’s on the planet. Shaped by veteran master shaper Doug Haut. Team tested and approved.
