A High Performance design in our range. The Bastard is recognised as the shortboard that John John Florence rides in most conditions and competitions around the world (in 2016 he finished 1st in Rio, Portugal, and Haleiwa and won the World Title mostly riding the Bastards models).

Good in beach breaks, reefs and points, this is a very versatile board that has quite a bit of continuous rocker for a snappy, loose feel, but still has a lot of drive in good waves. Its single concave throughout adds lift and speed. The outline features a tail that is slightly pulled in, giving bite and drive through turns, and a subtle hip also makes it easy to redirect. We flattened out the deck to re-position the volume for a lively feel. Not recommended for beginners, the Bastard is a great board for everyday sessions in waves with at least a little curve in the face and some push to them, and it really comes alive in powerful, juicy conditions.
