Shortboards are the go-to choice for surfers chasing speed, precision, and performance. These boards are designed to thrive in steep, powerful waves and allow experienced riders to execute quick turns, vertical snaps, floaters, airs, and other advanced maneuvers. With a pointed nose, narrow outline, and thinner rails, shortboards respond quickly to shifts in weight, giving surfers full control over their movements on the wave.

Each board in our shortboard lineup is a premium product handcrafted on Maui by a master shaper, ensuring every curve and contour is shaped with intention, performance, and quality in mind. These are not off-the-rack boards—they’re tailored for serious surfers who expect the best under their feet.

Because they have less volume than longboards or funboards, shortboards require more effort to paddle and can be challenging when it comes to catching waves—especially for beginners. That’s why they’re best suited for intermediate to advanced surfers who already have solid paddling strength, wave selection skills, and a good understanding of ocean dynamics.

To protect your board and your ride, every shortboard is delivered in a brand-new Da Kine bag—offering sun protection and preventing dings or damage to your rental car. We also include durable straps to ensure your board is securely fastened to your vehicle, giving you peace of mind on the road.

While shortboards aren’t ideal for small, mushy surf, they really come alive in clean, hollow conditions. Their responsiveness allows for high-speed lines and tight carves in the pocket, offering the kind of performance that more experienced surfers crave.

If you’re ready to push your limits, take on more challenging breaks, and unlock the full potential of your surfing, a shortboard is your weapon of choice. It’s not just about riding waves—it’s about attacking them with style and power.
