Tiki Surfboards
Tiki Surfboards since ‘63. It was a pretty wild ride. From Tim Heyland’s fi rst forays to the North Shore and Dave’s draft dodging Californian road trip, somehow a surf company was born. Stories of blowing blanks in concrete moulds in a farm cottage paint a colourful picture of the early days – a far cry from the established surf industry now.
But you’d need a whole book to document the exploits of Tiki back then. The central focus has always remained the same; it has always been about making good quality surfboards. In the 60’s we blew our own foam and supplied more than half of Europe’s blank requirements. In the 70’s we went crazy with the shortboard revolution. The 80’s got lost in a fluoro haze and the 90’s saw the start of the technological revolution that has brought us to now.
We have always been fortunate, by design or by chance, to be at the forefront of new developments in surfing. Whether it’s new shapes or new technology, we’re on it and the product reflects that. This range encompasses all of this – innovative shapes, multiple fin combo’s, advanced Carbon and SLX materials and all affordable to real surfers, just as it’s always been.

Tiki Carbon Deck Shortboard
Take our SLX technology and add a 160gm biaxial weave Carbon top sheet. The result is a 6’1 (29.2ltr) board that weighs just 2.96 kg. That’s less than your average 4oz glass job but this thing is close to bomb proof. All in a shape designed to go in all kinds of mush: wide forward planning area, low rocker and deep single concave to create lift and accentuate the tail kick.
Available 5’10 – 6’3. Prices from only £559!!
Tiki SLX Sumo Fish
All the virtues of an easy paddling, wave catching minimal wrapped up in a fun, surfable fi sh shape. Fun for any surfer in any waves. Comes in the super light, super durable SLX Biaxial technology AND it’s under 400 pounds!
Available 6’8 and 7’2. Prices from only £385
Tiki PU Performer
Don’t let the minimal-esque shape mislead you. This has the foil and rails of a performance fish. The deep tail vee combined with a pin tail make this board both lively in crap waves and solid in sizey waves. And the quad fin placement, just try it.
Available 6’4 – 7’4. From only £325
