SYNTHETIC ’84

The T Patterson Surfboards Synthetic '84 is a modern homage to the surfing legacy of the 1980s, specifically crafted by Timmy Patterson himself. This board encapsulates a blend of nostalgia and contemporary performance, designed to cater to both seasoned veterans and new enthusiasts alike. With a price point of $1,145.00, the Synthetic '84 stands out in the lineup for its unique design attributes and exceptional versatility. Pioneered in New Zealand and available for custom orders, this surfboard embraces the spirit of innovation while remaining grounded in tradition.

One of the most compelling features of the Synthetic '84 is its hybrid profile, ideally situated between a classic shortboard and a performance shape like the Rising Sun. The board exhibits a fuller outline, enhancing wave count and performance in crowded lineups. Its design includes a lower rocker, transitioning from a flat bottom to a subtle single concave that evolves into a slight double concave, tapering off into a vee tail, allowing for smooth transitions and rapid acceleration off the lip. Notably, the board offers options for customization, including tail shape variations—bump squash or bump round—and the addition of classic belly four channels for improved grip and performance underfoot.

Constructed with a flat deck profile and down rail, the Synthetic '84 ensures maximized volume for buoyancy while giving riders the ability to engage that volume effectively at critical moments. Those looking for a significant performance edge will appreciate that it's best ridden approximately 2 inches shorter than traditional shortboards, allowing for more agile maneuvering. Complete with a tri-fin setup, this board has been rigorously tested by top surfers, receiving overwhelmingly positive feedback, highlighted by the exhilarating "psych meter" that peaks for those daring to ride it. The Synthetic '84 is not just a board; it is an experience that merges past artistry with the demands of modern surfing.
