Engineered by Tyler Catalogue

The Matchbox is your California involvement style longboard. Combing through Tyler’s design library, teamrider Cormac, found and fell in love with a modified “Double Deuce”--the standard “Double Deuce” is Tyler’s take on late 50s and early 60s surfboard designs. Ironically, Aussie involvement style surfboards pull a lot of influence from this California design arch with the wide point back and a narrow nose. While Aussie Involvement boards are more catered to point breaks and down the line waves, The Matchbox is at home in these conditions but is also suited and excels in daily California beach break. Tyler’s newest model flies on even the smallest days featuring a rolled bottom and a flat deck making it fly through sections while lifting on the nose while having the ability to lay high-speed turns on rail. It’s a design meant for the advanced surfer, someone who is looking for something more sensitive under their feet out in the water Working with a very smooth and notable surfer a decade or so ago (who went on to develop a popular model with a Santa Barbara surf brand named after adjacent offshore islands), Tyler developed the “Throttle,” a model that helped him win an international surf contests or two. High speed trimming. Precision turning. Critical noserides. The Throttle Model truly delivers it all. This model utilizes Tyler’s battle tested Noserider rocker along with a functional step deck in the nose. The rocker allows for quick turns and stability in the pocket. The square tail gives the board a fast release out of every turn. The step deck allows a highly functional amount of flex, enabling the rider to make corrections from the tip with ease. No concave means this board can paddle with the best of them and trim at high speeds. This is a great beach break longboard or an easy choice as a daily driver. The Nomad is a new take on the Tyler Double Step Deck design arc, one that fits under more youthful feet, per example as a “go to” for team rider Cormac. The Nomad features a soft nose with pushed up ears, a shallow continuous curve for acceleration to pushed back hips to a squash rounded tail for full roll and tip on check turns and cutbacks. Utilizing a pyramid rocker with the step in the nose and tail with the rocker fulcrum at the hips, the flexibility of the Nomad flattens out the rocker line increasing the speed down the line while also creating sensitivity in the nose for easy noseride adjustments. With the addition of a barrel concave for nostril positions, the Nomad locks in for extended tip time. The step in the nose allows for less swing weight while the springiness of the step encourages radical projecting turns, cutbacks, and coasters.
