Classic Egg · 6'0 to 8'8

The classic egg is the most straightforward board on the list. No tricks, no gimmicks, just a reliable, well-rounded shape that works across a wide range of conditions and abilities. If you want one board that does most things well, this is probably it.

Family
Classic Egg
Size range
6'0 to 8'8
Fin set-up
Single or 2+1. Single gives a loose, glidy feel that suits the relaxed nature of the shape. 2+1 adds drive and hold for surfers who want more control or are riding in punchier surf.
Construction
PU, EPS or agave blank, glassed with high bio-content epoxy resin.

Outline

Smooth, continuous curves from nose to tail. The round tail keeps the outline clean and predictable. Nothing extreme in any direction.

Rocker

Low to moderate. Enough to handle steeper takeoffs without the board feeling sluggish paddling in. The low rocker keeps it fast and easy to catch waves on.

Bottom contours

Belly through the nose keeps the entry forgiving and helps prevent the nose digging on takeoff. This transitions into a single concave through the mid-section, adding lift and direction, before releasing through a vee in the tail for a softer, more pivoty feel off the back foot.

Rails and tail

Smooth, continuous curves from nose to tail with a clean round tail.

Good for

All-round performance, beginners progressing from a foamie, intermediate surfers wanting something reliable, small to overhead surf, and surfers who want one board that covers most bases.
