WATCH LOUIS ANTHONY'S REVIEW >
The Greedy Beaver is a masterful crossover board that blends the glide and paddle power of a midlength longboardwith the maneuverability and responsiveness of a shortboard. Its compressed longboard outline hides a surprisingly nimble shortboard feel, making it perfect for surfers who want the best of both worlds.
The board’s single to double concave bottom enhances water flow and speed, allowing for effortless trimming over flat sections and explosive drive when you put it on rail. The rounded pin tail provides precise control in the pocket, enabling quick, sharp turns that feel right at home in steep or hollow waves. Meanwhile, the beveled rails reduce overall thickness, increasing performance by allowing rapid direction changes without sacrificing stability.
Thanks to its excellent paddle power, the Greedy Beaver helps surfers raise their wave count every session—whether you’re threading through crowded lineups or chasing down fast sections, this board delivers agility and speed without compromise.
Pros:
Combines longboard glide and paddle power with shortboard agility
Single to double concave boosts speed and rail control
Rounded pin tail offers precision in tight, critical turns
Beveled rails allow quick direction changes and increased responsiveness
Great for increasing wave count and making the most of each session
Cons:
Not as specialized as pure shortboards or traditional longboards
May require some adjustment for surfers new to crossover shapes
Less ideal in very steep, heavy waves compared to dedicated shortboards
Summary:
The Greedy Beaver is a versatile hybrid that excels at both cruising and carving, perfectly balancing the ease of a midlength with the punch of a shortboard. Whether you want to trim over slow sections or snap quick turns in the pocket, this board offers the paddle power, speed, and control to make every wave count.
