Burner

Super capable in about anything you want to throw it into — the Burner represents something that a lot of midlength designs from Ryan Lovelace lack: a bit of neutrality. While it has plenty of spark off the back foot due to a nice little single concave out the fins, this design's major highlights are smooth glide and predictability underfoot. Burners are a trustworthy travel board and a loyal daily driver.

On one side of the coin these are a shortboard for people who don't shortboard; at the same time, they're a midlength for lifelong performance shortboarders. The Burner is a very happy middle ground that's rarely out of place.

Fin setups stay flexible: 2+1 has been the baseline, with Twin, Quad, Twinzer, and classic 2+1 among the options. Available from 6' to 6'10. Stock sizing questions: e-mail Jeremy at Jeremy@LovemachineSurfboards.com.
