The 4 4
- Classic Pintail
- Single Fin
- Mid-Heavy
- 9’0? – 10’0?
- 9.5? Rake Fin
The 4 4 is an interesting concept with its flowing S deck. The idea behind the thickness in the center foiling out into a thinner nose and tail creates a great flex pattern. The bulk of the board in the middle is stiff while the tail is very kicked up and has a slight flex through turns. The nose also flexes while nose riding which is a key aspect to a great noserider. The kick in the tail also makes this model amazing on the nose. There is no concave in the design plan. From the nose it has a very flat bottom contour leading into a very slight panel vee bottom that locks the 44 in through turns and allows it to manage even in over heard surf. The 4 4 i is a beautiful, well rounded log design.

THE PURCHASE IS THE PERFECT CLASSIC NOSERIDER. IT’S DEEP DISH CONCAVE IN THE UPPER THIRD PORTION OF THE BOARD MAKES FOR LONG NOSE RIDES THROUGH CRITICAL SECTIONS. WE DESIGNED THIS BOARD TO TURN WITH IT’S FLATTER BOTTOM CONTOUR THROUGH THE TAIL. MOST NOSERIDERS ARE TOO BELLIED OUT WHICH MAKES FOR SLOW, CLUMSY TURNING.

The Pinata is our version of a pintail noserider. It’s more of a speed shape with a slightly pulled in, pointier nose and 70/30 rail in the back foot and a half. The over all outline is pretty streamline. The bottom is fairly flat and slightly rolled to a panel v through the tail. It has a little more tail rocker than the Purchase, but a little less concave. The rails are 50/50 through the mid section and gradually turned up in the tip. This is a great board for down the line logging at point breaks like Rincon or Uppers.

- Single Fin/2+1
- Mid-Light

The Sano Free model is a spin off of the MNR 612 Parachute. The simplified, extended MNR stretches back into a rounded pintail for smoother easier turns. This board is for the average surfer who just wants to cruise San Onofre style but ride something a little smaller, a little racier. It’s not meant for airs or 360s, just an easy glide.

The Tube Shooter is a classic 70s inspired single fin barrel hunter. Although It’s a pretty basic design meant for charging bigger waves, this boards a blast in smaller cruizey surf. The Tube Shooter ranges in the 7’0” – 8’0” size range.
612 MNR
- Really fun board
- 2 + 1
- Mid-Light
- 7’0? – 8’0?
- 6.5? Rake Fin
The 612 is a foot longer than it’s little brother, the 512 MNR. It has many similar attributes that make this board versatile. The one difference is found in the tail. The 612 comes with a rounded squash tail with a unique twist. The tail has a slight little bevel off the end of the board which we call the kickstall tail based off of skateboards. The 612 also has a single concave that runs throughout the bottom of the board from nose to tail similar to the 512. All we know is that the board works insane and it’s such a fun in between size that it puts it right in the fun board category.
512 MNR

BUTTERZONE
- Performance Simmons
- 5 Fin Option
- Light
- 5’0? – 6’0?
- FCS
We like to think of the Butterzone as a “Performance Simmons.” Although it has attributes of the mini simmons, in general shape, the Butterzone surfs very high performance for a stubby surfboard. The bottom contour is flat to panel v and It’s unique flat deck stores extra foam for paddling before thinning out into a semi oldschool, down-turned rail. This board may look like a retro but truly surfs with a modern feel.
POMP

The Pomp combines a modern shortboard rail with a performance egg outline. The nose resembles a rounded egg shape with the wide point pushed slightly forward for streamline speed. The bottom has unique channels between the side fins and the center fin that flow off the rail. These channels grab the face through turns with slight v between the channels off the end of the tail. It’s meant to be ridden in head high and under surf. It’s a great board for surfer’s looking for a modern board with a little bit of extra paddling power.

The Racecar is a Mini Simmons inspired shape with modern flair. Instead of the generic single concave most boards of this nature have, the secret to this speed machine is it’s panel v bottom contour paired with glass on twins.

1992

The 92’ is the closest thing to a high performance modern shortboard in the Canvas line up. With a slightly wider tail, fuller performance rail, quad fin set up, and single concave throughout, the 92’ flies through turns and surfs very modern. Flashback to 1992 and get agro!
High Standards

The Point5 is a wide nose performance shortboard. It’s slight single concave through the tail paired with a slightly harder rail make this board fly down the line and drive through turns like a modern shortboard. Whether you want to boost airs or flow through sections with speed, it’s very user frindly. The Point5 is a step down and only comes in .5” lengths, hence the name the “Point5” giving it that little extra bit of something special. This model is definitely a Canvas favorite!
Thumb Nugget

The tail is bordering on a rounded squash and rounded pin making turns fluid form rail to rail. The bottom is a flowing single concave with slight vee off the tip of the tail.
HOT TUB
- Modern Twin
- Twin Fin
- Mid-Light
- 5’0? – 6’0?
- Glass On/FCS
When is comes down to it, a good fish accelerates faster than your average 6’1? thruster. That’s why we enjoy the feel and the ride we get out of flying down the line on our tiny, effortless paddling twinnies. While designing the Hot Tub, we kept in mind that concave works. Whether it applies to the deck or the bottom, it made sense to add it to both. We added a single wing to narrow out the tail and heavy double barrel concave through the bottom end portion to increase acceleration. We also added a concave deck to keep your feet planted to the board as if your almost strapped in. The purpose of the concave deck is to keep your center of gravity inside the board. It makes it quite hard to slip off and also eliminates the need for a tail pad. All of these factors combined make for a faster, modernized fish.
Bliss Fish
- Vintage Twin
- Twin Fin
- Mid-Light
- 5’0? – 6’8?
- Glass On/FCS
The Bliss Fish is a modern day Steve Lis inspired fish. The twin fin is set up paired with the wide fish tail makes this board a fun and fast ride. It’s wide outline makes this board so easy to catch waves. The Bliss Fish has a deep double concave bottom contour and slight belly in the nose.
YOSHI
- Simmons Hybrid
- Quad
- Lightweight
- 5’0? – 6’2?
- FCS M5/GX
The Yoshi stems from curiosity in a mix of classic and modern. We wanted to combine the modern shortboard with the retro Mini Simmons and this was sort of the middle ground we came up with. This is a great board for fun, smaller days when you just can’t be bothered with your standard shorty and want a little speedy flavor to mix it up. Named after Yoshi from Mario Cart, The Yoshi only goes fast and is hard to slow down. Watch out… this thing is slippery when wet and will steal you away from every other surfboard you own.
