Soap Bar mini: custom pre-order

Soap Bar mini

This mini-Simmons inspired surfboard shape is wide and short, giving it a paddle power that makes it great for upping wave counts in small and marginal surf. It’s a loose and fun ride that maximises speed and planing on the wave face.

Customisations

As this is a custom order, there is the opportunity for a number of customisations which will be discussed with you once you have placed your order. These include the choice of wood and other finishing features, volume and shape.

Who will make my surfboard?

Your board will be made by Patrick Burnett, who has 15 years of experience in making wooden surfboards. Pat makes his boards under the “one pair of hands” principle. He selects the wood, cuts and prepares it, designs the final shape, builds the wooden structure, shapes it, and finally attends to the glassing and finishing. Being intimately involved with every stage of the process gives him a great deal of control over required customisations and the quality of the final surfboard.

Dimensions

Typically 5′.8″ x 20″ x 2 3/4″, but as this surfboard is ordered as a custom-made item dimensions shown are a guide and can be adjusted according to the requirements of whoever it is being made for and may vary according to weight, skill level and the type of waves being ridden.

Volume Range

As above, this is a custom-made item and the volume will be adjusted according to the unique specifications of whoever it is being made for. The volume usually varies between 30 and 40 litres.

Fin Setup

This shape can be made with a twin-keel fin setup, or half moon keel fins. These can be done as glass-on fins or as boxes.
