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.
