Whether you’re a primitivist like 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 accoutrement is for the birds. You know that real creative expression happens on the wave, and what you need is great design and purist performance. Bienvenu à (Welcome to) PRIMITEK.

For nearly 2 years M/SF/T have been developing an EPS/ Epoxy construction with the product engineers at SURFTECH in California. The construction possesses all the great benefits of highly technical eps/ epoxy construction (strength, flex, lightness, liveliness) but in a stripped back minimal aesthetic, with the normal graphic expression you'd come to expect from M/SF/T.

"We wanted the pinnacle of technical eps/ epoxy construction, but we didn't want the taping, inlays, laps, carbon fibre busyness that usually comes with construction in this space. So Primitek is stripped right back, but no expense has been spared on the foam, cloth and resin we have used to make the boards perform and last." - Dave Howell, founder/ shaper.

By keeping the construction simple we’ve found our boards built in Primitek 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.

Construction:

*HIGH DENSITY FUSED CELL 2.4lbs EPS CORE - lively response that distributes vibration equally for predictability.

*CLEAR HD-EPOXY RESIN - a resin system with high thermo-mechanical performances.

*DECK: 1 x 4oz E-GLASS + 1 x 220gm layer of BIAX GLASS - provides multi-direction strength while maintaining a lively feel.

*BOTTOM: 1 x 6oz E-GLASS - strong and resistant to denting.

'PRIMITEK' is a ready-to-ride stock program, available across 5 favoured M/SF/T models, in a multiple of sizes, in both standard clear and Art Series sprayed finish.

Part of our 2018 ‘Modern Cloud Control 3’ Collection, the ‘BEACH METALL’ reflects our continued desire to advance performance ‘twin fins’, with this model being the most contemporary, and damn lively one to date. We’ve straightened the rail line from mid point to flyer providing even more drive. The flyer, or wing then breaks the rail line for release and turn-ability. The rails and overall foil is refined from nose to tail to let the water flow over board with minimal restriction, also giving the board incredible hold and control.


It has a medium nose lift, but is quite flat out the tail, encouraging masses of planning speed. Slight singles through entry for paddle, blended into doubles under your feet for controlled lift, then mucho vee out the tail, so this baby sings rail-to-rail and off the toppers, while maintaining giant highline pumpo ability like our other more “traditional” twin fin models.

It is a pure, unadulterated redux of classic flyer swallow twinny based around a more up-right style fin design. No trailing fin required here mam. We have also developed it with the new FUTURES 'LIGHT' plugs, as part of their limited initial roll out. These plugs are lighter, and by construction of fibreglass and carbon, they are stronger, making them perfección for a mod twin fin design.
