The Extreme Academy’s fleet encompasses the complete range of TakeOff epoxy surfboards. The 15 different shapes are suited to a wide range of surfing abilities, from improving surfers who have mastered the basics and are looking for a better quality board than the standard surf school foamy; to experienced surfers who want the convenience and flexibility of having a large fleet of boards at their disposal.
Improving surfers can choose from mini-mals in four different lengths, from 7’4” to 8ft. These boards are perfect for beginners and those who don’t get to surf too often, with their extra length, width and thickness giving good stability and making them easier to paddle.
There are also four ‘Big Boy’ styles: shortboard shapes from 6’8” to 7’2”. More suited to experienced surfers in good wave conditions, these boards allow for tight turns and are extremely responsive, but have more volume to help catching waves.
Four retro models take surfboard styles from some of the classic eras of surfing, and refine the shapes, rockers and rail profiles to suit modern-day surfing. Two ‘Flying Carpet’ models and a ‘Retro Egg’ shape are perfect for small summer waves; while the ‘Retro Fish’ with vintage-style keel twin-fins perfectly complements the modern fish in the range.
Longboarders can choose between six custom-shaped longboards, and there are also two epoxy noseriders (a 9’2” and 9’6”) from the TakeOff range.
“Surf conditions can really vary from day to day, and to make the most of the waves often requires a quiver of different surfboards, which really isn’t practical for visiting surfers,” says Carl Coombes.
