Beater Boards: Can Catch Surf Convert You?

April 11, 2014 By J. Taylor

Have you heard the word about the new and improved range of Catch Surf Beater Boards? No doubt you have, last year we told you all about these versatile surf craft, but for those of you that missed it, lets bring you up to speed. Catch Surf has been creating quite a stir since it released its Beater Boards, and while most surfers have been a little slow on the uptake, now is the time to get your hands on one. The latest offering of Beater Boards include some awesome pro models, endorsed by rippers like Kalani Robb and Jamie O’Brien. On top of that, these foam fun-boards have been further developed and tweaked so all the kinks have been ironed out. There is no denying that Beater Boards can be seriously surfed, but it comes into its own on those small, sloppy summer days.

Beater Boards Make the Most of Mush

Once you get your hands on a Beater Board it is going to be your best friend on small summer days, when you just want to have fun down at the beach in the sun and surf. You can bodyboard, kneeboard and standup surf a Beater Board, making the most out of the particular conditions on any given day. Versatile is an understatement, because these boards also suit a wide range of abilities too. Catch Surf Beater Boards might have been imagined as small surf boards, but the pros that are riding them are not just limiting them to the slop. To see what you can do on one of these sticks check out the video below.

Beat the Blackball

One of the many advantages a Beater Board has over your staple hard shortboard is that at some beaches you can get away with surfing it during the summer blackball periods. When the lifeguards pull out that yellow flag with blackball on it, go grab your Beater Board and get back in the surf with the bodyboarders and body surfers playing in the waves. Just don’t surf too recklessly and you might manage to avoid the attention of the lifeguards on duty!

Two Fin or Not Two Fin…

The latest range of Beater Boards come in a variety of colors and different fin setups. There are a bunch of 80’s style neon colors, some crazy artwork on the pro models, and you can go finless, single fin or twin fin. Pick up a single or twin fin, and you can get an official Catch Surf finless conversion kit and use it as a bodyboard, skimboard or even keep surfing it like Morgan Just does in this next video!

Add One to Your Quiver Today

Starting at $169 for Finless Beater Board and $199 for the  Twin Fin Beater Board Original 54”, this is an affordable surfboard that you cannot afford not to have in your quiver. This board is really all about fun, and after all that is exactly what surfing is supposed to be, fun. Grab one and you won’t regret it.
