Overview

High-Performance Carbon Range – Slater Designs Mindcraft I-Bolic Model The Mindcraft X by Daniel Thomson, in collaboration with Kelly Slater, stands as the most minimalist design optimized for pure function, extreme speed, and a mind surfing experience.

Taking inspiration from advanced vacuum lamination, the Proflex Technology introduces highest-performance carbon construction—a smart refinement combining a premium core matrix and carbon lamination that injects more lively response and exceptional structural integrity when the wave softens. Under your feet, a volume-distributed planning surface resists drag and sluggishness, while an internal structural framework replicates natural flex patterns, giving you the authentic, lively ride you need to fly through flat sections and hit every pocket with power.

The Mindcraft X keeps the energy high even when the waves don’t, offering progressive, modern performance in conditions where you want to cruise, trim, or improve your technique. Snappy, fast, reactive—it's a go-to when you want to bring full throttle, pinpoint precision surfing into everyday sessions.

We recommend this board for intermediate to advanced surfers looking to build and maintain speed with ease, designed to be ridden several inches shorter than your standard shortboard in 2 to 6-foot conditions to maximize flow and spark.

If you're chasing high-performance lines in average surf—the Mindcraft X will keep you firing.

This model is recommended for surfers looking for a fast, lively board that shines in waves with power and punchy pockets, optimized to work equally well in either Quad or Thruster configurations.
