WHOPPER 

MORE STABILITY, MORE WAVES
The Whopper is the go-to board for first-time paddlers learning to surf and heavier riders looking to shred. With a reimagined shape incorporating thinner rails, a Spice-inspired wing tail, and a refined rocker line, this board delivers enhanced maneuverability, down-the-line speed, and effortless wave-catching performance. The increased nose kick ensures easy recovery, making it a forgiving yet high-performance option.

KEY FEATURES - 

> Shape evolution - A redesign blending the best features from the Spice and Whopper models for improved performance..

> Stable and responsive - Wide nose and tail ensure balance, while refined rails enhance maneuverability.

> Super stable and high volume - Float and fun for everybody! Widths ranging from 33 to 36 inches give you excellent stability, the wider flat deck provides enhanced balance, allowing you to conserve energy and concentrate on catching more waves.

> Bevelled rails - Inspired by the Spice, the soft bevelled rails help to roll smoothly into turns despite the width of the board. The bevel also creates a thinner pinched apex that requires less foot pressure to turn.

> Wing tail - Blends comfort and performance. Learners have comfort from the wider outline in front of the wing; while advanced, heavier riders can unlock greater manoeuvrability behind the wing.

> Thin tail - The thinner tail requires less foot pressure to turn the board, giving you more control and response to make turns.

> Narrower nose outline - Allows you to paddle faster and straighter, minimising paddle contact on the nose. Both the narrower and thinner nose rails reduce catching during turns.

> 5-fin set up - All three sizes features a 5-fin setup, providing the flexibility to customise your riding style with options for both 4+1 and 2+1 fin options. Except ASAP and Rhino constructions are 2+1 set up.

> Board sock included - Reduces paper waste and protects your board from dust, scratches, and UV damage. Made of stretchable polyester, it fits various board shapes and has a secure drawstring closure.

What size WHOPPER is for me?

> 11’0” x 36” / 242L - Our high volume, super stable 11’0” x 36” Whopper is the big boy’s board of choice for SUP Surfing. This model features narrower nose outline, slightly bevelled rails, and a new wing tail – inspired by our Spice range. Delivering fantastic surf performance, excellent speed down the face of a wave and plenty of float to carry riders up to 140 kg+. This Whopper allows almost anybody to get out there and enjoy the surf.

> 10’0” x 34” / 172L - One of our best-selling sizes of all time has been the 10’0” x 34” Whopper. This year we have upgraded the surfing performance of our best-seller, giving riders amazing stability and performance. Our team tested this board with a range of riders in waves from knee-high to double overhead. If you are a first-time SUP surfer or a heavier experienced rider, this board is a top performer.

> 9’0” x 33” / 158L - Inspired by our much loved Hero, the 9’0” x 33” is a super fun, stable and short SUP surf board that supports heavier riders. This Short and wide model gives you fantastic manoeuvrability in a broad range of waves.

If you want more performance in larger waves, the 9’3” Spice is our go-to board with a narrower nose outline, whereas the 9’0” Whopper gives additional comfort and stability in small to medium waves.

What is the difference in the construction?

BLUE CARBON

LIGHTWEIGHT, STRONG AND DURABLE, 4X WOOD OMEGA STRINGERS

› Top grade 150g Biaxial Carbon wraps the entire board, joining with an overlap on the deck and bottom to create flat stringer, increasing the total breakage strength.

› 2 skins of durable fibre glass form a sandwich around the biaxial Carbon, protecting the carbon by dampening and absorbing the impact.

› Twin omega stringers are recessed deck and bottom to prevent total breakage strength.

› Multiple reinforcements in the standing area, nose and tail increase impact resistance.

LIMITED SERIES 

TIMELESS LOOK, SOLID PERFORMANCE

› Twin T-stringers made from glass fibre are positioned on the deck and bottom of the board close to the rail, providing a massive increase in the overall strength against total breakage in surf.

› An additional wide layer of 200g glass wraps the rails for higher strength against paddle impact and further reinforces the overall strength against buckling.

› The deck features reinforced biaxial glass and Australian pine, to resist heel dents and impact from the standing area.

› The nose and tail are wrapped in multiple layers of glass fiber for further strength on these impact zones.

ASAP

AS STRONG AS POSSIBLE

› Impact-resistant high-density EVA wrapping the whole rail from nose to tail.

› Multiple layers of high-grade fiberglass are wetted out in epoxy resin wrapping the hull.

› Australian pine on the standing area for extra impact resistance and rigidity.

› Extra rigidity with the introduction of unidirectional stringer bands and solid with added rail and nose reinforcements.

› The Whopper board in ASAP construction has a previous generation board shape.
