2014 Catalog

Each wave ridden, each lake explored and each river conquered tells a fun story. We at Imagine Surf are lucky enough to be part of that wave, lake and river. We are lucky enough to be part of that story. Simply put, we make things that help write the story. But these are not anything kind of things. These are good things. These are things dreamed up by the human mind and handcrafted by the human hand whose sole purpose is to have fun. At Imagine, we can’t think of a better reason to design, test and build things if not to have fun. For 2014, we present a bunch of things that will allow you

to have as much fun as possible on the water. We have built a bunch of things to help everybody to experience and enjoy this great sport and lifestyle we call paddle boarding. We do not measure ourselves by the size of our line or the complexity or variety of these things we build, but by how much fun these things are to use and how many people we can introduce this fun lifestyle to. This is the reason we say we don’t just make paddle boards, we make paddleboarders. We hope to see you on the water.

WE DON’T JUST MAKE PADDLE BOARDS, WE MAKE PADDLEBOARDERS

We have a saying around the water cooler at Imagine. How can you trust your equipment if your designer doesn’t know how to use the products they design? Fortunately for us, our head designer also happens to be the guy who helped start it all. Dave Kalama certainly needs no introduction, but for those who may not be aware, he reintroduced stand up paddleboarding to the masses in the mid 90’s with good friend Laird. Dave is a Hawaiian waterman who comes from a lineage of sur� ng and paddling champions. He has been at the start of it all- professional windsur� ng, pioneering

“It is important to me to team up with a company that shares my philosophy, ethics, and authenticity...”

big wave tow sur� ng, and stand up paddleboarding. Designing his own equipment in each of these disciplines has given Dave a wealth of experience that is built into each product Imagine makes. If you are ever fortunate enough to attend one of Dave’s Kalama Kamps, you will have the chance to rub shoulders with one of our sports true legends, and witness the level of expertise, information and passion he brings to the world of standup paddleboarding and Imagine Surf.

BOARD TECHNOLOGYFor 2014 we have three board construction technology options all designed to deliver maximum fun for your SUP needs- Epoxy, Plastic and In� atable. You may be asking yourself “How do I know which kind of technology would be right for me?” It all depends on where you will be using your board, what you will be using your board for, and lets face it, how much money you have to spend on a board.

EPOXY TECHNOLOGYEpoxy started it all. This technology comes from the surf industry and consists of light foam shapes wrapped with mixtures of � berglass cloth, wood veneers and epoxy resin. This is technology perfected by surfboard builders and brought to stand up paddling. Epoxy boards are light, sti� , and great performers, but are less durable than plastic or in� atable boards. As each board takes over 20 hours to build and materials are not cheap, they tend to be more expensive than plastic or in� atable varieties. Each epoxy model is built slightly di� erent according to intended use. Check out these construction methods in the following pages.

PLASTIC TECHNOLOGYOur plastic boards are extremely durable, perform great and have great out� tting features in an a� ordable price range. They are hollow boards constructed similar to a plastic kayak, and tend to be heavier than epoxy or in� atable boards. There is a reason that plastic is the number one material for all kayaks on the water- it paddles great and withstands years of use at a great price. Our plastic boards are made using a complex blow molding process that allows us to use 20% post consumer recycled content and form a 100% recyclable product. We like this, and so does the ocean.

INFLATABLE TECHNOLOGYOur in� atable boards are light, durable, portable and are gaining popularity at an accelerated rate. They cost more than a plastic board and � t in just below an epoxy board. We use a technology called drop stitch where hundreds of thousands of threads connect the deck to the bottom of the board. This allows the boards to be pumped up to 19 psi making them extremely sti� for an in� atable product. If you have concerns about durability, weight, storage or travel logistics, our in� atable boards are the answer. They even come in a transportable backpack!

The updated Kalama Rocket once again shoots to the front of the pack. Dave knows a thing or two about speed and board design. The Rocket will not disappoint.

The new bow, updated outline and rail shape all combine to create one slippery board. A clever rocker line makes the Rocket excel on � atwater, chop and slop. No need for a � atwater board and an open ocean board– the Rocket blasts over and through it all. A subtle touch having Dave’s mantra “Breath & Reach” located just in front of the feet reminds you that you are riding the ultimate thoroughbred racing machine. Crocskin deck pad, comfy-grip handle, and Full Custom Intec construction makes the Rocket comfortable, durable, light and sti� .

This is a board for your core workouts, to entertain the family and for the weekend adventure including stroking onto a few waves.

Dave Kalama’s ultimate all-around design, the Recruit is the most stable and versatile planning hull on the market that still surfs like a performance board if you have the skills. Big claim we know, but trust us, Dave has spent hundreds of hours (since the beginning of SUP as we know it) paddling, sur� ng and building prototype boards to perfect the Recruit.

The recruit is con� dence boosting for � atwater paddling with generous volume and width through the center to beef up stability, but really shines in the Surf thanks to its progressive rocker and thinned out nose and tail. For the less experienced Surfer or big guys looking for a stable performance Surf shape the Recruit has you covered. Crocskin full deck pad, comfy-grip handle, windsurf rig ready and tuf-skin pressure molded Intec construction makes the Recruit a great all-around board.
