Hiatus

Pick volume first, then trim length to your height. As a rule of thumb, if your shortboard is around 28L, your Hiatus will likely sit in the 40–45L range — that's roughly the 7'2"–7'4" featured set. Add length if your reference waves are weaker (mushy beach breaks, summer points) or you're recovering from a layoff. Subtract length if you're surfing punchier reefs and want the board to feel more shortboard-adjacent.

Stock setup is 2+1: a single center fin (10" Futures box) plus two side bites. The factory configurations are 2+1 (all three) or single-fin (center alone, side plugs covered) — same board, two distinct feels. Thruster isn't a stock option because the center box is sized for a 10" mid-length single, not a thruster center. Tell us which feel you want when you place the order.

Soft mornings at San Onofre when the period stretches long. Small windows at Salt Creek when the swell drops below knee-high. T-Street on a forgiving day. Mainland Mexico points like Saladita where the wave wants line, not a hop-and-bounce. The Hiatus comes alive when the wave's there but the energy's softer than your shortboard wants. It's not built for hollow reef or knee-high mush.

No. It's built for intermediate-to-advanced surfers — you should already know how to read a wave and find your line. The board respects the customer who knows what a turn feels like; it's not a learning platform. Beginners are better served by a wider, flatter, higher-volume soft-top or a foam-forward longboard while you're building paddle strength and wave-reading instincts.

Turnaround depends on the finish:

• Clear resin sanded — 4–6 weeks
• Tint gloss + polish — 6–8 weeks
• Resin tint sanded — 8–10 weeks

Timeline reflects the current queue and is confirmed at order. A 25% deposit locks the build slot. Built to your specs in San Clemente — designed in Shape3D, CNC-cut, and finished by the team.

Both are performance mid-lengths aimed at the shortboarder bridging up. The Crisis is a known reference in that customer brief — modern outline, 2+1 capable, paddle-and-turn balance. The Hiatus is the Lundquist take on the same brief: forgiving entry rocker, fuller mid-section under the chest, 2+1 + single-fin alt. Built to your specs in San Clemente rather than off-the-rack — so your Hiatus is tuned to your weight, height, and home break, not the average customer.

Stock glassing is 6oz S-cloth + 4oz warp on the deck and 4oz S-cloth + 4oz warp on the bottom — a notch heavier than shortboard spec to support mid-length flex on longer rails. A Volan deck patch is +$30 (common request — concentrates flex under the front foot). Volan tail patch is +$40 (recommended for heavier riders or cross-step-curious customers). EPS / heavier customs by quote.

Sometimes. We keep a small number of display boards in the shop in San Clemente so you can hold one, check the rails, see the finish. Message us to confirm what's currently available — stock rotates as boards sell. The Hiatus is a custom-built model, so most orders are made-to-spec rather than off-the-rack — but seeing one in person before you order helps lock the right size.
