The next generation in surfboard construction

Surftech is producing the strongest lightweight epoxy surfboards in the world. Blending ultra high performance with maximum durability, TUFLITE technology is revolutionizing the surfboard industry and is being sought after by the best shapers in the world.

Tuflite technology was introduced by Randy French in 1992 when he started Surftech. French, a shaper since the late 1960's has been on the leading edge of surfboard design and evolution for over 30 years. His industry leading windsurf company, Seatrend, set technological and design standards in windsurfing for over 10 years.

French has chosen to share his technology with the best craftsmen in our sport. Allowing shapers to replicate their most sought after designs (models / shapes ) and freeing them to work further on the evolution of the surfboard.

Surfers can now experience the strongest and lightest performance surfboards ever created. Their boards enjoy a lifespan never before possible, and the chance to repeatedly get the same magic board over and over again.

Surftech has brought the design inspiration of Tom Blake and Bob Simmons to the 21st Century. Surfboards started as redwood slabs, were improved by using lighter Balsa wood and then both Blake and Simmons began using airplane composite techniques to lighten and improve performance. 50 years later, now using aerospace materials and compression lamination that vision is being finally realized by surfers and shapers around the world thanks to Surftech's TUFLITE technology.

Surftech is a company with its roots firmly planted in surfboard shaping. From Tom Blake to Dale Velzy, its heritage is the noble pursuit of building a better surfboard. It is the soul-quest of our company. Shapers deserve Tuflite because it frees them up from production shaping and allows them to create! Surfers deserve Tuflite because it gives them performance that lasts. Tuflite - it is more than a core, it is exactly what the shaper shaped for you.
