NSP Slot Machine PU

Created on the North Shore, NSP PU Slot Machines are the culmination of 45 years of designing, shaping, and building boards by Carl Schaper. Tested in various contests by Team Riders, Slot Machines are well-balanced shortboards that excel in the most demanding conditions. Available in seven sizes ranging from 5’6″ to 6’5″, Slot Machines are built for the big stuff.

Slot Machine PU Design

The Slot Machine is a thinner, lower-volume version of the Pit Cruiser with a slightly more pulled nose and tail outline. Fins are positioned close to the tails and a squashed tail allows you to ride hard and launch yourself from grunty waves.

NSP Slot Machine PU Construction

A high-performance, handmade board using proven construction techniques with a satin rub for a custom board finish.

–  Traditional custom-shaped polyurethane (PU) core.
–  3.6mm Wood stringer for strength and rigidity.
– Glassing: 4oz + 4oz deck and 4oz bottom with fiber-reinforced tail patches.

These have long been the standard for most brands and are the most widely and affordable option still out there. Due to the core’s density, a PU Slot Machine will sit a little lower in the water. High-performance riders appreciate this feel as it allows you to keep your rail under and gives that slicy or “knifey” ride.

Squashed tail & fins positioned close to the tail

Designed as a pure thruster, a PU Slot Machine comes with FTU fin boxes and is compatible with Futures® Fins (fins not included).
