Once the team riders started taking the NDR into bigger surf, they realized the board paddles and holds up in waves much larger than its original design intent. What started as a small-wave shape turned into a one-board quiver. A daily driver that scales from chest-high beach break to overhead points without missing a beat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe NDR is available with a swallow tail (original) or a round tail (later addition that opens up even bigger waves), and shapes with a 5-fin box setup so you can run it as a thruster when conditions call for vertical surfing or switch to a quad for speed and looseness in lined-up waves. Two tail options. Two fin configurations. One board that legitimately does everything.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're tired of swapping boards every time the swell shifts, this is the one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest for:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWaves from 2 to 8 ft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSurfers wanting one board to cover small to medium-large surf\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSurfers chasing trips where they don't want to bring a full quiver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnyone who values versatility over specialization\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFin setup: 5-fin (FCS or Futures boxes) — thruster or quad compatible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTail: Swallow (original) or round tail (for bigger waves)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRocker: Neutral, relaxed nose and tail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBottom: Subtle single-to-double concave\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRails: Neutral, tapered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFoil: Volume foiled subtly from nose to tail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrive Speed: 4\/5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWave Height: 2–8 ft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManeuverability: 4\/5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaddle Power: 4\/5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstruction: Available in PU\/Polyester or EPS\/Epoxy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCustom shaped to order in Huntington Beach, California.

A custom shortboard by Jeff \"Doc\" Lausch designed to make weak surf feel fun again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe New Buddy excels in softer waves thanks to a wide, full-volume template that paddles like a dream and gets you into waves early. The outline narrows quickly through the back of the board with a bump into a squash tail, locking in control where most small-wave boards start to feel washy. Underneath, a single-to-double concave generates speed through flat sections, while full, forgiving rails through the middle of the board keep the ride loose and playful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTogether, these design elements make the New Buddy shred in small waves the way most shortboards only shred in good ones.
