Motorboats are built with either “Greenfoam” or recycled EPS, UV cure resins, and recycled fins, as Rob also wanted to make the Motorboat less impactful on the environment. A limited edition run of 75 boards signed by Rob are planned to have foam waste combined with concrete for water fountains commissioned by Rob’s foundation for schools.

Feedback

Should be ridden approx. 4 inches smaller than your shortboard.

Designed For

Knee to slightly overhead, novice to advanced surfers.3

So I’d recommend for you a 5’11″ if your normal board is a 6’1″. – Connor Coffin

Features single to double concave and comes standard in a squash tail.

Experience

Ridden by Conner in all conditions, from low tide Rincon and dumpy HB, to the fat faced mushy stuff. The wide point is forward to skate over flat sections but with more tail kick than a Flyer so it stays tight when turning hard in the pocket.

Dane claimed best turn of his life on this board in the Rip Curl Search Puerto Rico contest in 2010.

Super spicy and the perfect board to fill the gap between your shortboard and your Dumpster Diver.

IDEAL WAVE SIZE

Waist high to a little over head

“…foam is your friend…don’t be scared of it. A little bit of extra foam here and there is good for the soul… and your surfing.”
– Rob Machado

Kelly’s 2010 small wave design is the as the Black Flag Whip. The same shorter, wider Whip outline with Al’s single to double Tri Plane Hull bottom.

Kelly finds the board is fast and has an even more responsive feel than the previous single concave version of the Whip. A double concave deck gets your feet closer to the water line .

We have also added carbon fiber strips on the bottom stretching from the nose to the leading fins. Stopping the carbon fiber near the leading fins concentrates the flex in the tail, thus providing more spring out of turns.
The half moon tail option gives the board more release out of the top of the wave.

Experience

Should be ridden 3-4 inches smaller than your shortboard, 1/4″ wider and the same thickness. About the same length as you are tall or shorter. These were limited production so are now custom order only.

Ideal Wave Size

Everyday use by intermediate to expert surfers in knee to head high surf.

Our board designs are direct results of team feedback, so when Dane showed up at the factory in early 2010 requesting a short wide epoxy with single concave and a huge square tail to make the summer bearable, the Dumpster Diver was born. When he came back a week later and wanted one with a narrower nose and a Rookie tail template for the Trestles contest in 3 days, the 2nd Generation Dumpster Diver was created and remained under his feet all the way through to his first final at the WCT Trestles 2009. Voted SIMA board of the year for 2010.

The Dumpster has a ton of curve in a short package, so stick to the pocket and keep it on rail. Ride 1” to 4” shorter than your height.

Feedback

Short, wide and ugly, but fun and fast.

Ideal Wave Size

Small to med surf, launching. Intermediate to expert.
