The Blackbird, for the new order of surfing
Blackbird – for the new order of surfing
New and improved… straighter tail rocker increases drive and heavier concaves through the fins adds a whole new responsiveness to make the new Blackbird one of the favorites moving into the new year. STILL….AND NOW MORE THAN EVER…A spry, lively bugger of a backfoot board. Developed around San Clemente’s variety of waves; goes mental in points, reefs, and beachbreaks alike. Heavy single concave through the tail makes this board really alive in the pocket. It will release out the back and re-engage for fins-free type of maneuvers, airs and reverses. Designed for the new order of surfing.
Ideal Conditions: Knee-high to Slightly Overhead
Experience: Intermediate to Advanced
Designed for: Fins-free maneuvers, airs & reverses

Hey Todd + Charissa,
Just thought I’d drop a line just to let you know that this board has changed my surfing completely.
When I got on it, it just felt so light and smooth and it goes like a rocket. I love it and everyone who’s seen it is really impressed by it so don’t be surprised if the orders start flyin’ in from the west side!. We were down on Ballyliffen beach last week , this is where this photo was taken. You will have to come over some time, if you do, just give me a shout.
Thanks again Todd for a mindbender of a board, gonna order a groveler in the near future so I’ll be in touch.
Thanks+take care, Slainte, Niall.

Hi Todd and Charissa,
My new Blackbird is like butter on a wave, so loose yet smooth!
The rocker on this is magic… My PU performance fish (the one that I wanted replicated as a PROXY) feels slower and stiffer in comparison. Thanks for the recommendation!
You were right: it’s making me want to sell all my other boards and get a quiver of PROXY Blackbirds!
