Beach Buggy

Derived from the Whiplash-TB, the Beach Buggy is designed as an "every-mans" high-performance shortboard. It's favored by many WT and Qualifying Series competitors for its effectiveness in small, weak surf. This board was used by Taj Burrow to win the Hurley Pro at Lower Trestles in 2013 and has since been refined. The 2015 version features TB's hyper-extended tail rocker for tight radius arcs off the back foot, combined with a significantly more relaxed entry and central rocker. This, along with a wider nose, provides more drive, forward momentum, stability, and a larger landing platform for reverse and tweaked airs. A wider hip and tail block are added to the outline for increased lift at low speeds, while the tail width remains similar to the WL-TB, allowing for superior precision and control compared to most other "grovel" boards. With the centerline and rail volume carried farther into the rails, and out to the nose and tail, the Beach Buggy is designed to be ridden 1-2" shorter than the WHIPLASH-TB. In the right size, this is a high-performance shortboard that can be ridden and enjoyed by most surfers of average to above-average ability, not just skinny kids and pros.
