Summary:
The Pretty Sweet is a no-excuses, fun-first surfboard built to get you in the water when everyone else is packing it in. With its compact, squashed outline, aggressive bottom contours, and flat rocker profile, this board is all about maximizing speed and fun in sub-par conditions. Whether you’re a beginner stepping off foamies, an intermediate looking for a small-wave weapon, or an advanced surfer dodging the longboard, the Pretty Sweet keeps the stoke high even when the surf isn’t.Pros:
Flat Rocker = Fast in Weak Waves: Glides effortlessly through flat sections and mushy conditions.
Aggressive Bottom Contours: The single to double to spiral vee helps lift the board onto plane quickly and adds maneuverability even in tiny surf.
Paddle-Friendly Outline: The wide, compressed shape offers great surface area for paddling and early entry.
Versatile Appeal: Great for a range of skill levels—from transitioning beginners to advanced surfers chasing groveler fun.
Cons:
Limited in Size & Power: While excellent in weak surf, the design will feel outmatched in bigger or steeper waves.
Not a Performance Board: Those looking for tight snaps or vertical maneuvers in the pocket may find it a bit too cruisey.
Final Verdict:
The Pretty Sweet is your go-to board when the waves are less than inspiring. It’s the kind of board that makes bad days fun, paddles like a dream, and doesn’t take itself too seriously. Keep it in your trunk for those small, crumbly days and you’ll find yourself surfing more—and smiling more—no matter what the forecast says.
