CHARLIE’s seven-layer bamboo construction makes it less buoyant, which actually helps riders get up easier than thicker boards while the oval shape provides plenty of surface area for easy drop-the-handle surfing all day. This makes CHARLIE the perfect option for beginners and intermediate surfers, but even advanced surfers can take advantage of its snappy flexibility for some killer high-speed slingshots.

Whether you’re just looking to get more confidence with your turns or trying to throw down your first 360, CHARLIE’s oval shape and razor-thin design make it super-light, ultra-maneuverable, and approachable for surfers at any skill level.

CHARLIE sports semi hard-edged rails that deliver more acceleration and responsiveness while slashing through the wake. Pair that with a 2” fin and you’ve got the perfect blend of power and stability.

CHARLIE is designed to handle the normal use (and occasional abuse) of surfing behind your boat all year long. However, because CHARLIE is made from bamboo, special care should be taken to keep it dry after each use. Doing so will significantly extend the life of the board.

- Always keep your board protected in a cover or case like a MISSION Board Sock to prevent minor dings and scratches, and protect it from harmful UV rays which can cause excessive fading and delamination.

- Never leave your board in direct sunlight or a damp, hot location like your car trunk or boat locker, when not in use. This can cause bubbling delamination or warping.

- Feel free to put CHARLIE in a clamp-style board rack. It can handle it!

Take CHARLIE home and test it out for 30 days. If it's not what you're looking for, no worries! We'll swap it out for another board or refund your purchase.
