The 5'5 Big Betsy:

Inspired by the classic lines of a mid 70’s Cadillac, the Big Betsy pushes the boundaries for board shapes and performance capabilities in a soft top surfboard. Despite being in the Soft Top category, the 5’5 hybrid surfboard is no joke.

For those who really surf all the time simply because they can and they need to, the same people who will only surf shortboards, well this Big Betsy is for you. It’s all about packing as much speed and power into that compact 5’5 shape.

Real surfers have been absolutely frothing on this board. It keeps the surfing level very high but still sneaks in the tried and true soft top benefits of added buoyancy and paddle power. All that float and water flows right through the single concave, through the bottom deck channel, and shot out the tail.

The Big Betsy is easily one of the best value shortboard surfboards available in the industry today.

Heavy cutbacks, consistent cracks at the lip, and airborne maneuvers are regularly happening on the Big Betsy in mediocre conditions. Our only warning, if you are short-order and a 5’5 Big Betsy, you can simply tell any other boards in your quiver you won’t be seeing them anytime soon.

All South Bay Board Co. Hybrid Surfboards are phenomenal summer boards that easily exceed the demands of experienced and advanced surfers, while still being very beginner friendly and easy to use for those just starting out on their surfing journey.

ABOUT US

South Bay Board Co. is a family owned and operated Board & Beach Company. We realized our industry was prioritizing the profits of big box stores and surf shops over YOU, the customer. Off the rack prices in shops these days are OBSCENE!

We knew we could make way better boards for beginners and intermediate surfers and paddlers, so we had no choice but to send it - and we are very happy we did!

Our mission is simply to provide the absolute best quality materials and premium performance focused shapes to you without breaking your bank account. We wanted to ensure that if you did decide to spend your hard earned money on an epic new SBBC board, that you would be absolutely stoked on your order, from the unboxing all the way to the last session with it out in the water!
