Hot Stuff’s star shaper is a fella by the name of Dale Wilson - A keen surfer and musician, Dale is the creative genius behind the Hot Stuff surfboard range. 11 years ago he arrived on the Gold Coast, found a flat, bought a car, and wandered into a surfboard factory looking for work - the very same day our sander had left town - Dale started with Hot Stuff immediately. Read the full story or email Dale now if you need advice on a new quality hand-shaped surfboard.

Hot Stuff is not into mass production, we don’t want anything to do with it. We’re still making hand-crafted surfboards and finish coated fiberglass fine quality boards - that’s what we are famous for, what we are really proud of and that’s the only quality we will put our names to, all of us. The guys that buy our boards recognize that, know what quality means and come back time after time. Check out our range of boards:

THE GUN

This is the main battle board in 5’ to 8’ surf. A good 7’0” has to have a broad range, so loose enough to have fun in smaller waves but provide plenty of horse-power when the surf starts to pump and you need to get serious. THE GUN is the back bone of any serious surfers quiver. Usually between 6’4” – 7’4”

Soul

Built for chest high and up, the SOUL is for swoop and glide rather than slash and burn. With a fuller outline and flatter rocker, and a subtle rounded square tail, the SOUL allows for flowing arc’s and lets you carve like the old days. Premium paddling also makes this the perfect big buys board. Usually between 6’0” – 7’6”

Fun Board

A high performance fun board, for those folks who want something a bit more forgiving. Paddles like a long board, but rips like a short board. Perfect for that beginner or that tiny wave day. Usually between 6’6” – 7’ 6 “

Fish

The ultimate ‘hot dog’ board and it paddles. With its wider nose and lowered nose rocker the FISH by Hot Stuff solves the problems of the normal hot dog boards. The FISH increases paddling with losing any of the rip it up characteristics. Usually between 5’6” – 6’8”

Flyer

This board fly’s in small surf. A refined version of the FISH thinned down and more rocker, the FLYER will put zing in your quiver and make your small wave sessions awesome. Usually between 5’10” – 6’10”

Squirt

High performance surfing is what the SQUIRT is all about for maximum return on this design, plan on serious paddling because the SQUIRT is at its best when thinned down for minimum resistance. Your specs with weight and height are real important for a close fit. Usually between 5’8” – 6’10”

Channel Bottom

The Channel is a High performance board suited to most conditions, but excelling in powerful waves like Indo, Hawaii etc. Channels produce a lot more speed than concaves and hold on in critical positions. The Ferrari!!!

Retro Single Fin

Want to go back to the 80’s, Huge bottom turn hit the lip Drive off the bottom again move out to the shoulder, then pull a huge arching roundhouse cut back and bounce off the lip, stall then your covered for your 5 second tube – pop out and do it again!!! We are the masters of the 80’s surfing. So if you want a piece of history this board is a must in your collection.
