Had great trip to Indo this year
and lucky to pick up two new designed Smook Shredder MK2
5'2"x 18.75 x 2.31" 27Lts
5'5" x 18.75 x 2.31" 29 Lts
Have designed these boards with
more Lts than normally would use
I was amazed & stoked how clean
& easy the 5'2" was to use for the 1st time in 3 >6ft waves with fully
lit 10 m V4 Reo .Due to my normal board I ride is 20 Lt 5'6" surf board shape or 5'2" Shredder MK1 23 Lts The planning hull design & reduced
tail width with flyers and step in rails with thinner rail for tuning ,better up wind and hand grip if required Also used 5'5" for surfing in the mornings This board was very fast and this could be my go to board for
traveling surf &kite The 5'2 " has
strapp plugs but I would not use them it is so stable and so mutch fun unstrapped
Happy Shredding
Pics from Indo on 5'2" board

Great looking boards,but I personally would be keen for something with less sharp edges - more like the FW Evo shape.

I'll def be getting in touch with you guys for my next board.

Approx price & build time please?

Have not had chance to compare on water but will try soon It has planning hull of Evo and thinner rails so should be better on turns and same up wind and waves it same Vader for wave size Have used at Indo well over head

Surfed this board at Indo trip and Finally had a kite on 5'5" Shredder MK2 very happy the way it performed for 30 lt Board But for me I would only use as light wind Board I am 80klg the 5'2" is more fun

Pic at Merimbula classic on 5'6" 30lt Shredder &17m Zephyr and local Melbourne east coast wave 5'2" 27lt Shredder. Love the versatility of cut off nose boards with extra lts

Just picked this baby up from the glasser New MK3 model and this time gone back to low 22 Lts and my normal thin rails Can not wait to use it at Indo trip this year

Noice looking boards!

I kite at the same spot as vendeavours and ride a Vader. I've tried a few of his boards and while the boards are similar, the MK2 is more refined for kiteboarding.

They feel a lot more snappier and lively under foot and the construction compared to the Vader feels a lot more solid. They're also built lighter then my Vader. The MK2 also handles the chop a lot better as it cuts through it instead of bounces over it like my Vader, as the volume to size ratio is better imo.

Still love my Vader though, but my next board will probably be one of these.

We just finished this board for Tasman Rider with round nose and tail with same construction hull design but with medium density PU Blank and tracks for foil (Kitesurf board and Foil in one Board "softer edges as requested " above

Can you order the 5'2" in a different volume, like 24/25 ltrs (could also go down to 5'1"x18.5x2.2 or similar)?

Yes they are custom But for example 2018/2019 model above kites so much better with thin rails 2" thick and less Lts of 22Lts for my weight of 75 to 80 klg Where the 2017/2018 same dimensions as 1 st post above is 27 Lts and thick rails 2.31 "
as Evo/ Vader The Board above with round nose/tail for 65 klg rider Tasy rider is 5'x18"x2" 21.7 klg

How did you determine the position of the foot straps in relation to the foil track please.

Hi toppleover from rider specification He rides on 5 ' Evo and 5 ' North FreeFoil He required Mk3 kite surf board 5' But can use as foil board He has taken to Bali to use

Had great kite INDO this year But I used my Smook Custom Wave A model 5'6" which is my go to board Others but loved my 5'2" Shredder MK3 Both coming from production boards ,they looked better balance on the board and both said what a fun board for chop , upwind , the sharp turning of the tail of board One brought board off me the other has placed order So Happy to have positive feedback Note this board is only good for marginal winds in the 20 + due to its Lts of 21lts and the riders tried were in 65 to 80 klg weight 1st pic Ridder who brought Brd And Sorry To pics of me on my board 5'6" Wave Board shape which a rider from Byron loved so much he also placed order

Great pics great spot
