The PHAZA has a subtle concave for 2/3 of the board, feathering into a soft rolled Vee under the back foot. A rail chine / V combination entry under the nose keeps the PHAZA loose and catch free. Medium low rails with a tucked under edge all the way around the board to enhance drive, traction , positive and continuous flow through turns.

HALL OF FAME SHAPER
In 2020 Mitchell Rae was inducted into the International Surfboard Builders hall of fame. This is a very prestigious award and a career highlight for Mitchell.
He was honoured to receive this award for his dedicated career to the surfboard industry.
THE STORY
Mitchell Rae first applied the distinctive eyes to the nose of his boards after visiting Bali in1972, where he saw eyes on the bow of the local fishing boats.
In Balinese folklore, the local fisherman believed that the eyes brought
their boats to life, helping to guide them home, navigate the wild
waves and give protection from the evil spirits which lived in the sea.
Inspired by the concept he designed the trademark eyes which feature
extensively on his boards.
The Spirit Eyes, as they are known, do the same for the boards, giving
them life, elevating them from foam and fibreglass to the realm of the metaphysical.
Time has tried and tested these models, own a piece of surfing history!
