view credits Short Board Designs


My short boards are designed for maximum performance in a wide variety of conditions. Fast and loose from takeoff to pullout, smooth transitions without catching, and plenty of speed are the features that go into the design of every board. The majority of boards feature a single to double concave bottom or just a single concave from nose to tail for those riders who like a more explosive blast of speed for the big air move.

Some riders prefer a relatively flat bottom or channels and I’m always happy to work with the rider to customize a shape for their specific needs. Rail design is typically soft forward turning downward to a semi block tail section with a crisp edge on the bottom for speed and increased holding in the barrel.

Deck contour can be varied to match the rail volume (i.e. full, medium-full, medium -taper, tapered). Light surfers will want a thinner board with thinner rails while heavier surfers may prefer a thicker board with thicker rails.
