Turbo Surf Designs (Turbo) was founded in Hawaii in 1983 by the legendary Russ Brown (“Captain Turbo”). Right from its launch in the revolutionary days of bodyboarding, Turbo set its own course creating a long association with QUALITY and INNOVATION. In 1983, Turbo rocked the bodyboarding industry by providing a viable alternative to the colossal Morey Boogie dominance - a stiff board that could be custom tailored to suit your riding preferences. Prior to this innovation, the bodyboard was a soft over-flexible piece of foam. Turbo revolutionized the sport of bodyboarding and has set its own course since.

25 years on, Turbo continues this legacy of innovation with the introduction of the new “Flex Response Core”. The Flex Response Core (FRC) is a purpose built core for bodyboarders, which combines the best features of the traditional PE and PP cores. The result is a durable, lightweight, one-piece core with superior memory, flex, recoil and projection properties. You will be amazed!

The revolutionary FRC core has been combined with Turbo’s tri-stringer system. The three stringers are encased inside the core during its manufacture, custom built to Turbo’s specifications, providing the perfect structural flex in all conditions.

Turbo’s unique offering to the world of bodyboarding is making the FRC core with tri-stringer technology available via two avenues. The choice is yours

• Ride a piece of bodyboarding history with the iconic Turbo IV board with FRC core and tri-stringer system (available is all good stores), or
• Custom design your own piece of history, using the FRC core with tri-stringer system, combined with your own template and colour combination by ordering a hand crafted custom made board from the Turbo factory in Australia.
