Spanish Omelette - Customize
The Spanish Omelette is a small-wave performance groveler. A custom shortboard built for surfers who want speed in weak waves without committing to a fish or full-nose egg shape.
This is the board you reach for when the waves are too weak to get your high-performance shortboard going, but you still want to surf progressively rather than just survive the session. The Spanish Omelette features a full-body template with volume foiled exactly where you need it for performance: paddle power up front, response under your back foot, and zero compromise in the foam distribution. The deep single concave underneath generates speed, while a touch of vee out through the tail keeps the board from feeling too "tracky" and lets it come alive under your back foot.
The rails are medium-to-full through the center for paddle and forgiveness, then foiled down through the nose and tail for response. The result is a small-wave board that actually wants to be pushed and performs equally well when the waves clean up and get good.
Sizing: Order it 1" to 1.5" wider and 2" shorter than your standard shortboard. That sizing ratio is what unlocks the speed and paddle that make this board work in weak surf.
If you're between a fish and your performance shortboard but neither feels right, the Spanish Omelette is built for that gap.

PU Polyester
- The standard blank, offering a classic feel and smooth ride. Known for its flex and responsiveness in a variety of wave conditions.
- Polyester Blank
- Polyester Resin
Poly with Epoxy Resin
- Stronger than polyester resin and makes the board more durable.
- Polyester Blank
- Epoxy Resin
EPS Epoxy
- Great strength to weight ratio.
- Lighter and stronger than a polyester board in the same dimensions.
- Slightly more flotation.
Single Slot Channel
- A single slot channel is a singular, short groove starting about 10 inches from the tail and getting deeper as it exits out the end of the board.
Benefits:
- Improved Drive: The single slot channel helps direct water flow, providing the board with extra drive and speed, especially in smaller, weaker waves. A great alternative to having a center fin on twin or quad fins.
- Control: It offers enhanced control by channeling water more directly under the board, making it easier to maintain a stable line during turns.
- Versatility: This channel design is versatile, performing well in various wave conditions, from small beach breaks to bigger surf. Adds a little grip to your rip.
4 Channel
- A 4-channel design features four grooves on the bottom of the board. A slightly longer center channel. The outside channels are a little shorter starting from the back quarter of the board, starting shallow and progressively get deeper as it exits the tail.
Benefits:
- Speed and Lift: The 4 channels create lift by directing water flow more efficiently, allowing the board to plane better on the water's surface, which results in increased speed.
- Enhanced Grip: This design provides additional grip and hold during turns, making it excellent for carving and generating speed through sections of the wave.
- Responsiveness: The configuration of the channels offers more responsiveness in turns, allowing for sharper, more precise maneuvers.
- Aesthetic Appeal: High-gloss shine enhances visual appeal and makes the board stand out.
- Durability: Offers a little bit of strength and durability.
Protects the crucial area of the board under your back foot. It’s worth the price if you are hard on your boards and have a tendency to crush the tail with your back foot.
