The Buddy has a wider nose and tail outline than our high performance boards, with a medium/ low entry rocker and a medium exit rocker. The Buddy also has a slight hip in the tail outline just in front of your fins, helping break the water flow and giving you a pivot point to turn off of. This helps you get up in the lip with ease when the wave face isn't super steep. The hip in the tail allows the rails to be a little more parallel between your feet making speed generation feel more effortless. It has a single concave running to a slightly extended double and a more aggressive V exit after the rear fin. The Buddy is meant to be surfed in punchy waist high surf to head high surf.

The Buddy comes stock as a squash but can easily accommodate a swallow or round tail.
