Who is the 8ft 6in Wide Body Surf SUP best for?

If you want a shortboard style surf SUP that delivers incredible performance without making you struggle to stay balanced, this is your board. Measuring 32 inches wide, it is designed for riders who want to carve waves but need extra stability in choppy Florida lineups. At $1,499, it is on our showroom shelves at The Boardroom Downtown in Melbourne, FL right now—come check it out!

How does the Wide Body compare to the Ghost Carbon or Bamboo Surf SUPs?

The Wide Body gives you a wider, more stable platform than our narrower, sports-car 8ft 6in Ghost Carbon SUP. It lets you stand comfortably in sloppy surf while still digging deep into your turns. If you prefer a completely different feel with a classic, flowing longboard style instead, make sure to look at our longer 9ft 5in Bamboo Surf SUP.

What is the design and construction of the Wide Body Surf SUP?

Don't let the extra stability fool you—this is a true high-performance shortboard shape. It features a premium vacuum-bagged construction and we added a Paulownia wood shell that keeps the board ultra-strong and incredibly light. It is built to hold a solid, clean edge on the wave face, giving you total control during tight turns while making it easy to paddle back out to the lineup.
