Love Machine FM

This unique set will provide lots of speed, drive, and the ability for heavy rail carves and fluid arcing turns when paired with the FM.

The Man Behind The Love Machine

Ryan Lovelace is a renowned surfboard shaper celebrated for his innovative designs and deep connection to surf culture. His journey began at 19 when he started crafting boards due to financial constraints. This passion evolved into a career, and by 2019, he had shaped over 5,000 custom boards.

Lovelace's FM surfboard, introduced in 2019, exemplifies his design philosophy. The FM blends the three-dimensionality of the v.Bowls with the forgiveness of the ThickLizzy. This fusion results in a high-performing midlength board with smooth on-rail transitions and explosive cutbacks.

A standout feature of the FM is its unique channel design. While visually striking, the channel serves as a release point, allowing water to flow off the rail. This design choice provides a lighter feel underfoot and enhances maneuverability. The board's rocker combines a slightly turned-up Lizzy front with a v.Bowls centerline back, offering versatility across wave types.

The FM's fin setup is a spread-out twinzer configuration, positioned 2 inches in from the rail and slightly taller than typical keels. This setup retains drive in a straight line while delivering a rail-fin board's responsiveness. Lovelace notes that the FM allows for single-fin style lines and heavy carves, elevating his surfing experience.

Available in sizes ranging from 6'6" to 9'6", the FM caters to various surfing styles and conditions. Its design encourages active rail engagement and dynamic turns, making it suitable for average to good waves. The board's versatility and performance have garnered attention from surfers worldwide.

Through the FM, Ryan Lovelace has solidified his reputation as a visionary in surfboard design. His commitment to blending tradition with innovation continues to inspire surfers and shapers alike.
