Tracks Craft: Featuring Tracks Cover Art
Design excellence meets dreamy aesthetics in a range of boards boasting exceptional performance and a classic, Tracks feel. Choose an under-glass decal from our selection of iconic covers. Then we’ll match the cover with a stylish, cut-lap effect. All boards are available in a host of sizes and dimensions (See the stock options below). Treat yourself to a Tracks board and make it a special addition to your personal quiver or chip in with friends to buy the ideal gift for a surfer.
All boards are designed, crafted and finished by master shaper Stuart Paterson, who has over thirty years of experience.
Behind the Design Aesthetics
Your selected, iconic cover is printed as a premium quality decal (167mm x 250mm) and placed on the deck towards the front of the board. Meanwhile, the tints featured on the Tracks boards are an organic interpretation of a colour featured on your chosen cover. All the colours are created by eye, using traditional methods. “There’s no code, there’s no computer – just paddle-pop sticks and a bucket,” explains shaper, Stuart Paterson. “Just like a painter mixing pigments on a palette to get the right colour.” Working entirely by eye, Stuart tapes the board up and uses a razor blade to create the distinctive cut-lap style, wrapping the colour around the base and rail, whilst leaving the deck white. Staining both the fibreglass cloth and the resin ensures the final colour boasts depth, resonance and pop. The end result is a board that’s beautiful to look at and even better to ride.
