Humboldt Shortboard Surfboard – Versatile BPT Carbon Shortboard for Small Waves to Slightly Overhead Surf
Overview
The Humboldt is a versatile shortboard designed for surfers who want one board capable of handling a wide range of everyday conditions. Its combination of buoyancy, speed, responsiveness, and adaptable rocker makes it equally at home in smaller, weaker waves and more substantial surf.
A slight rocker in the nose and tail helps with paddling and later entries, while the flatter midsection generates speed once you're standing. A moderate double concave through the tail helps channel water efficiently through the fins, supporting speed, lift, and a looser feel through turns.
With seven sizes and a Bomb Proof Tech (BPT)™ carbon construction, the Humboldt is built to provide a performance-oriented ride with the durability needed for frequent surfing.
Key Features
-
Versatile One-Board Design — Built to perform across a broad range of wave sizes and conditions.
-
Buoyant & Fast — Extra volume helps with paddling and wave entry while the flatter midsection supports speed once on your feet.
-
Balanced Rocker — Slight nose and tail rocker helps with paddling and late entries without sacrificing speed through the middle of the board.
-
Moderate Double Concave — Channels water through the fin area for a combination of speed, lift, and responsive turning.
-
Responsive Rail-to-Rail Feel — The bottom contour helps create a looser, more maneuverable feel when carving.
-
Broad Wave Range — Designed for conditions ranging from approximately 2-foot surf through slightly overhead waves.
-
Seven Size Options — Makes it easier to match board volume and dimensions to different surfers and riding preferences.
-
Bomb Proof Tech (BPT)™ — Vacuum-bagged carbon construction is designed to balance flex, responsiveness, and durability.
-
Automotive Clear Coat — Carbon inlays are incorporated beneath the clear coat for a clean finished appearance.

Bomb Proof Tech (BPT)™ Construction
The Humboldt uses Bomb Proof Tech (BPT)™, combining a stringerless EPS blank with vacuum-bagged carbon. Carbon inlays are positioned beneath the automotive clear coat to provide a performance-oriented balance of flex, strength, and durability.
Surf Cycle states that its manufacturing process is designed to produce boards with substantially increased durability compared with traditional construction methods and cites durability of up to five times longer than conventional boards. This is a manufacturer claim and may depend on construction, use, and riding conditions.
