MISFIT SHAPES – DOPE MACHINE- PRIMITEK – FUTURES – 5 FIN ( 5’6 – 5’8 – 5’10 – 6’0 ) Clear

Unrivaled, unprecedented, and pure fun; the ‘DOPE MACHINE’ is the first of our collaboration series with long-time ‘MAD MINDS’ Advocate George Henderson of ‘A DEAD COFFIN CLUB’.

Fundamentally, it is a combination of a classic high wide point funboard, almost reminiscent of a 70’s single fin spawned with a modern fish or hybrid. The signature diamond tail gives the board a shorter rail line, so the water breaks earlier which creates an early pivot point for a wildly responsive, tighter turning board that also allows for positioning in more critical parts of a wave.

The rail volume is reduced slightly, the rocker is increased and the bottom concave is charged up for damn a lively ride. True to the name, the “DOPE MACHINE” is one TUFF customer. It’s a little-known fact that before the invention of transparent, high-impact polycarbonate, the L.A.P.D. used DOPE MACHINEs as riot shields during the ‘big bruise up of ‘88’.

Primitek by Misfit

Whether you’re a primitivist á la Gauguin or a minimalist like Mies Van der Rohe we know you believe the essence of a thing is its true value and that kitsch accouterment is for the birds. You know that real creative expression happens on the wave and what you need are a great design and purist performance.

Bienvenu à Primitek. By keeping the construction simple we’ve found our boards built in Primatek perform as an extension of surfers’ instincts. Intuitively connecting your imagination and ability in a creative collision of a primal past and an ethereal future, Primitek is the blank slate and firm foundation for you to build your masterpiece.

Mad Minds

Misfit Shapes represents an authentic response to an era of change, a ‘surf’ stemmed movement that allows art, design, and individuality to co-exist within a realm more commonly dominated by conformity and observation. We are not bound by a single leader or manifesto, but rather a bold commitment to pushing the limits of this well-oiled machinery of surf. The result is a rare collective of mildly deranged but high-powered misfits, potentially dangerous cultural agitators, and just about every other kind of MAD MIND.
