Bamba Tuna Fish: The Ultimate Mid-Length Hybrid for Daily Sessions

If you are looking to buy a surfboard that maximizes your wave count while still holding a performance edge, the Bamba Tuna Fish is the most balanced shape from the Glassing Monkey factory. Engineered as a high-performance mid-length, this hybrid surfboard breaks away from traditional retro limitations. Delivering unmatched paddle power to beat the crowd and a flawless glide that links dead sections together, it stands as the go-to alternative for intermediate surfers moving up from a funboard, as well as seasoned riders wanting an effortless, flowing feel in small-to-medium surf. [1]

Hydrodynamic Blueprint: Low Entry Rocker and Natural Drive

The magic behind this shape comes down to a calculated volume distribution. It features a fairly low entry rocker that drastically boosts your paddling speed, letting you chip into waves earlier and easier than ever before. Meticulously refined under the expert eye of shaper Ray Angosto, the outline hides a subtle twist in the foil of both the tip and the tail. This technical adjustment provides extra control during vertical maneuvers, keeping the board rock-solid on high-speed trims yet surprisingly loose the second you decide to push hard on your back foot. [1, 2]

Progressive Maneuverability and Deep Pocket Control

What truly makes the Tuna Fish one of the best hybrid surfboards on the market is its precise response right in the pocket of the wave. The rail blueprints allow you to hold deep, connected carves and slice cleanly into the wall without ever losing your drive. Moving away from the stiff, bulky edges of traditional beginner surfboards, its modern performance rails deliver seamless, predictable, and electric rail-to-rail transitions. Whether you need a daily driver for your local beach breaks or you are stepping up from a soft top to level up your progression, this design guarantees a fast, reliable, and intensely fun flow all season long.

Bamba Performance-Pro: Elite Maneuverability and High-Performance Longboarding

If you are looking to buy a performance longboard that allows you to attack the lip with shortboard aggression while holding onto the fluid drive of a log, the Bamba Performance-Pro is the ultimate machine from the Glassing Monkey workshop. This shape breaks away from traditional vintage constraints to offer a thoroughly modern, progressive approach. It is the go-to alternative for seasoned riders wanting to snap hard in the pocket, link powerful turns in the critical section, and chase vertical walls with total confidence, all while maintaining excellent paddle power to chip into waves early.

High-Performance Engineering: Technical Rocker and Elite Drive

The magic behind this custom longboard comes down to a highly evolved hydrodynamic blueprint. It features a technical, more pronounced rocker through both the nose and the tail, specifically dialed in to prevent pearling on late drops and to free up the tail during radical directional changes. Meticulously refined under the expert eye of shaper Ray Angosto, the outline tapers cleanly toward the tips, drastically cutting down swing weight. This provides instant acceleration and terminal speed, turning any clean wall into a perfect canvas for your most technical lines.

Refined Performance Rails and Critical Pocket Control

What truly makes the Performance-Pro one of the best high-performance longboards on the market is its precise rail architecture. Moving completely away from the thick, blocky edges of traditional retro logs, we brought in modern, tucked-under performance rails that bite into the wave face with absolute confidence. This technical transition allows you to hold deep carves at high speeds and ensures an immediate, lively response the second you push down on your back foot. Whether you need a reliable weapon for punchy beach breaks or want to push your technical limits on quality point breaks, this shape guarantees a lightning-fast flow, predictive control, and elite responsiveness all season long.

Bamba MVP: The Ultimate All-Round Hybrid Longboard for Every Session

If you are looking to buy an all-round longboard that delivers the perfect balance between classic tip-riding stability and powerful turns from the tail, the Bamba MVP is the definitive answer from the Glassing Monkey workshop. This shape was specifically engineered to bridge the gap between two golden eras of surfing, blending a classic aesthetic with progressive maneuverability. It is the go-to alternative for riders of all levels chasing a single daily driver capable of handling everything from soft, rolling summer peaks to punchy, vertical beach break walls.

Hydrodynamic Blueprint: Stable Noseriding and Effortless Paddle Power

The magic behind this hybrid log comes down to the clever harmony in its outline and volume distribution. It features a slightly wider nose that provides a rock-solid platform of confidence for stable noserides, holding its line beautifully inside the pocket. Meticulously refined under the expert eye of shaper Ray Angosto, the foil blueprint places the foam right where you need it while laying down. This delivers an unmatched paddling efficiency that lets you chip into waves earlier and easier than ever before, ensuring the board generates its own natural drive from the second you drop in.

Versatile Rails and Seamless Rail-to-Rail Transitions

What truly makes the Bamba MVP one of the best all-round longboards on the market is the technical blueprint running through its bottom and rails. Moving away from completely bulky retro edges, it blends into modern, tucked-under performance rails toward the tail, letting the board bite into the wave face with total confidence. This creates a natural pivot point under your back foot, allowing for smooth rail-to-rail transitions and surprisingly sharp carves for a board of this volume. Whether you are stepping up from a beginner surfboard to level up your progression or want a reliable, timeless weapon in your summer quiver, this shape guarantees a fast, predictable, and intensely fun flow all season long.

Bamba Beacon: The Essential Noserider for Timeless Glide and Classic Lines

If you are looking to buy a traditional longboard that puts pure style, rock-solid stability, and the joy of cross-stepping at the center of your session, the Bamba Beacon is the ultimate answer from the Glassing Monkey workshop. This shape pays a beautiful tribute to the traditional designs of surfing’s golden era, where the main goal is a clean trim and sustaining momentum on the softest, flattest summer peaks. It is the go-to alternative for riders chasing a relaxed, premium, and free-flowing ride, allowing you to link entire sections together with incredible elegance.

Traditional Engineering: Nose Concave and Effortless Paddle Power

The magic behind this retro log comes down to its refined hydrodynamic blueprint. It features a subtle yet deep nose concave that traps the water flow, creating the essential lift needed to keep the board stable while you walk to the nose or lock in a hang-five. Meticulously refined under the expert eye of shaper Ray Angosto, the outline packs a generous volume distribution that provides unmatched paddling efficiency. This lets you chip into waves earlier than anyone else in the lineup, guaranteeing a natural, rolling drive from the second you drop in.

Traditional 50/50 Rails and Absolute Pocket Trim

What truly makes the Bamba Beacon one of the best retro surfboards for small waves is its classic rail blueprint. It features soft, rolled 50/50 rails that wrap beautifully into the wave face, allowing the water to suck over the deck and lock the tail securely inside the critical section. This rail transition provides a predictable pivot point, inviting you to draw smooth, flowing drop-knee turns rather than aggressive snaps. Whether you want a timeless addition to your alternative quiver or you are stepping up from a soft top to discover the art of classic trimming, this design guarantees a fast, reliable, and intensely fun flow all season long.

Bamba Hawaiian Style: The Ultimate High-Performance Noserider for All Conditions

If you are looking to buy a versatile longboard that lets you lock in tight noserides while still holding onto serious turning power when the swell pumps, the Bamba Hawaiian Style is the definitive weapon from the Glassing Monkey workshop. This shape was specifically engineered to push the boundaries of traditional logs, injecting a progressive performance mindset into an all-round layout. It is the go-to alternative for riders wanting a single-board quiver that excels anywhere from tiny, knee-high ripples to overhead beach break barrels, delivering relentless paddle power and a rock-solid trim every time. [1]

Hydrodynamic Blueprint: Continuous Drive and Instant Acceleration

The magic behind this hybrid log comes down to the clever harmony in its outline and volume distribution. Its balanced silhouette provides an expansive planning surface that allows the board to fly over fat, crumbly sections where other shapes would easily bog down. Meticulously refined under the expert eye of shaper Ray Angosto, the bottom contours allow water to flow freely, generating instant acceleration without forcing you to work the board. This calculated engineering gives you an easy-paddling feel to chip into waves earlier, providing a stable platform for technical footwork and clean lines.

Refined Performance Rails and High-Speed Transitions

What truly makes the Hawaiian Style one of the best high-performance longboards on the market is the technical blueprint running through its rails. Moving away from the stiff, boxy edges of traditional retro logs, we brought in modern, tucked-under performance rails that bite into the wave face with total confidence. This transition allows for incredibly smooth, fast rail-to-rail movement, letting you hold deep carves right in the pocket with an impressive turning radius. Whether you are stepping up from a soft top or beginner surfboard to level up your progression or want a reliable daily driver for your local peaks, this shape guarantees a fast, predictable, and intensely fun flow all season long.

Heavy Water Go-Wild (Performance Quad Fish)

The Heavy Water Go-Wild represents a high-speed evolution of the well-known Go-on model. Specifically designed to perform at the highest level in small, weak, or mushy waves (ranging from 1 to 5 feet), this performance quad surfboard is an absolute speed machine. It is the definitive tool to transform boring, flat, or messy sessions into fast and dynamic adventures by generating its own velocity almost effortlessly.

Curved Outline and Narrow Tail: Traction in the Chop

The technical brilliance of the Go-Wild lies in the redesign of its tail area. The swallow tail is noticeably narrower than on previous traditional fish versions, a strategic modification refined under Ray Angosto’sexpert eye. This design choice introduces more curve into the board’s overall outline, allowing you to establish immediate rail engagement and achieve significantly tighter turns right in the pocket of the wave.
By tapering the tail block, the shape ensures incredible bite and grip as your speed increases. It provides total control and eliminates unexpected sliding, making it exceptionally reliable even when facing irregular or choppy conditions.

On-Water Dynamics: The Quad Fin Speed Engine

Unlike a traditional twin fin that can feel loose or skatey when pushed, the Go-Wild utilizes a quad configuration to maximize horizontal drive. By removing the center fin drag and replacing it with dual side fin setups, water channels through the tail with zero resistance, propelling you forward instantly.
  • Self-generated speed: Flies across flat sections without needing continuous pumping, making the most of the wave’s limited energy.
  • Agile rail transitions: The narrower tail profile lightens the back foot pressure, enabling snappy, spontaneous direction changes.
  • All-condition versatility: Bridges the gap between an easy-paddling daily driver and a specialized small-wave weapon for everyday beach breaks.
If you are looking to buy a performance quad surfboard engineered to fly through soft sections while keeping absolute surgical control in imperfect sea conditions, the Go-Wild delivers the exact oomph, projection, and flow you need under your feet.

The 40 oz. model carries all its volume in the chest area enabling it to have great paddle power, while the tail is thinned out for maximum maneuverability.

The bottom contour is a slight single concave with vee that starts in front of the fins and exits through the tail. This allows you to control a board with a lot of volume.

We recommend shaving 4-6" off your normal sized board when ordering this model.

The 40 oz model was a favorite of our customers when we introduced it in the early 2000s. 20 years later we are re-introducing this model for the beginner/heavier/older surfer who is looking for a performance shortboard.
