The Surfrider is our everyday Bellyboard, suitable for all riders!
Each Dick Pearce bellyboard is unique with an individual nose bend - the templates and designs have been passed down through the generations.
The board graphics are hand screen printed with the original DPF wooden screens and hardwearing inks.
Each bellyboard is handmade in the Dick Pearce & Friends workshop in Newquay, Cornwall. See how are bellyboards are made here.
Materials
Made with the highest quality sustainably sourced 9mm birch plywood. We use the best quality ply wood available to ensure maximum life and fun out of each board.
Plywood is a very low carbon and sustainable product. If looked after, our bellyboards will last a lifetime.
Please note that due to the natural variation in wood, all our boards are different and have individual characteristics. Open knots in the wood have been repaired with wooden plugs, and nose curves will vary. If you have any curve/rocker preference please let us know.
Dimensions
Standard measurements of the 'Surfrider Model' are 120cm in length, 30cm nose width, 29cm tail width, 0.9cm thick
Finish
Fully Painted: We use the highest quality exterior grade paint to ensure excellent protection for years. The paint is water based and environmentally friendly. These boards are very hardy and can handle lots of water and beach time! The fully painted boards are our hardest wearing bellyboards.
Post surf care
The boards should be stored in a dry environment when not in the water. If looked after well…. they should last for generations. Wood is good!
