The Spectro

Spectro rework

White opaque free lapped laminate 

I've redesign the Spectro adding the best qualities of the Lumus four fin Bonzer that i have been riding for the past two years. This board is designed for freedom, precision, and control with high speed, full rail, carving turns, and sharp pivotal snaps in powerful surf form head high upwards. it takes over from where the extra planing area of the Lumus becomes unnecessary due to the additional wave speed and energy. The forward section retains the same hull profile, that is blended into the Bonzer concaves that run out through the tail. The fins are slightly revised version of the Lumus four fin bonzer set up that has proven so successful. it has the good wave catching and low speed planing of the Lumus but the plan shape is narrower and straighter and the board draws a beautiful line in powerful surf retaining the light responsive feel of the Lumus with ultimate Drive and control. 

Both the Spectro and the Lumus are boards that have totally changed the way the i think about surfing and what a surfboard can be capable of. The ultimate goal for me as a shaper is to give the surfer the tools for total freedom of expression on the wave with as little restriction from the board as possible. These boards come very close to that goal. The feelings of speed, freedom, response and control are difficult to describe but i guess for me it is how a surfboard should feel but few seldom do.

Lumus feedback

Well it's been a long time but finally I'm able to report on the Lumus. After a few complications with the leg I'm getting back to fitness and  able to surf pretty much normally again.

I've now surfed the board in a fairly wide range of conditions over the last few weeks ranging from completely awful where the Lumus made the most of what was available to really decent French beach break at about 4 foot...absolutely great!The board paddles and catches stuff well, accelerates quickly and makes it's way easily past flat/weak sections but still holds a line on steeper faces. When there is some power in the wave she flies...a real speed machine! Turns - not something I'm renowned for doing too many of - are smooth and effortless and the board is encouraging me to surf in different ways. Plus with a somewhat different shape, great glass job, resin tint and bamboo fins it's a real head turner and raising a fair bit of interest.

Surfed it again last night in fairly chunky onshore conditions. Even on the bigger drops the board was solid and comfortable when I thought the wider tail might move around a bit. On the odd waves that held up a bit the board really gets up and goes...we get a lot of second rate waves up here so something that makes the most of anything is important to me fir a fun session!


I'm extremely pleased I went for the Lumus...finally a smaller board that I'm really enjoying riding and not tempted to drift back to my big boards...may even be tempted by a sub 6 foot one sometime?

Many thanks for a great board and great service!

Best Regards, Roger

Lumus Feedback

5'4" Lumus for Chris Bisson

Hiya Steve,

Got three surfs on my 5'4'' Lumus this weekend and had a

great time. Everything about it feels good, paddles very well,

catches waves well and surfs brilliantly. Pivots nicely on bottom

turns, but still keeps it's drive and speed, grips nicely on turns

whilst still keeping it's speed.

Cheers,

Chris.
