WATCH SURF SPLENDOR'S REVIEW >
The Bom Dia is a modern performance asymmetrical shortboard designed for high-level surfing without compromising paddle power or flow. Born from a design originally shaped for Kelly Slater during Stab’s Electric Acid Surfboard Test, and later refined with Victor Bernardo, the Bom Dia offers a progressive blend of speed, control, and maneuverability. Its asymmetrical design and unique fin configuration provide a tailored feel underfoot, translating to instant responsiveness, rail-to-rail freedom, and intuitive performance in a wide variety of waves.
Pro
Performance + Paddle Hybrid: Paddles like an alternative board but surfs like a shortboard, making it accessible yet aggressive.
Asym Advantage: The unique tail and fin layout create a custom-fit feel for frontside and backside surfing—boosting drive, flow, and control where it counts.
Refined Bottom Contours: A deep single to double concave and spiral vee enhance speed generation, rail transitions, and lift off the back foot.
Hidden Foam Distribution: Smart volume placement under the chest improves paddle power and carry without sacrificing rail sensitivity.
Con
Not for the Traditionalist: Surfers seeking a conventional feel or aesthetic might struggle to warm up to the asymmetry.
Tuned for Performance: Although user-friendly for experienced surfers, it may feel too twitchy or specialized for those just getting comfortable on performance shapes.
Final Verdict
The Bom Dia is a forward-thinking shortboard that seamlessly merges modern performance with alternative board attributes. Whether you're pushing hard rail turns or just looking for that "all-wheel-drive" feel, this board responds with speed, flow, and an impressive level of control. Ideal for surfers who want to push performance without sacrificing paddle power or fun, the Bom Dia doesn’t just surf differently—it surfs smarter.
