Best for Travel (Wayne Lynch Full Flight) |
|
 The 6’10” Wayne Lynch Full Flight by Surftech is the ideal board for exotic surf travel, designed for faster, hollower waves and constructed with Tuflite’s epoxy/polystyrene blend. Strong, light and tube-tested by one the sport’s top surfer/shapers. |

 Surftech, whose Tuflite styrofoam/epoxy manufacturing technique has been the biggest thing to happen to the industry since Hobie’s garage, offers virtually every model from the world’s best shapers.
And while the custom board certainly isn’t going anywhere, when it comes to travel the Tuflite’s estimated 40% strength increase makes it a no-brainer.
I’ll assume you’re hitting the road for wave of a nature more dramatic than those you ride at home. My advice: ride a mini-gun, meaning a narrower, longer, sleeker machine than you’ve got in your garage. You may not need it on every day of your trip, but when you do need it you’ll need it very badly. Don’t under-gun!
And for just about any wave you’ll encounter, bring a 6’10” Full Flight by legendary surf adventurer Wayne Lynch. If anyone knows exotic waves and board, he does. 18.5” wide with a racy 12.6" wicked pintail, you’ll feel fast just carrying it down the cliff. Built for reef action, Tuflites hardly ever ding but bring an epoxy resin ding kit just in case.
Second choice: 8’0” Desert Island by Rusty. The name says it all. |
