Product Description

The 8ft mini mal Bamboo isn't just a looker—it's a standout performer too. Whether you're improving your skills or already an intermediate, this board means more waves caught and turns perfected—what's not to love? The squash tail amplifies this with extra width down to the tail, boosting stability, flotation, speed, and a more agile feel for increased manoeuvrability. Seasoned surfers will dig the bamboo 8ft mini mal's lively, responsive nature—it's light yet sturdy, steering clear of the bulky feel that plagues some other 8ft boards. It's also a top pick for larger riders returning to surfing, seeking a board that still delivers high performance.

8ft x 22 x 2 9/16 - Volume 56.46L

Board supplied with premium Matt Finish Honeycomb FCS style fins fitted via FCS FUSION Finboxes - the Strongest Pre-glass Fin System on the Market.

Also available as a PACKAGE including travel bag, leash, wax and fins.

Bamboo Surfboard Range

Check out our stunning flagship Bamboo Surfboard line, shaped by the legendary Jeff Townsley, the founder of Circle One and one of the OG British surfboard shapers from the 70s. These boards are crafted from sustainable bamboo and laminated with our cutting-edge bamboo epoxy process. Thanks to bamboo's natural strength and flexibility, these boards deliver an unbeatable ride. Each board is made with natural bamboo, so the colour and tone will vary, making every single one a unique masterpiece!

Bamboo is an awesome sustainable resource. It grows super fast and doesn’t need pesticides or herbicides, making it an obvious, eco-friendly choice for surfboard construction.
