Asymmetric Surfboard Design Guide
Asymmetric Surfboard Design Guide
2019
My first foray into asymmetric designs was in the winter of ‘92. I was influenced by the
best snowboard I had ever owned (up to that point) a NITRO “PYRO”(see photo of
board), twin tip, asymmetric snowboard. It was the first board I ever rode that I could
properly carve a heel edge on. It spurred my interest in the concept, but I only made a
couple asym surfboards at the time, and soon lost interest. Around the turn of the
century, after reading an asym article in Surfers Journal, in 1999, I re-visited them,
making a few HPSBs, for an early Mentawais trip. One of which was easily one of my
all-time best boards to that point. Once again, I soon neglected the design. About ten
years later, inspired by the resurgence of asym popularity, we made a few for Aaron
“Gorkin” Cormican, with winged swallow on the toes and round pin on the heels.
This specific board, the “MAYSYM”, is based around our “V2-StubRocket”, a small wave
specific, spin off of the original “Rocket” (which was popular when I started developing
this board). I worked on it periodically, for over 5 years, and feel that due to the work
of guys like Ekstrom and young Ryan Burch, among others, to popularize asymmetric
designs, the time is becoming right to actually offer these designs to the public. For me,
asymmetries help most when applied to high volume boards. On a narrow / thin, low

The general concept is we all surf with different leverage on our heels, vs our toes. Heel catch-ability, and ease of speed generation… especially on heel turns (back side bottom
turns are more abrupt, without the ability to “feather” our rail pressure with supple ankles turns or front side pocket turns are most effected), so I began to take surface area out
and toes. Contrary to common misconception, Asymmetrical boards are not for “going of the heel rail on my wide Rocket tails, turning them into Round tails, and then slowly
right or left”, or “backside or frontside” but are designed to work in symmetry with a natural offsetting the centerline, as well as adding more rail rocker to the wider side of the tail,
or goofy footed surfer. They’re almost always designed to be more forgiving on the heels and other subtle adjustments to try and neutralize the difference between heel and toe
body mechanics. The MASYM is the result.
(usually done by reducing surface area or shortening rail line) with more resistance on the
toes (a wider, straighter, or longer rail and or rocker line).

These are genial asyms, attempting simply to make riding a really wide short board
easier, when transitioning from heel to toe. The fins are set the same. No offset fin
marks. No inverted pickle fork noses, and no over the top offset rockers or extreme
curves. One of my favorite design ethos is “Don’t get loose until you have control”.
I’ll let other vanguard shapers push the limits of balancing visual shock and actual
function.
We offer each size in Regular of Goofy footed build. I’ve painstakingly designed
each board/size/regular/goofy, and worked closely with AKU Shaper, so each is
pre-cut specifically asymmetrically. The tail is already pre-shaped into the blank,
before we hand fine tune the single channel, and fine tune the rest of the shape.
This gives previously unmatched consistency to the boards, bringing a once rogue
and “underground” design to the surf shop customer.
We hope you go out on a limb and try one. You won’t be disappointed.

El Patron’ is a Spanish expression that normally means “The Boss”
when referring to the owner of a business or industry.
EL PATRON’ is essentially my personal surfboard. A contemporary,
performance short board scaled up and refined to be ridden, and properly
perform, with generous dims and higher volume.
It’s easy to inflate any model to larger dims, but another thing altogether,
for it to remain nimble, responsive and forgiving. For me, this board does
just that. Like so many of us, I’ve long since felt relegated to riding
Hybrids, or Fishy, wide nose, lower rockered boards. Crowds, getting
older, a little too much good living (along with a few too many extra lbs.)
as well as the fact that I never was a Pro, or a hot shot surfer, have
combined to make it difficult to continue riding modern Pro-fomance
shortboard designs. El Patron’ allows me to confidently navigate a
crowded lineup and surf at the best of my personal ability …aka ‘40
liters to Freedom’
• Heavily blended rails, that belie the overall thickness, and feel really
good in your hands, and in the water.
• Thin, boxy rails from the fins to the tail, allowing control and feeling
loose.
• Forward thickness flow, for drive and extreme paddle-ability.

Cork, being a natural living and growing plant (harvested repeatedly from a living tree) is a renewable and sustainable resource. No trees
are chopped down. The Cork “bark” is periodically “harvested”, with no harm to the tree, which then slowly re-grows its Cork shell. Cork is
the only truly renewable, natural living material used in surfboard construction today. A stark contrast to the typical (harmful and toxic) PVC
foam sandwich shells and “stringers” used in most all other sandwich construction surfboards today.

Ultra-light, EPS cores are “wrapped” in an exoskeleton of strategically positioned, carbon fiber bands.
Aligned together at the nose, they gradually curve outward towards the rails. The curve creates and
controls a unique torsional flex that livens up as it nears the tail, just in front of the fins. The carbon
then “wraps” from the bottom, around the rails and onto the deck. This unique method creates Carbon
Wrap’s lively flex that loads and releases...resulting in next level speed and drive.
Running along the rails, on the deck, the carbon acts as a rear foot power point, (increasing drive and
control) and a patch to minimize pressure denting. Using optically brightened epoxy resin, the boards
are encased with a proprietary composite of fiberglass and our exclusive carbon deck inlay, which is
strategically positioned to add fast re-flex memory under the surfer’s stance and allow subtle, natural deck caving around the arch of the
front foot. By tapering the carbon into long, pointed ends, forward and aft, the flex blends out naturally towards the nose and tail.
A full layer of 45degree “X-Glass”, encases the deck. The X-Glass’s flat, bi-axel weave dramatically adds strength without rigidity, or excess
weight and allows the board to maintain flex while alleviating crease points created by standard, 90degree fiberglass. The 45degree weave
radiates foot pressure outward, directly connecting the foot to a longer section of the rail, adding greater edge control.
