Introducing a big step for the man previously behind Pukas surfboards the Axel Lorentz Surfboard range is now available at Boardshop. If you don't know who Axel Lorentz is you've probably been living under a stone or an uninhabitated island somewhere! The man behind some classic Pukas shapes and a STAB in the dark winner, just google him! He's launched his own board range and its loaded with absolute winners.

The O.G. model harks back to the all time classic Pukas Original 69er, a landmark board in it's day.

The O.G has an iconic wide outline, a round pintail, and a thruster set up. It’s a great board for intermediate surfers who are ready to take the next step. It’s also the board Kepa Acero took on every trip, a testament to its adaptability and fun. From small waves to hollow walls, this is the most adaptable surfboard in the Axel Lorentz Quiver.

During the shortboard revolution surfing in general underwent a radical period of change. It was during this time that Axel designed The Original Gangster, which has gone one to become an iconic surfboard, and the foundation for a generation of versatile one board quivers style boards that followed. The wider outline of the board gives surfers more volume under the chest, makes paddling easier and helps to catch waves. Once on the wave, the board carries speed down the line, whilst the pulled in round pin tail adds hold when carving hard or charging steeper, bigger waves.

Overall, the Original Gangster is a fast and forgiving board that has loads of room to advance for progressing surfers. Its ability to catch waves easily, whilst also engaging the tail with drive and control delivers a responsive yet controlled feel. For many that combination of easy surfing and great versatility make for an addictive surfing experience.

As a premier Axel Lorentz stockist, we pride ourselves on giving what we think is good solid advice without any of the over-eager sales driven BS often encountered by our customers elsewhere.
