The Mini Ghost came to be as a result of working with Koa Smith to build a rippable short, chunky, fun version of one of his favorites, the Ghost. Koa loves riding tiny boards for the smaller days on the North Shore, but we needed to pack more volume into them to make them functional and give them paddle power and stability.

WAVE: BEACH BREAK, POINT BREAK REEF BREAK
Meant to be ridden 3-4 inches shorter, and around the same volume as your normal shortboard
LEVEL: INTERMEDIATE, ADVANCED PROFESSIONAL
We shrunk Koa’s 5’9 Ghost down to a 5’5’’ and to give it more float we widened it up a touch, flattened out the deck and made the rails thicker and more boxy. We also added a modern beak nose to keep even more foam under the chest-area and up into the nose. The volume added is significant..a 5’10’’ Ghost XL is 28.80 liters, while a 5’7’’ Mini Ghost comes in at 28.70 liters! We made a few small changes to the rocker and it comes in either a round tail, or a wider bump squash to make the board very fun in smaller, weaker waves. Overall the best way to describe it is a sort of throwback 80’s looking board with all the added performance features of a modern design. It’s made for high performance ripping, but is also great for less skilled surfers due to the added volume and forgiving ride.

I am excited to introduce the first board of The Velocity Project, our new sub-division of boards that we have been building over the years, primarily in Japan and only in limited numbers. The Velocity Project encompasses a wide variety of unique, retro-modern designs - quads, twins and 2+1s, all built simply for speed and fun, a bit outside of what most people think of when they think of our line of boards. New exclusive models will be released one at a time over the coming months, and we will continue adding more into the future. Get ready to go fast.
