This Fantastic Acid x Pukas Collab Is Insane

Cosmic Basque Country vibrations.

How crazy is this collection of boards coming out of Zarautz?

Our friends at PUKAS just hosted Fantastic Acid, who is an actual person, a man, a Frenchman, actually, named  Tristan Mausse. 

Absolute wild men: Aitor Molina, Tristan Mausse aka Fantastic Acid, and Adur Letamendia.

Mausse/Fantastic Acid makes some the most gorgeous variations of one of surfboard designs most bastard children, a design so not “high performance” it sits in a strange genre all its own, somewhere between the kneeboard and the egg: the fucking Displacement Hull. 

Orignally the result of Micky Dora disciple Esteban Bojorquez and one Greg Liddle, who designed boards inspired by the kneeboarding of George Greenough…

Oh for fuck’s sake, you don’t want a history lesson. 

Go check out more of Fantastic Acid’s rigs here, and PUKAS insane international range, here.
