6'7"x 19.5”x 2.75”

Are you inspired to feel the pleasure of surfing? The flow and rail transition that only a Brewer single fin can give? This shape theory follows the progression of the 70s’ as a “pocket rocket” with ease and versatility of drawing a long line. An versatile mini-gun that Alrik Yuill found in the Brewer family surfboard vault.

By 1974, Brewer’s shapes were the most sought after boards on the Northshore. Brewer’s down rail’s were being copied but seldom duplicated, until Alrik wrapped his hands around this board. Dick loved speed and this board harnesses and accelerates the waves energy; an experience to be felt and explored. A versatile board whose relevance becomes more real with waves that have a little juice and fast moving pockets. A great travel companion for hollow beach breaks and shallow reefs here and around the world. 

Brewer foiled 6.75” True Ames Fin: The Winged 74” comes with a reproduction of the 70’s from the Brewer families’ stash. You will be “blown away” by the hydrodynamic flow of the full entry foil a .100” thicker than your typical fin; it is an experience to be felt and may be a design from the past that is integral to the future.

Alrik Yuill “The Shapers Musing”

My intention with these boards is to keep my fingerprint to a minimum while at the same time letting things flow, channeling the spirit + my learning and feel of numerous iterations of design. Dick was a living and ever evolving shaper and designer. These shapes aren’t exact copies of one singular board but are dedicated to faithfully bringing to life the spirit within the shapes and designs.  

 Happy to have helped reawakened some life into these timeless shapes so they will be felt in the water by current and next generation of wave riders. These surfboards have been thoughtfully tuned. With the help of modern tech and dedicated friends, together we have honored Dick’s spirit.

 t started when walking around Brewer family vault of boards. It became more real when Hank Thayer’s (my neighbor at Baxter & Cicero Sailmakers) lent me his Brewer to ride; he trusted me with their prized 70’s Brewers. Then the guidance from Iconic shapers Gary Linden and Pat Rawson, and Brewer glasser Jack Reeves, I was inspired to bring the winged 74’ back to proper place in the water! This has been so meaningful to me and I am forever grateful for their voices who made this board special.

 On the tech front, Tristan scanning the original 70’s board; measuring with a mindfulness to the .001'“, Brando and Kevin delivering a precision cut, and the boys at Golden State Glassing; Brian Anderson, Jay Boy, Eddy, Ryan Manne and the perfect pin lines beautifully articulated by Terry! It took a whole lot of care by the whole crew every step of the way to give the Winged 74” a Brewer soul!
