Shaped by Bill Atlee at Escape Surfboards. Bill founded Escape Surfboards in 1997. Bill says "My first experience of surfboard construction came in 1974, when after surfing already for 8 years I decided that as a qualified boat-builder and now a joiner it would be cheaper if I made my own boards. From this came a dedication to the craft and lots of boards made and surfed.

In 1982 he was co-founder of ‘Lightwave Sailboards’ which with the inspiration of Californian Clyde Beatty was leading the way in defining techniques in making super lightweight surf and sailboards utilising epoxy and polystyrene construction. ‘Lightwave’ went on to become one of the most successful European board manufacturers, we were producing up to 600 sail + 200 surfboards per year, alongside our range of accessories and clothing In 1992 he left ‘Lightwave’ to set up business in ‘Brest’ northern France, as a specialist in high performance short surfboards and longboards, he really learnt the meaning of ‘custom’!

In 1996 a partner joined the business and Bill was able to return to Cornwall, supplying his French contacts and re-built my UK market. Since then Escape has produced surfboards for several major companies and continued to produce custom boards to the highest level.

- The concept behind the Screamer is simple ,design a board that paddles fast ,takes waves early and is fast and controllable in as many wave states/sizes as possible

- To compensate for the narrow tail area we have added single concave and channels ,these features effectively increase the wetted surface area and force the water between the fins

- They also provide great lateral drive to the board so it’s more comfortable than a more conventional wide tail ‘Fish’ style board when riding in critical sections or near the pocket

- And if that was not enough we fit the board with Escape’s Convert fin set-up system so you can ride the board as a quad ,thruster ,twin ,two & a half ,five fin add to that different sizes and it is endless

- Can be custom made in made different sizes but recommended between 5'10 or 7'2. Customs can be ordered in either PU or Epoxy.

- This board can be demoed in store across a range of sizes!

- We try to guarentee these boards are held in stock at all times but if not then custom orders are constantly being shaped and can be customised to your exact needs!
