Fourth Surfboards shaped by Luke Hart, bring tried and tested manufacturing methods, shaping experience and handcrafted local production in touch with the computer age with a series of shapes each designed with the very latest performance features. We don’t shy away from those little ‘harder to shape’ aspects that make for significant advantage, the hand cut channels and refined rail profiles tha
t mass manufacture simply can’t replicate. Our boards are all designed with our pro surf team, our local shredders, with the shapers and everyman reviews we get down at the local beach from. we don’t simply scale our stock shapes up as they get longer, we carefully redistribute the volume to suit the kind of surfing each board is designed for. The result is whatever your ability by choosing the correct length you’ll get a board designed to work for you in as wide a range of conditions as possible. However we’ll steer clear of the ‘paddles like a longboard, rides like a shortboard’ cliche (it’s just not possible!) and try to be honest about the strengths and weaknesses of each shape. Only by understanding exactly what a board does and doesn’t do can you make the right choice and get the most from your purchase. We really believe a surfboard should be a beautiful thing to own and that this should be possible not only by not compromising performance but that the attention to detail that creates something that looks so good is the same attention that creates something that performs so well. The pleasure of owning something crafted by hand with care is something everyone should have the chance to experience.
