Last year,  Webber Surfboards introduced two new features to their range of surfboards that positioned their brand at the top of the surfing world.

First they introduced the double concave and secondly the SLX technology – a means of creating a very light but extremely strong board. It is no surprise that their surfboards have been in short supply as Greg Webber makes a name for himself as top shaper.

For 2009, the Webber team have been extremely busy, making minor tweaks across the range as well as introducing a new super high performance fish shape called the Webber Mini Fish.

Greg really is one of the world’s unique sufboard shapers, not afraid to try new concepts in order to make surfing just that ittle bit more accessible and a hell of a lot more fun!

…possibly the most manouveable small wave board available!

Webber Fish 2009

The Webber Mini Fish is an unusual beast as it packs lots of volume into its curvy plan shape, making it great for paddling and gliding but also holding a lot of grip on the wave face.

Longboards, mini mals and retro fish designs can catch the small waves but they cannot ‘fit’ into the small wave faces because they are too wide and flat. You end up surfing the board and not the wave.

The Mini Fish has two deep concaves and deep raked flexing fins, all of which allows the curves of the board to be fully utilised – making it loose but without losing any grip.

The thickness of the board also adds to te glide throughout the longer smoother turns by never bogging. It just flows from one to the next.

All the boards are glassed with a 2 x 4oz and a 3 /4 length patch on the deck and 1 x 4oz bottom with a patch on the fin area. Greg gives the boards a silky smooth Pro finish and they come standard with custom-made Webber Twin fins.

Available Sizes :- 5’6″, 5’9″, 6’0″, and 6’3″

Webber Afterburner 2009

Webber Afterburner 2009

After proving itself last year and getting rave reviews, Greg Webber have tweaked the Webber Afterburner only slightly whilst maintaining the boards overall theme as a real all-rounder.

A nose to tail double concave has been added to the surfboard, extending it capacity for speed without losing any freedom of movement. Greg has applied some of his thinking behind the fish shape, increasing the nose and centre width slightly thus making the Afterburner about half way between a shortboard and a true fish.

As Greg says: “The Afterburner has a fast and free planshape with strong and drivy bottom shape. A very responsive and forgiving semi-fish for all types of beach breaks.”

In keeping with Webber’s true goal for perfection, the entire Afterburner 2009 range are glassed with a 2 x 4oz and a 3 /4 patch on the deck and 1 x 4oz bottom with a patch on the fin area. The boards come with a Pro finish and a FCS M5 Glassflex Series fins as standard.

Available Sizes :- 6’0″, 6’2″, 6’4″, 6’7″ and 6’10″
