AvailableShortboard
From $40 · $70 for 24 hours
Fastest board in the TEC line. Twin fin, loose enough for tight turns, big planing area that still works when the surf is average.
AvailableMid-length
From $40 · $70 for 24 hours
Carbon-strip epoxy funboard. Extra tail rocker keeps it loose on rail, so it's a good step down from a longboard.
AvailableMid-length
From $40 · $70 for 24 hours
High-performance mini-mal in Torq Epoxy Composite. Extra volume for paddle power, more tail rocker so it still feels lively on a rail.
AvailableMid-length
From $40 · $70 for 24 hours
Heavy-duty hybrid mid-length. Longboard wave count, shortboard turns — built for bigger surfers and transitioning intermediates.
AvailableMid-length
From $40 · $70 for 24 hours
The middle size and the easy pick. Glides early, forgiving underfoot, still short enough to turn when you want to.
AvailableMal
From $40 · $70 for 24 hours
Plenty of float and stability. If you want to actually catch waves on your first few surfs, this is the one.
AvailableMal
From $40 · $70 for 24 hours
Second 8'2 in the rack, so you and a mate can both get out there on something that works.
