Super-fast, forgiving, easy-to-use retro fun with modern updates and improvements suitable for almost everyone.
RAD RIPPER is the latest in our "Post Modern Retro" collection. A direct offshoot of the Retro Ripper, but scaled for small, subpar, everyday surfing.
Starting with the Retro Ripper, I lowered the entry rocker a bit (for fast paddling, early entry, easy gliding, and speed out of the gate) and replaced the speed-control round tail with a wide, gliding squash tail. Lots of buoyancy and lots of surface area for small waves. As a child of 80s surfing, I was always amazed by the ease of use of the performance shortboards from that era. The RAD RIPPER has a strikingly healthy tail rocker, punctuated by an aggressive double concave, providing even more float and liveliness under the back foot.
Super-fast, forgiving, easy-to-use retro fun with modern updates and improvements suitable for almost everyone.
Features worth highlighting are:
- Flat, stable deck with steep, low apex and soft rails.
- Light vee in the nose (to release low rocker) that transitions into a shallow single concave and a deep double concave vee to ensure both speed and control.
- Wide, stable squash tail, glides over everything and maintains speed in the turns, even in small summer slop.
- Forward-facing thick flow, with wedge-shaped "beak" nose, for propulsion and paddle-ability.
BlackSheepBuilt boards start with lightweight, 1.5lb virgin EPS and utilize the most advanced "Triax-NCF" (Non-Crimp Fabric) high quality carbon fiber to create a fast, responsive and lively surfboard. A board that is both light and flexible and surprisingly stable.
"Triax" carbon is laminated on the deck only, with a short lap on the bottom, and bonded to multiple layers of 4oz, "D-Size" fiberglass, top and bottom, for both durability and performance.
Designed for quick response, a forgiving flex and a cushioned feel underfoot.
The combination of Triax Carbon and fiberglass helps BlackSheepBuilt boards feel lively and exciting, but at the same time familiar.
The unique performance of BlackSheepBuilt boards comes from the Triax Carbon, which combines a three-axis +30/-30°/0 layup. It is an "un-crimped", multi-directional carbon that enhances and controls torsional force from rail to rail.
The 0° nose-to-tail fibers create a lively "stringer" that accelerates flex rebound and gives the feeling of quick response when the board is under pressure.
The +30/-30° fibers control and accelerate the return of torsional forces along the entire length of the board.
Multiaxial carbon fibers are a great alternative to traditional woven carbon fibers because they consist of alternating aligned layers of unidirectional carbon reinforcement.
Because they are not woven, the fibers do not curl under and over vertical fibers like traditional woven fabrics do. The fibers lie flatter, retain less resin, remain smoother, straighter and stronger, and have a more natural flex. Unlike traditional fabrics, there is also no 90 degree carbon from rail to rail, which creates weak points and easy cracks for deck dents, cracks and breaks.
Due to the +30/-30° fabric orientation, the torsional force and pressure from the surfer's feet radiates outward to a larger portion of the rail line, providing greater drive, better connection and therefore better control of the edges and the edge of the board. Strength and stability underfoot and along the rails work together.
WARNING: Carbon fiber surfboards can easily get hot! They're dark... and like all dark things, they soak up the sun and heat up. The BlackSheepBuilt boards are made of lightweight EPS foam and a carbon fiber shell.
BlackSheepBuilt boards are high-end surfboard construction. Treat her like that too. Don't leave them in the car while shopping. Do not leave them in direct sunlight while you tan on the beach. They will get hot and it is possible that they will overheat and blister. Protect your investment and take good care of it. We recommend storing these boards in a heat-reflecting bag. Take the bag to the beach if you want to hang out in the sun before or after surfing. If the boards get dented, let them dry and repair them properly. With proper care and a little love, these boards will take the daily knocks and bruises very well, stay light and extremely lively on the waves, and provide hundreds of days of surfing pleasure.
