Informasjon
The Spud is a hot potato that, with its low rocker, is perfect for those smaller, fun days. This board is designed to paddle easily into more gutless waves, and to generate speed through even the flattest sections. The Spud is unreal for boosting airs and for ripping apart any knee to shoulder high wave.
Order it four-to-seven-inches shorter, an eighth of an inch thicker, and two inches wider than your regular shortboard.

Produsent
For as long as he’s been a surfer, Mauricio Gil has been intrigued by the art of shaping. Beginning surfing at 12, Mauricio shaped his first board at 14 and hasn’t stopped since.
Upon graduating from Rio de Janeiro’s University of Business, Mauricio moved to California to further learn and master the art of hand shaping, under the tutelage of master shaper and industry legend, Hawaiian Donald Takayama.
After earning the trust and respect of Takayama, Mauricio was given his mentor’s blessing to shape and manufacture Hawaiian Pro Designs on the USA’s East Coast.
In the early 90s Mauricio joined forces with Australian shaper, Greg Clough, and launched Aloha Surfboards in North and South America, where he’d remain the sole shaper and licensee for over a decade.
In 2005, Mauricio and his family relocated to Sydney, where they launched MG surfboards. He’s shaped, lived, and surfed on and around the Northern Beaches, and Australia, ever since.
During his career Mauricio has shaped for the world’s best surfers, including Mick Fanning, Andy Irons, Johnny Boy Gomes, Buttons, Larry Bertlemann, T.J. Barron, Makua Rothman, Dustin Barca, Kyle Ramey, Mason Ho, Clay Marzo, Samantha Cornish, 7 time World Champion Layne Beachley, the new school Brazilian surfers from the likes of Heitor Alves to Felipe Toledo amongst the Ozzie’s like Cooper Chapman and many others.
Mauricio Gil is one of those rare shapers who is as gifted in the craft of surfboard making as he is obsessed with design. Mauricio seamlessly translates the surfboards that he makes for the world’s best surfers into designs that work for the rest of us. He’s a passionate surfer, and this passion, combined with an obsession for creating state-of-the-art surfboards means that Mauricio Gil, of MG surfboards, shapes some of the best boards in the industry.

Kort review
MG Spud – High Volume Small Wave Weapon
MG Spud er surfebrettet for deg som vil få mest mulig ut av norske bølger – spesielt de dagene der forholdene er små, løse eller ujevne. Dette high-volume shortboardet er designet for å gi maksimal fart, tidlig planing og solid drive, selv når bølgene ikke leverer den kraften du drømmer om. Med Spud i quiveren kan du doble antall surfbare dager i året og få langt mer ut av typiske Jæren-dager.
MG Surfboards har utviklet Spud som en kompakt, moderne tolkning av et småbølgebrett, men uten å ofre respons eller manøvrering. Den brede outline’en og generøse literen gir deg stabilitet og flyt, mens en lav rocker og en flatere profil sørger for at du kommer opp i fart med minimal innsats. Når bølgen bygger seg opp, sitter Spud overraskende godt i lommen og gir deg nok kontroll til både raske trims, cutbacks og lekne manøvre.
En av de største fordelene med MG Spud er hvor tilgivende og allsidig den er. Enten du kommer fra et longboard/midlength og vil inn i shortboard-universet, eller du er erfaren og ønsker et lite våpen til de mindre dagene, leverer Spud en kombinasjon av lek, stabilitet og eksplosivitet. Den korte lengden i kombinasjon med bredden gjør pop-upen enklere, gir ekstra selvtillit og gjør at du får flere sekunder på bølgen – selv når forholdene er tekniske eller hakkete (Ræva forhold).
Railsene og bunndesignet jobber sammen for å gi en jevn overgang fra rail til rail, samtidig som brettet holder moment i flate og svake seksjoner av bølgen. Du får følelsen av et brett som alltid vil fremover – perfekt for norsk høst- og vårsurf hvor energi i bølgene varierer gjennom hele sessionen.
MG Spud fungerer utmerket med både thruster og quad setup, noe som lar deg tune brettet etter forholdene. Quad gir ekstra fart og hold i raske seksjoner, mens thruster gir mer kontroll og presisjon i manøvre.
Kort fortalt: MG Spud er brettet som gjør de små dagene store. For surfere som vil ha flere surfbare dager, høy progresjon og et brett som presterer i ekte norske forhold, er dette et must i quiveren.
