The Beard of ZEUS has a generous amount of volume under the chest allowing easy paddling and you will be able to ride this board shorter than your normal short board. It is a wave catching machine designed for the everyday surfer riding everyday waves! This hybrid design mixes features from two board types (fun board and shortboard) in order to find a good balance between power, drive and maneuverability. The Beard of Zeus is a proven all-rounder that can do a lot of everything, it paddles well and catches waves easily, generates speed quickly on takeoff and maintains performance when the surf starts to pump with its rounded tail.
