Performance Surfboards

Shop performance surfboards for experienced surfers chasing speed, drive, hold and sharper turning. This collection covers performance shortboards, step-ups, grovellers and hybrid designs from brands such as Sharpeye, DHD, Channel Islands, JS, Lost and Zak.

Choose based on the wave range you want to cover. Clean beach breaks and reefs may suit a true shortboard, smaller waves may need a groveller, and stronger surf may need extra length or hold.

Buying help

Who should buy a performance surfboard?

Performance boards suit surfers who already generate speed, control rail turns and want a board that responds quickly.

What is the difference between a shortboard and groveller?

A groveller usually has more width, foam and small-wave speed. A shortboard is usually more precise in better waves.

When do I need a step-up?

Use a step-up when waves have more size, speed or consequence and your everyday shortboard feels too short or loose.

Should I size down?

Only size down if you have the paddling fitness and skill to keep catching waves. Too little volume can make average days frustrating.

Bring your current board dimensions and the wave range you want to improve before choosing a new performance board.
