Time-tested and team-approved, the R2 has earned its place as a customer favorite and a cornerstone of our high-performance shortboard lineup. This versatile model has been ridden and refined by our entire R&D team across the globe, from the powerful winter swells of Black's Beach to the barreling perfection of Uluwatu. While The R2 shines in epic conditions like Black's and Ulu's, we understand that most of our waves aren't quite so perfect. That's why we've meticulously tested this model in the everyday surf that most of us encounter 95% of the time. From mushy, knee-high waves to punchy, waist-high beach breaks, The R2 proves its versatility and delivers even when the waves aren't world-class.

The R2's design features:

Thicker Nose Foil: Paddling into waves becomes a breeze, even in challenging conditions.

Relaxed Rocker: A smooth, forgiving rocker profile ensures speed and control in a variety of wave types.

Subtle Single Concave: This bottom contour strikes the perfect balance between speed in slower surf and hold in larger, more powerful waves.

The result is a user-friendly shortboard that delivers exceptional performance across a wide range of conditions. It's no wonder the R2 remains a top seller year after year, trusted by surfers of all levels wanting a reliable everyday performance shortboard.
