High-Performance Shortboards for Every Surfer

At Jack’s Surfboards, we offer a premium selection of shortboards designed for speed, maneuverability, and high-performance surfing. Whether you’re carving up steep waves, boosting airs, or looking for a fast, responsive ride, we carry top brands and the latest designs to help you maximize your wave count.

Types of Shortboards We Carry

Performance Shortboards (5’6” - 6’4”)

Designed for advanced surfing, performance shortboards feature a narrow shape, high rocker, and sharp rails to handle powerful waves. These boards are built for fast turns, deep barrels, and aggressive maneuvers. Ideal for intermediate to advanced surfers looking to push their limits.

Hybrid Shortboards (5’8” - 6’6”)

Hybrid shortboards combine elements of traditional shortboards with added volume and wider outlines, making them more forgiving in a variety of conditions. They generate more speed in weaker waves while maintaining a responsive, high-performance feel. Great for surfers transitioning from funboards or fish boards.

Grovelers (5’2” - 6’0”)

Grovelers are short, wide, and thick, designed to excel in smaller, weaker waves. They offer extra flotation for easy paddling while maintaining the agility needed for quick, sharp turns. Perfect for maximizing fun in less-than-ideal surf conditions.

Step-Up Shortboards (6’4” - 7’2”)

For surfers who charge bigger, heavier waves, a step-up board provides more length, narrower width, and extra rocker for added control and hold. These boards thrive in hollow, overhead surf and are a must-have for advanced surfers who travel to destinations with powerful reef or point breaks.
