53 – Pearl White – 6’6″ x 21 1/2″ x 2 7/8″ (43.54L) – High Performance Fins Included

Lightweight, strong, ultra-responsive carbon shortboard with Quad/Thruster setup—built for speed, control and drive in varied waves.

Smart Aesthetics – Colored Decks for Real-World Use

We chose to color the deck of our carbon boards not just for looks, but for practical reasons. Raw black carbon absorbs heat under the sun, which can lead to board damage over time and causes wax to melt much faster—creating a mess and affecting grip during your session.

A colored deck significantly reduces heat absorption, helping to preserve the board’s structural integrity and keeping the wax stable for longer. It also maintains a cleaner, more polished look ride after ride. In short: better performance, longer life, and a better surfing experience.

THE ULTIMATE ALL-AROUND PERFORMER

The FIFTY THREE is a versatile, high-performance surfboard designed for speed, control, and effortless paddling. Its compact and streamlined shape makes it ideal for a wide range of conditions, from small, playful beach breaks to powerful overhead waves. Whether you’re a progressing surfer or a seasoned pro, the FIFTY THREE delivers a smooth, fast, and highly maneuverable ride.

Its low-rocker profile, flat throughout with a slight lift at the entry, maximizes speed and drive, helping surfers connect sections that would typically be out of reach. The bottom contour transitions from a rolled vee entry to a subtle single concave, blending into a vee double through the tail, ensuring exceptional rail-to-rail control and fluid transitions.

Built with our Next Generation Vacuum Bagging Carbon Epoxy Construction, the FIFTY THREE is lightweight, durable, and highly responsive. The 5-fin FUTURES setup allows for thruster or quad configurations, letting you fine-tune your ride for different conditions.

For experienced surfers, we recommend riding it 1-2 inches shorter than your usual shortboard for a more responsive feel.

Who Is It For?

Surfers of all levels looking for a fast, forgiving, and versatile shortboard.

Progressing riders who want to step up their game with a board that blends performance and ease of use.

Why choose the 53?

Smooth Rail-to-Rail Transitions
