NMD boards are made by Mez in indo, in the same factory that produces VS, LMNOP, HB, SCIENCE, SNIPER, some TOYS, some TURBO, MOREY, BZ, ELIT and even more brands… They’re all really good boards with a solid construction (Buzz Tech Laminators), CNC Machine precision for the cut of the core blanks, and hand shaped finitions for all boards (rails, nose and tail bumpers, nose bulbs & lamination process).
We’ve tested the NMD Ben Player 41.5 3D board in a wide range of conditions and waves, same as we did with the PE board model back in 2009. The PE core was getting flexier and softer recently so we went for a 3D core board, looking for something that will feel more like a real good DOW core (PE) board from back when the PE was super good.

As we just read on Michael’s blog today, “Michael Novy suffered major back injuries after a heavy beat down at Indies on the NSW Central Coast this morning”. – Michael said “I just got out of hospital, got three fractured vertebrae. No damage to my spinal cord though, just two months outta the water and plenty of physio”.
We hope Michael will get better very quickly and will be back in the water soon.

What was kinda of just a rumor is now official, Jeff “Hubb” Hubbard rides for Agent 18 now. There’s a cool little video clip of Jeff ripping with his new springy from Agent 18 here on the Riptide website. Jeff rips. So much speed and projection out of small waves on that clip.
