5'1" Gold

5’1” x 21.26” x 2.72” x 32.6L

This nugget we call Gold is an ultra short performance groveler that can be ridden in almost any fin configuration based on rider preference. Ride it as short as you can (or as you feel comfortable going) — the idea is to have as much volume as possible packed into the shortest board possible. This outline is fast, loose, and very skatey-feeling. Comes stock with either a swallow tail or a short square tail.

Glassed with two layers of 4oz fiberglass on the deck and one layer of 4oz on the bottom, with an additional 4oz deck patch over the back foot and a 4oz tail patch for added protection of the fin boxes. I use s-cloth fiberglass on my shorter boards — a more premium fiberglass cloth than what is used in standard surfboard construction — it has a better tensile strength and is military-grade fiberglass that weighs the same as e-cloth (surfboard standard) but is much stronger, resulting in a board that will last longer than an average board. It’s not often used due to its hefty price tag but I include it with every shortboard and twin fin because I want my boards to stand the test of time more than normal. Most company’s “team rider” surfboards are built with s-cloth, but I choose to eat the cost and do it for all my lightweight boards.
