moisture-resistant

JAPANESE HINOKI WOOD

Hinoki wood had been regarded as highly valuable interior material and building material for a long time in Japan. Hinoki wood is beautiful for having fine wood grains and white barks with a slight tint of red. Also, this wood is popular for being moderately hard and easy to be processed, and since the average growing period of Hinoki trees is longer than other conifers, the Hinoki wood is expensive when used as a building material. Its durability has been proven since it had been used in constructions of temples and shrines.

Other reasons for the popularity of Hinoki wood are its distinctive fragrance, its resistance against mold, and its resistance against insects. It is also highly durable against moisture, and so it has been used for bathtubs.

The Launcher: Surfboard Rack

After the successful release of our motorcycle surfboard rack, we started receiving numerous inquiries about the availability of a home storage rack. Upon hearing the demands from our customers, we decided to embark on designing a home surfboard rack that combines both quality and durability: introducing the Launcher.

One of the most interesting aspects of the Launcher product development was that we personally crafted not only the initial prototype but also the subsequent 25 sets. While the quantity of 25 surfboard racks may sound limited, the production time spanned over a month. As a result, we gained a deep understanding of the reasons behind each design choice and potential challenges during the manufacturing process.

The birth of the Launcher not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of a surfer's home but also serves as a showcase for their beloved boards!

Name Origin

I'm always delighted to introduce the Old Pipe vertical surfboard rack with the name Launcher to others because the name is not only apt but also vivid. Moreover, I like to mention that I came up with this name in my dreams, highlighting the pressure I was under!

The vertical rack for surfboards, when adorned with a surfboard, resembles a rocket launch pad, ready at any moment for the next water-spraying adventure in the waves.

Design

1. The appearance is clean and neat, devoid
of any unnecessary designs.

2. The embedded design enhances stability
in structure while maintaining a clean and
sleek exterior.

3. Dual bottom supports mimic cradling a
beloved surfboard with both hands, provid-
ing safety and reassurance. It is versatile for
various board shapes, including round tails,
square tails, fish tails, etc.

4. The elevated bottom design facilitates
convenient home cleaning, allowing for
smooth passage of a robotic vacuum.

5. Featuring a 3:1 perforation design, it
caters to the practical needs of surfers. Less
frequently used boards can be stored
together, while regularly used ones, when
equipped with fins, can be individually
placed.

Leather

Designed and crafted by our friends at the leather studio T.G.R, they added a slogan beneath the Old Pipe logo - "Old soul, new design." This emphasizes the designer's intention to infuse our lives with the purest ideas, blending the timeless essence with innovative design.

Founder of Old Pipe, A-Song is a surfer and good friend of VAST. Their main product line is custom motorcycle surfboard racks. We met A-Song when we were building our custom Yamaha SR’s many years back. A-Song built racks for our bikes, and then decided to come with us for the roadtrip around Taiwan. Since then we have remain great friends, built more bikes together, and gone on many more road trips together.

Old-Pipe released their Launcher board rack a couple years back. We love the over engineered and beautifully designed rack using exotic Japanese Hinoki wood, and wanted to offer this for our US customers.
