Funboard Super Brand Fling GT

Reading Time: 2 minutes


Shaper’s comments

Designed as a shorter and more modern/high performance take on the keel fin fish, it has all the grooviness of the throwbacks with none of the weird oldness. It’s young, rad, and classy all at the same time. Crazy fast down the line, lots of lift, smooth and tight through carves, and progressive in the pocket. It’s versatile: it can be surfed assertively off the tail, or with light feet for those that love airs.

2016 marks the introduction of the Fling//GT. Built on the legacy of one of our most popular and innovative designs, the GT version is a quad only and features a slightly updated outline including subtle increases in nose and tail rocker for added performance in critical sections and a mild hip above the fins with a split diamond tail for extra pivot and traction. The Fling//GT gives versatility and performance everywhere you need it.

Ride 5-7″ Shorter than and the same volume as your Favourite short board

Asher’s Comments

“The Fling GT was actually quite loose but in saying that you could get pretty funky on the wave and it would hold.”

“The really low rocker really helped getting you through the dead sections and made surfing it a breeze. The tail patch definitely strengthened the tail and helped with the durability of the board.”

“I think it would be pretty easy to transition from a bigger board onto something like this. Being so short I found it really fit into the pocket of the wave really well and you could throw it around and get jazzy on it and have a lot of fun. ”

Seven free surfers embarked on a voyage to boldly go where no man had gone before.

Not that long ago, in an island chain far, far away, seven free surfers embarked on a voyage to boldly go where no man had gone before. Equipped with an array of surfboards, a packet of crayons and two ukuleles, their chances of success were slim. In pursuit of perfection, they were forced to navigate under the radar of a fleet of imperial boat charters. Despite numerous obstacles, the rebel alliance of wave-riding beatniks continued to make Galactik Tracks into a new surfing cosmos; their search for a Nirvana reaching its climax when they arrived at… The Island of Nowhere.

The film features the enigmatic and free-thinking Dave Rastovich at home on the Far North Coast of NSW.

Gathering is a short film from independent filmmaker Nathan Oldfield, the creator of the award-winning left of centre surf films Lines From a Poem, Seaworthy and The Heart & The Sea. The film features the enigmatic and free-thinking Dave Rastovich at home in the sacred playgrounds of the Far North Coast of New South Wales. The film explores Rastovich’s ideas around how the tension between the industrial and the natural in the surfing world unfolds in that place. Ultimately, Gathering celebrates how diversity and difference in ecosystems, relationships and surfing contribute to the preciousness of life. Gathering is easy on the eyes and ears and Tracks Magazine is proud to present it to you. Nathan Oldfield is a maverick, a filmmaker who wants a surf movie to say something important, to move us and make us grateful for the sea around us and the life within us. His films are quiet, beautiful and brimming with sacred purpose. Tim Winton, Acclaimed Australian Novelist
