Sustainable Wooden Surfboard Shapes: The 6’8 Riser

6’8” x 20 1/4” x 2 1/2” 38.5 l

Designed to perform in the best waves, The Riser will get you into and out of some truly memorable situations. A 6’8” semi-gun with a sleek outline to suit steep drops and optimise manoeuvrability, the rounded pintail and quad-fin option will hold in on critical sections allowing you to paddle for the wave of your life with confidence and make it to the end of the line ready to paddle back to get another one.

A design that was born of workshop discussions of the ideal winter board, resulting in a board that has great paddle-ability, a good bit of floatation that will get you into bigger waves and a trusted template that you can rely on.

A medium rocker line, pulled out rounded tail template and pinched rails are the elements of this board that are all about performance in larger surf. This is our Chris’ go-to board when the waves move from the ‘friendly and playful’ to the ‘more challenging’ realm.

On the bigger, powerful and hollow days on the North and South Coast of Cornwall we can always count on Chris and a select group of locals to push the boundaries in heavy surf on the 6’8 Riser…

As with all of our hollow wooden surfboards, you have the option to make your own.

All of our sustainable, hollow wooden surfboards are made using wood from local, regenerative woodlands and are intended for a lifetime of waves. Custom made or make your own.
