Shaper’s Union
The Speed Line is a Shaper’s Union creation, a collaboration between NSP and world-class shapers like Tully St. John.
Established to bring new energy and high performance to the surf line-up, Shapers Union is NSP’s way to showcase the incredible skill and talent of some of the most accomplished shapers in the world.
As the owner/Shaper of the legendary Laguna Bay Longboards at Noosa Heads, Australia, Tully and his shaping knowledge are an essential part of the Shaper’s Union DNA.
PU Construction
Speed Line PU construction diagram
Precision-CNC cut, shaped, laminated and finished by hand. With a natural flex pattern and reliable feel, PU has been the standard construction for many years in the surfing industry.
While not as durable or as light as boards laminated with epoxy resin, PU performs in all surf conditions and can be adapted to suit a wide variety of surfboard models.
– CNC-profiled, hand-shaped high-density polyurethane foam with a wooden stringer
– High-quality polyester resin and fiberglass hand laminated and sanded to a satin-rub or fully polished high-quality finish
– NSP designed FTU fin boxes (compatible with Futures Fins) on all models
These have long been the standard for most brands and are the most widely and affordable option still out there. Due to the core’s density, a PU Speed Line will sit a little lower in the water.
Similar to the NSP Magnet, this makes it easier to keep your rail under and gives that slicy or “knifey” feel. Protech- or Elements Funboards have an EPS core with different characteristics.
Being a touch heavier also helps PU boards to handle choppy conditions better and are less prone to being bounced around. Sitting lower in the water also has its benefits to barrel riding, providing more hold in hollow waves.
Pulled in the tail with 4+1
Designed as a 4+1, a Speed Line will accommodate a variety of fin configurations for your riding pleasure. Try out hollow Indo reef breaks or the peeling points of Noosa, it all becomes accessible and easy to tap into.
