Product description

5'8 Misfit Yandina Speedway - Primitek - Futures - 3 Fin

OG M/SF/T family JAKE VINCENT’s signature model, the Yandina Speedway is Queensland engine culture and hellman spirit all packaged into one muscly beast of a surfboard.

For those who desire to surf like Vin; animated, untamed, progressive, and unpredictable look no further than the Yandina Speedway. The model bears a lot of similarities to Vin’s previous chariots of choice, with a similar wide nose and tail that draw the rail line out, making it more parallel to create maximum speed + drive. Lismore levels of speed + lift are also derived from a quad channel bottom which projects water out the tail. The tail also harnesses another previously proven element, the domed swallow, which in short, promotes speed and release, while maintaining control, especially in a reversed position.

Most of this board’s big Vin energy is in its deck and rails. The deck is fully flat, in fact, it goes beyond into a subtle concave, which creates a more sensitive surfing feel; as one’s feet are almost closer to the water and fin area. Toward the tail, this then moves into a slight double concave for comfort and grip while shuvving and revving. This is all finished off with chimed rails to propel water off the deck and create shapely rails that penetrate the wall of the wave without biting.

The last element, which is oh so important, is the 13 hand-drawn decals by the iconic Australian punk artist BEN BROWN that are guaranteed to make this board unnoticeable to none. As one can see she is wild beyond belief, but on a technical level this board is the evolution and next generation of the MK/ DD series, which has been years of design and research in planning hulls, channels, parallel outlines, water displacement, and timeless surfboard design.

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.
