About this board
The Summer vibes Performance Longboard is a fast, lightweight HPLB surfboard for surfers who want longboard glide with sharper rail-to-rail control. At 9'1 it paddles early and trims with ease, while the performance outline and 1+2 fin setup keep it responsive from the tail when the wave starts to stand up.

A few things worth knowing

What warranty does my surfboard include?
Your Summer vibes surfboard includes a 12-month manufacturer warranty against manufacturing defects. If something looks wrong, contact us with your order details and clear photos so we can help quickly.
What is not covered by warranty?
Surfboards are performance equipment, so any snaps, dings, heat damage, finbox issues can not be covered by warranty. Please inspect your new board for any manufacturing defects.
How do I look after an EPS epoxy board?
Rinse after use, repair dings promptly with EPS-safe repair, and store away from prolonged heat and direct sun. Do not leave it in a hot car. We strongly recommend using a boardbag for protection.
What fins come with the board?
Standard compatible fins are included. Premium performance fins are optional, but strongly recommended if you want the best feel from your new board.
