It&#8217;s a great shape to get the most out of the surf, With a wide hip that gives a little extra float so you can perform maneuvers on weaker waves. Basically it&#8217;s a very good performance board for the average conditions we get a lot of in the UK.<\/p>\n<p>Very quick and maneuverable, while forgiving when you need it to be. The Predator works well in a wide variety of conditions fro your 2ft beach break to your hollow reef break.<\/p>\n<h3>Shortboard Features<\/h3>\n<p>The Predator features a single to double concave bottom, with optional Square or Squash tail. Either fitted as a Thruster, Quad fin\u00a0 or both in either fcs11 or Future fin boxes. As a fully hand shaped shortboard the sizes are 100% customizable.\u00a0 You can alter the sizes,Shape, bottom contours,rail thickness even the volume in the foil to suit your surfing.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ndsurfboards.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Versitile-shortboard.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-51418 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.ndsurfboards.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Versitile-shortboard.png\" alt=\"Shortboard\" width=\"500\" height=\"597\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ndsurfboards.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Versitile-shortboard.png 500w, https:\/\/www.ndsurfboards.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Versitile-shortboard-480x573.png 480w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 500px, 100vw\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 500px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 500\/597;\" \/><\/a>As most Shortboards are Machine shaped these days we feel it&#8217;s important that the skill of Hand shaping is kept alive, therefore i made the decision to keep hand shaping the Predator so you can order a true custom board.\u00a0 Your custom shortboard can come in a variety of constructions options, Epoxy, Eco Hemp, PU, Innegra and more, just ask <strong><a href=\"tel:07789764475\">07789764475<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sizes available from 5ft4 fro groms to 6ft8 message me for details.
