Design

After a slightly frustrating, mostly inspiring surf on a mini Simmons I shaped the first Butterball. I totally dug the straight plan-shape which allows you to go so short, and the extra thickness gave great paddle and a buoyant ‘above the water’ feel, which feels great in small waves, think fun! The 4 fin set-up gives it positive direction, you just think and it turns, but works with the parallel outline for length projection. The stringer-less blank lets you load power into a turn and flings out with speed. A novelty board that can be taken as serious (or not) as you like. Fun fact: Butterball was my nick-name as a toddler, apparently I had super fat round brown cheeks and a shock of white blond hair.. Bennie Butterball…..Thanks mum n dad…    

5'5" Butterball

Features

5'5" Butterball

Pancake flat rocker

All volume is used effectively for paddle power and buoyancy that acts as a hoverboard across dead sections.

5'5" Butterball

Stepped Rail

Tons of volume yet still a low, sensitive, shortboard-esque rail.

5'5" Butterball

Stringer-less construction

Coil & un coil. Stores energy through turns and releases that energy into speed. Your best mate in small waves!
