Introducing the Humboldt—the most versatile shortboard in our quiver. This buoyant, fast, and responsive board is often hailed as the “one board quiver,” excelling in both small, mushy conditions and more substantial swells.
The slight rocker in the nose and tail facilitates late entries and enhances paddling ease, while the flatter midsection delivers exceptional speed once you’re on your feet. A moderate double concave through the tail channels water flow through the fins, enhancing speed and providing a looser, more responsive feel during turns. The double concave also offers increased lift and stability, making it suitable for various wave conditions. Whether you’re navigating 2-foot crumbly waves or 8-foot walls, the Humboldt adapts seamlessly, ensuring an exhilarating ride every time.
We named it the Humboldt in honor of the Humboldt Current—a highly productive ecosystem and the most prolific eastern boundary current system—reflecting the board’s adaptability and performance across diverse surfing conditions.
Our Bomb Proof Tech (BPT) construction ensures unparalleled durability without compromising performance. Incorporating carbon inlays beneath the automotive clear coat, this design offers optimal flex combined with exceptional strength, empowering you to push your limits with confidence.
