We recently received the latest quiver of boards from Victorian shaper Isaak Jagoe of IJ Shapes.  All boards are hand-shaped, made here in the back streets of Melbourne at The Surfboard Studio.

IJ SHAPES QUIVER 2022

SHORTBOARD

"These are a design I’ve been working on over the past 18 months - 2 years. An everyday shortboard that works in a variety of conditions. It features a semi staged rocker with a medium amount of nose and tail flip, accompanied by a medium boxy rail and single to double concave. These attributes give this board a large sweet spot that excels in waves shoulder height and up, perfect for the waves we get on the coasts both sides of Melbourne and the pool."

FISH

"This design is probably the board I've sold most of with great feedback. It features a low-medium rocker throughout, with a single concave running into a channel out the tail, this makes the board incredibly fast from the get go. It has a medium rail on it for a forgiving feel and a generous amount of foam for easy surfing. Designed to be used with upright twins with a trailer in, to give a pivot point off the back foot. Use this board in waves under shoulder height in any sort of conditions."

STEP-UP

"I’ve been tweaking this step up design for a while now, which is my go to design for someone wanting hold in bigger faces/ hollow waves. It features a medium nose rocker and a lot of tail lift, accompanied by a slightly forward wide point and foam under the chest. This allows the rider to get into waves early and fit inside a curvier face. It features a single to double concave and medium boxy rail for a forgiving feel when transitioning through turns. Comes standard with a heavier glass job."
