The B-52 looks like a fairly typical shortboard but it definitely doesnt ride typical. This design is becoming very popular and has quite a following . The B-52 has subtle design elements that make you surf better than you thought you could. It always surprises people and they are doing bigger and better turns than they have for years. The rocker and bottom contours create a fast and very manouverable board but the planshape gives you a solid and secure platform so there is alot of confidence that comes from that and once you have confidence in a shape, anything becomes possible. This is a shape that everyone can enjoy, its a simple thruster that just works and works well in a wide range of waves. It is the tradesman of my range. A solid all rounder for 2-5ft surf for the thruster lovers...

Bombs away!

Below are a few pix. Dims of boards in pics are 1- 5'10" x 19 1/8" x 2 1/2" , 2- 6'0" x 19 3/8" x 2 9/16", 3- 6'2" x 19 1/2" x 2 5/8"

B52 5ft 10 x 19 1/8 x 2 7/16
This is again another performer. Enough volume to make life easy paddling into the line up and catch your quota but lean enough to really carve through those critical manoeuvres. Set up as a thruster and requires far less front foot This board doesnt drive quite as fast down the line as the Quadfather but it can surf tighter around the pocket. It holds a great line and goes were ever you point it. The B52 has the ability to make you feel like a Pro, enabling you to attempt and complete manoeuvres you only dreamt about.
