Dumplin Mid-Length Surfboard – High-Volume Paulownia EPS Shape for Easy Paddling & More Waves

Overview

The Dumplin is a high-volume mid-length surfboard designed to help you paddle easier, catch waves earlier, and increase your wave count without giving up maneuverability. Available in three sizes from 6'6" to 7'6", it combines generous flotation with a responsive shape that makes everyday surfing more accessible and enjoyable.

Its forward wide point and extra foam under the chest provide paddle power and stability, while the pulled-in pin tail keeps the board controlled through turns. A progressive rocker, 60/40 rails, and vee-to-double concave bottom help the Dumplin transition smoothly from relaxed trimming to more committed surfing.

Constructed with EPS and Paulownia wood, the Dumplin is designed for surfers who want the glide and forgiveness of a larger board in a shorter, more maneuverable package.
