These are crazy times! When conspiracies become realities, and creativity manifests to functionality. Introducing the Slater Designs Flat Earth: a board built to shred ankle high to overhead surf. Designed by Akila Aipa and dialed-in by Kelly Slater, this model is ready to be your go-to board whatever the conditions of the day. Finesse and flow in waves chest to head high, sized at your normal shortboard volume or a couple liters more.
In summary, let the Flat Earth blow your mind as a twin fin, or sip the serum in doses with a trailer fin. Feel the speed. Hit the lip. Bury the rail. As Akila’s dad – the great, surfer-shaper Ben Aipa – would say, “HOOK IT!”

Product Construction
Linear Flex Technology - LFT
LFT incorporates Firewire’s SPRINGER HD, a 0.75” (18 mm) wide aerospace composite that runs down the centerline of the board, representing the next generation in our SPRINGER technology. The SPRINGER HD runs the entire length of the board and plays a pivotal role in optimizing flex from nose to tail. LTF’s deckskin serves as an additional buffer against the ridging effect that center stringers create over time, while simultaneously working in tandem with the SPRINGER HD to optimize the overall flex pattern of the LFT technology.
