Frequently Asked Questions
What is the R-Series made of?
R-Series boards are built from a solid, recyclable foam that’s molded for durability and finished with a wax-free deck. They’re designed to handle real surf, without the worry of dings or delamination.
Do I need to wax my R-Series board?
No wax needed. The textured deck provides reliable grip whether you’re surfing in warm or cool water — just grab it and go.
How does the R-Series compare to a fiberglass board?
Fiberglass boards offer the traditional feel and flex of handcrafted glassing, while the R-Series delivers everyday durability and low maintenance. Both share the same design DNA — each R-Series model is based directly on one of our proven fiberglass shapes.
Can beginners surf the R-Series?
Absolutely. The R-Series was designed to help new and progressing surfers catch more waves and build confidence, while still performing at a high level for experienced riders.
Where are R-Series boards made?
All R-Series boards are made in the USA, designed in California, and built to last through years of daily surf.
Is the R-Series environmentally friendly?
Yes. Every R-Series board is 100% recyclable. When your board eventually reaches the end of its life, it can be returned and reprocessed — keeping materials in use and out of landfills.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes. If we don’t have a default shipping option for your country, just reach out for a custom freight quote. We’ll help find the safest and most affordable way to get your board to you.
