Misfit Drib - Primitek - Futures - 3 Fin

Sunshine Coast’s son KAI HING’s step-down model is as fast, free, and fun as they come, so fittingly we’ve called it ‘DRIB’ (BIRD backwards).

Now it bears all the features you want in your all-out shorty but packed into a shorter/ wider outline designed to be ridden min. 2” shorter than what was once your conventional short-board.

An accented forward-placed wide point and lower entry rocker means you’re in and on your feet early with instant speed and acceleration. This curvy and shorter outline also positions beautifully in steeper faces and the tub, which longer boards can sometimes feel more difficult to manoeuvre.

Subtle vee combined with softer bottom rails in the entry also enables a more forgiving approach to steeper sections and helps initiate smoother transitions between rails. From there, the bottom shape is a combination of subtle single to double concave that results in a stable yet super responsive board that loves to be pushed hard. This all draws into a tighter round tail with slight lift in the exit rocker that allows explosive release and incredible directional control.

Where this shape is truly unique is its range; it’s incredibly fun on mid to head-high days, but she’s a darn guided missile in juicier conditions, which makes this model the ultimate travel companion and versatile daily driver that suits almost all surfers, in almost all conditions.

Primitek by Misfit

Whether you’re a primitivist á la Gauguin or a minimalist like Mies Van der Rohe we know you believe the essence of a thing is its true value and that kitsch accouterment is for the birds. You know that real creative expression happens on the wave and what you need are a great design and purist performance.

Bienvenu à Primitek. By keeping the construction simple we’ve found our boards built in Primatek perform as an extension of surfers’ instincts. Intuitively connecting your imagination and ability in a creative collision of a primal past and an ethereal future, Primitek is the blank slate and firm foundation for you to build your masterpiece.

Mad Minds

Misfit Shapes represents an authentic response to an era of change, a ‘surf’ stemmed movement that allows art, design, and individuality to co-exist within a realm more commonly dominated by conformity and observation. We are not bound by a single leader or manifesto, but rather a bold commitment to pushing the limits of this well-oiled machinery of surf. The result is a rare collective of mildly deranged but high-powered misfits, potentially dangerous cultural agitators, and just about every other kind of MAD MIND.
