The BSAR is Simpo’s go-to high-performance daily driver—designed to deliver elite-level performance with just enough forgiveness to make it accessible for a wide range of surfers. This board has been continually refined through subtle tweaks, resulting in a well-balanced, responsive shape. It features moderate nose and tail rocker, with a bit of extra kick off the tail for tighter turns. A speed-generating “engine room” underfoot pairs with a slightly thicker centerline under the chest for easy paddling and drive, while the refined rail taper and slight vee deck improve sensitivity and control. A fuller outline in both the nose and tail contributes to a stable, yet maneuverable feel.
Pros:
Balanced rocker profile offers a blend of speed and control
Thicker centerline improves paddle power and drive
Refined rails and vee deck enhance sensitivity and responsiveness
Fuller outline adds stability without sacrificing performance
Cons:
May feel slightly “full” for surfers who prefer ultra-refined step-ups
Best suited to intermediate to advanced surfers—less ideal for beginners
Summary:
The BSAR is a versatile high-performance shortboard built for daily use in a variety of conditions. It offers a pro-level feel with added approachability, blending paddle power, speed, and refined responsiveness. Whether you're pushing your limits or just looking for a reliable all-arounder, the BSAR delivers.
