Alpha 88 5'10" - 32L | Small Wave surfboard

Designed for poor to average surf conditions, the Alpha 88 surfboard still performs impressively when the waves turn on. Featuring a Gunther Rohn shape and built by Lucid Glassing, this small wave board offers exceptional speed, manoeuvrability, and drive — making it a favourite for everyday sessions.

Key Features:

Versatile Design:
The Alpha 88 features a full nose that doesn’t hinder performance, allowing for seamless rail-to-rail transitions. Thin chamfered rails enhance manoeuvrability, giving the board a lively, responsive feel underfoot.

Speed and Agility:
Experience speed and quick response thanks to a moderate double concave into concave V bottom, combined with flat entry and tail rockers. This bottom contour makes for rapid transitions and snappy turns.

Enhanced Planing:
A wider nose and flatter entry provide excellent planing speed, helping you connect flat sections with ease. The winged wide tail and pod act as a natural pivot point, ideal for tight turns on short waves and beach breaks.

Drive and Stability:
The wide tail adds drive out of turns and increases overall stability. A flat deck lowers the centre of gravity for extra control and power. Note: the flat deck adds volume — we recommend ordering the Alpha 88 about 1/8" thinner than your usual dims.

The Alpha 88 combines speed, manoeuvrability, and flow into a highly adaptable small-wave surfboard. Ideal for waves up to around 4–5 feet, it's the go-to board for everyday performance when conditions are less than perfect.
