NSP welcomes Richie Lovett's Volume shapes to Shapers Union. Since retiring from professional surfing in 2006, Lovett has worked closely with some of the world’s leading surfboard and surf hardware brands, creating functional shapes for every genre of surfing. His passion for design, and broad knowledge of surfing and surfboards, has also seen him develop into one of the most astute voices on the WSL commentary team.
Who Richie created these shapes for:
Hybrid-X - Fast with lots of flow, the Hybrid X targets the intermediate-to-experienced surfer, wanting a super reliable, performance-based allrounder for small-to-medium size waves. This model is also valid as a travel companion for shredders not wanting to compromise on a performance approach to wave riding.
Fish - Targeted at the committed surfer who might be struggling for speed and acceleration on a lower volume board, or for anyone whose skills have surpassed a longer, wider funboard. This model is for riders looking to enhance their progression from an intermediate- into the more experienced class. .
Midlength -
The Volume Midlength offers exceptional trim speed over flatter sections and the ability to duck and weave through steeper parts of the wave, this is the perfect board for dedicated surfers wanting to maintain their status in the line-up, and the older crew needing to keep up with the kids.
