We launched
SURFBOARDS CALIFORNIA in 1995 to offer the very finest in quality
and design of classically inspired single fin surfboards. Over
the years we have tested and refined a few of our most popular
models to reflect the golden era of surfboard development in
the 1960's. Here now is our lineup for 2007/08 of classic and
retro designed boards. |

The Classic Nothing shows the beauty of the classic curves of this all time favorite as three redwood stringers and a wood tail block. This relaxed rocker, soft-railed smooth rider was inspired by the some of the early team models when Hobie and Gordon and Smith had the hottest, most versatile surfers cruising Southern California on their own models. We start with a very curvy, slightly pulled template and pinch the rails just to get a little more speed and bite. This model also available in Volan glass. A light tint will enhance the looks without covering up its natural beauty.

The Noserider We pulled the hips way back on this board to make for a more pivot style of turning. The slightly narrow nose allows for less swing weight up front but still enough platform to rest all ten toes. There is a long flowing concave that breaks into a smooth rounded Vee bottom to enhance the fluid turning from the tail. In the mid sixties, noseriders were the board of choice in the beach breaks, and this one borrows heavily from some of the best like Bing and Jacobs. Add some fantastic resin color to this trippie model. Also available in Volan glass. |

The Mini's We offer both the Classic Three Stringer and the Noserider (shown here) in under 9 foot lengths for the smaller surfer, or for those who just want a quick, fun beach break board. |

The Egg As the longboard started to decline in popularity at the end of the 60's, boards became drastically shorter very quickly. The Egg model was the first of these new shorter designs. We have gone back and found this little nugget to be a great addition to any quiver. It has a full rounded template to get you into the wave and a large singe fin for power drives. We kept the bottom flat with just a touch of roll under the nose. Soft pinched rails help hold this board to the face of the wave without spinning out. Sixties style tints and resin pigments make this a real eye catcher. In Lengths from 6'2" to 7'6" |
 |
The Fish The Fish was developed right here in San Diego as an off-shoot of the kneeboards being ridden at Sunset Cliffs at the time of the transition period of surfboard development. Our fish go back to those early designs with soft pinched rails, full volume templates and large fish tails. Our Fish all come with hand-made wooden glass-on fins, just like the originals. Resin tints and pigments add a touch of class to these little fliers.
