Giggle Box – A Retro-Modern Fusion for Speed and Agility
The Giggle Box combines classic 80s and 90s design principles with today’s modern refinements to create a fuller volume board that feels surprisingly quick and nimble. Its flatter deck paired with angular rails helps maintain a well-foiled rail line for smooth, responsive turns. The rocker is kept low, complemented by softer contours and concaves, and finished with a subtle vee off the tail for added release. A slight ‘beak’ nose adds character while enhancing paddling ease and wave-catching ability. The name stems from early riders’ joy—“giggling” at how effortlessly fast and playful the board felt, while the “Box” nods to its flatter deck shape.
Pros:
Flatter deck and angular rails offer excellent rail control and responsiveness
Low rocker and soft concaves maximize speed and smooth flow
Fuller volume increases paddling ease and stability
Subtle vee tail enhances maneuverability and release
Cons:
Fuller volume may feel less precise in very steep, critical waves
Retro-inspired design may not suit surfers looking for ultra-modern, high-performance shapes
Summary:
The Giggle Box is a joyful blend of retro design and contemporary innovation, delivering a fast, playful ride with plenty of volume and responsiveness. Ideal for surfers seeking a smooth, lively board that excels in everyday waves and puts a smile on every turn.
