Surfco Hawaii Shortboard Nose Guard Kit

The guard is designed with a slick surface specifically to minimize drag. While it adds a small amount of weight, most surfers find the impact protection outweighs any negligible difference in hydrodynamics.

This kit is designed to fit most standard shortboard nose shapes. However, if you have a board with an extremely pointed or uniquely shaped nose, you may need to trim the material slightly for a flush fit.

The application is straightforward and designed for DIY installation. You simply clean the nose of your board thoroughly, peel the adhesive backing, and press the guard firmly into place.

Yes, the adhesive is formulated to withstand the temperature fluctuations typical of surfing environments. Ensure the board surface is completely dry and free of wax residue before application to guarantee a long-lasting bond.

You can remove it, though it may require some effort and a gentle adhesive remover to clean up any leftover residue. It is intended as a semi-permanent solution, so it is best to commit to the placement before applying.
