“To me being a shaper is all about progression; working closely with surfers to better my boards, always thinking about future designs and innovation, and not ever being content with perfecting mediocrity. I’ve learnt the fundamentals of the art and I’m committed to separating my boards from the pack, like a true misfit”

- Dave Howell

ProGressive surfBoards for ProGressive surfers

Introducing

The Pro-formance model is designed with pro-gressive surfing in mind. This high performance shortboard draws it’s responsiveness from its refined low volume foil

and deep single concave. This is the premier model in the Misfit range and is the most popular short-board amongst advanced surfers.

Introducing

The GEM is our new variation model of the original Proformance board. The main differences being a different rocker curve, which is flatter between your feet allowing more

drive and more curve through the entry allowing the nose of board to fit in the pocket of the wave. The model also has a slightly boxier rail making it a fairly forgiving, all round

board. Order 1” shorter and 1/16 thinner than Pro-formance board.

Introducing

The S.W.A.T. model is designed for attacking those small wave days while still riding a conventional shortboard outline. There is added width in the nose and tail and the entry rocker is lowered to allow easy access onto waves. A slight hip and increase in the tail

rocker also allow release and pivot in turns. Order this board 1–2” shorter and 1/4” wider than your pro-formance board.

The Flair is our new high performance small board model. Designed to be ridden short, and for waves in the 2 - 5ft+ range, this board has a flatter rocker for paddling ease, but draws performance and responsiveness from the curvy planshape, double concave and vee in the tail

and super refined foil in last third of board. Ride 6 - 8” shorter and approx same width/ thickness as your proformance board.

Introducing

The epoxy FiberFlex EPS is a completely custom surfboard shaped out of high density EPS foam with a parabolic carbon fiber frame to create a board with a high energy, rapid spring back resulting in ultimate speed and drive. The final process in manufacturing the board is the epoxy

laminate, which is glassed very similarly to a standard PU surfboard only that we use a high quality, UV resistant epoxy resin system. The epoxy resin system creates a highly flexible

laminate, resilient to cracking and fracturing and has a flexural life span 2-3 times a polyester resin. The technology greatly compliments the majority of the Misfit Shapes range, but is excep-

tional in high performance shortboards, small board hybrids and performance fishes.
