The Mango Pit is one of my most unique yet unassuming shapes. Super fast, energetic yet laid back, just loose enough and extremely fun. The base outline & rocker of Mango Pit are mini-Simmons inspired aspects, but is very different overall to produce a more versatile & functional surfboard. The Mango Pit is a unique combination of mini simmons, fish, shortboard and longboard design aspects - in addition to some of its own that can't be classified to any other style or shape. Low rocker & mid-wide/wide platform gives the Mango Pit inherently excellent wave catching & speed which are ever-appealing characteristics, but the beauty of the Mango Pit lies a bit deeper.
It’s multifaceted & complex design is geared towards the layered surfer who appreciates & seeks different styles & genres of surfing. The flow of the Mango Pit from nose-to-tail tells its story. Starting out with a fairly low nose & entry rocker with roll & semi-pinched 50/50 rails, that flows into a soft but definitive 70/30 soft performance rail as a light double concave meets the fading roll making for a neutral middle of the board, but then the double deepens as it sets into single concave in the tail of the board and the rail progresses to a proper hard edge. With its carefully executed design, the Mango Pit captures an adaptable ride characteristic flowing from soul to performance from nose to tail which can be regulated to the rider’s desire depending on their foot placement & weighting shifts between their feet.

Dome Deck


The standard the industry over, the vast majority of boards in the world have a dome deck which creates a natural volume taper from the stringer down to the rail. It's main purpose is to maximize performance, so if that's at the top of your list no matter what board you're on, the dome deck is the way to go for your Mango Pit.

Flat Deck / Bevelled Rail


The flat deck design serves two purpose: maximize the amount of volume in the board and create a faster response time by not making your foot have to wrap around the dome deck. The bevelled rail prevents the rails from being too thick which would hinder performance and enables a wonderfully performing board. Thick in all the right places and thin in all the right places. This design suits the surfer who prefers ample volume/float.

Order the Mango Pit if:
⬩ You want a medium wave board with great small wave ability across a variety of wave shapes & tidal conditions.
⬩ You prefer a naturally looser feeling board that still offers supreme control.
⬩ You want the ability to surf more aggressively or more laid back in the same board; some performance & some soulfulness.

Consider the Skiff if:
⬩ Tiny & small waves are more important than medium+ sized waves.
⬩ Softer, mushier waves are more important than pitchier waves.
⬩ You want the full twin keel fish experience but prefer a naturally looser board.

Consider the Keeper if:
⬩ Medium sized waves are most important.
⬩ You prefer a naturally looser feeling board & covet speed, flow & acceleration over anything else.
⬩ You want the full twin keel fish experience.

Consider the Reviver if:
⬩ Tiny & small waves are more important than medium+ sized waves.
⬩ Softer, mushier waves are more important than pitchier waves.
⬩ Maximum performance and precision in small surf is most important.

Consider the Beta Fish if:
⬩ You're looking for a medium wave fish with great small wave ability in mostly soft-to-almondy waves.
⬩ You want a fast board that's naturally somewhat loose but also has precision to play with vertical surfing.
⬩ You're torn between a groveler shortboard and a twin keel fish, but want something a little more in the fishy world.
