The FMTR is Here - Timmy Reyes' New High Performance Surfboard

The FMTR was developed hand-in-hand with Timmy Reyes, shaped and refined swell by swell over the past year with one clear goal: create a shorter, more performance-driven board that can handle steep, hollow, powerful surf without forcing the rider into a longer step-up. ​ The outline features a more high-performance feel while still maintaining a fuller, user-friendly nose. This allows for confidence on late, steep drops while keeping enough volume under the chest to paddle into bigger days without sacrificing wave count. ​ The rails have been lowered and refined compared to traditional mid-volume designs — not extreme, but tuned just enough to provide better bite, control, and hold in critical sections. This rail profile, combined with the pulled-in tail, keeps the board locked in on fast, hollow faces and prevents excess volume from getting in the way during hard turns or late takeoffs. ​ The standard tail is a round pin tail, offering smooth rail-to-rail transitions and control at higher speeds and more powerful or hollow conditions for added hold and precision. ​ Designed with versatility in mind, the FMTR performs exceptionally well as a thruster, but Timmy also fine-tuned it to work surprisingly well as a twin + trailer, making it equally fun and fast on smaller days. This dual-fin personality allows the board to transition seamlessly from punchy beach breaks to lined-up point surf. ​ Timmy typically rides the FMTR about 2 inches shorter than his standard shortboard, keeping it lively and responsive, but it can easily be sized up a few inches depending on wave size and personal preference. ​ The FMTR is a performance-driven design built for surfers who want: ​ A shorter board that paddles well in solid surf Control and hold on steep, hollow drops High-performance surfing without excess tail volume A board that adapts across a wide range of conditions ​ From powerful wedges to lined-up points and even fun days when paired with alternative fin setups, the FMTR is a refined, modern performance board designed to push limits without compromise. ​ **Fun Fact: Timmy Reyes doesn't leave home without it, its always in the truck!
