7S Surfboards Double Down Surfboard

This board is built specifically for small, weak, or 'mushy' waves, typically in the 0-3 foot range. Its design focuses on generating speed in flat sections where a standard performance shortboard might bog down.

The high volume-to-length ratio provides significant buoyancy, which makes paddling much easier and helps you catch waves earlier. It also adds stability, making it easier to maintain momentum and flow through slower parts of the wave.

While it is very stable, the Double Down is best suited for intermediate to advanced surfers. It is designed to be a performance-oriented small-wave board rather than a dedicated learning tool for beginners.

The transition from a single concave to a double concave and rolled vee is key to its versatility. The single concave generates speed, while the double concave and vee allow you to transition from rail to rail more easily, keeping the board responsive despite its wider outline.

A flat rocker keeps more of the board in contact with the water, which is essential for generating speed in small, gutless surf. It allows the board to plane quickly and glide over flat sections without needing a steep wave face to keep moving.
