Slot Machine CSE

Created on the North Shore, the Slot Machine is the culmination of 45 years of designing, shaping, and building boards by Carl Schaper.

Used in a variety of contests by NSP Team Riders, these are well-balanced shortboards that excel in the most demanding of conditions. Available in seven sizes ranging from 5’6″ to 6’5″, it is built for the big stuff.

Slot Machine CSE Design

This is a thinner, lower-volume version of the Pit Cruiser with a slightly more pulled nose and tail outline. Fins are positioned close to the tails and a squashed tail allows you to ride hard and launch yourself from grunty waves.

Description

Who’s the Slot Machine CSE for

The Slot Machine is best compared to the Pit Cruiser, Carl Schaper’s other high-performance shape in the NSP line-up.

With an uncompromised shape, the Slot Machine is built for competition-style riding. The Slot Machine is a thinner, lower-volume version of the Pit Cruiser with a slightly more pulled nose and tail outline.

Fins are positioned close to the tails and a squashed tail allows you to ride hard and launch yourself from grunty waves.

Slot Machine CSE Construction

Slot Machine CSE construction diagram

NSP’s Dual Band Carbon Technology ingeniously integrates dual carbon bands into the core of the board, strategically positioned where a traditional surfboard stringer would be. This innovative approach not only allows for a stringer-less blank but also enhances flex, delivering superior drive and responsiveness. By optimising the flex pattern, these boards offer an exhilaratingly lively feel, providing surfers with unmatched performance and agility on the waves.

Think of CSE as a lighter, more performance-oriented version of the Slot Machine, compared to its PU version.
