The Sea&Sons BUDDY is the perfect board for small waves. Whether you’re coming from longboards or shortboards, this model will make you feel like you’re riding a flying carpet beneath your feet. It features a flat rocker at the nose and a good rocker at the tail for tight turns and a steady grip during maneuvers. Much of its secret lies in the combination of the bottom and rails. You can be use as a trifin for the most radical maniovers or as a quad, which will provide extra grip and safety. “A good option for this model is to have a swallow tail, as it will take some of the edge off when we’re surfing more powerfully, as well as adding a fifth stabilizing fin to the quad.”
