Well with 3 daughters between 8 and 14 we have had more exposure to kids boards than most. To get things going we had 2 customs made one for Nesha and one for Kristi as in 2008 there were few if any sub 9 foot boards.

The boards were hand crafted by Dave Boyd Imperial Surf, with full resin tints and were designed to be stable in the flat and with fin changes shreaders in the surf.


This is Nesha's 8'4 x 26 x 4 1/2 Dave Boyd Imperial Custom.

It will easily support up to 80kg and it shreads in the surf.
