Groveler

Hybrid surfboards, also known as grovelers or fishboards, are a special type of surfboard designed for small to medium waves. They combine elements from different surfboard designs to enable optimal performance in weak waves.

These boards are characterised by their wider outline and extra volume, which makes it easier to paddle the waves and faster to paddle on. The different tail shapes, such as Round, Diamond, Bat, Squash, Square or Round Pin Tail, as well as the different fin placements expand the board's range of use and enable radical turns and manoeuvres.

Hybrid surfboards offer surfers an increased wave yield, as they perform better in small and weak waves than conventional shortboards. They are ideal for surfers who want to surf in areas with less powerful waves or improve their skills in smaller conditions. With a hybrid surfboard, you can have more fun and upgrade your surf sessions in weak waves.

Why should everyone own a hybrid surfboard? The answer lies in the versatility and extended range of use of these boards. They offer a good balance between paddle performance, stability and manoeuvrability. Although they are mainly designed for small waves, they can also work well in bigger waves if the conditions are right. A hybrid surfboard is a great addition to your surf quiver as it allows you to get the most out of your surf sessions in different conditions and wave sizes.

When choosing a hybrid surfboard, it is important to consider the right size, volume and features you want. Every surfer has individual preferences and abilities, so it is advisable to try out different models or get advice from a surfboard expert to find the perfect board for you.
