Black and White

Owners rating:

The Black & White, designed by Britt Merrick and Dane Reynolds, is a high-performance shortboard ideal for down-the-line speed and smooth rail-to-rail transitions. Inspired by Santa Barbara point breaks, it features a low entry rocker, a staged flat section between the feet, and an accelerated tail kick. The single concave runs the board’s length, deepest near the front fins, transitioning to a hint of vee at the tail block. The flat deck design provides improved flex, a solid underfoot feel, and full rails. Suitable for most surfers and conditions, it should be ridden 1/8” thinner than your normal shortboard.

RETAIL PRICE: $775.00 USD

An all around, high performance shortboard designed for down the line speed and easy rail-to-rail transitions, the Black & White is based on a favorite hand shape Britt Merrick made Dane Reynolds for Santa Barbara area point breaks. Dane related its feel to a good MBM.
The Black & White has a fairly low entry rocker, a staged flat-ish section between the feet, and an accelerated kick out the tail. A single concave runs the length of the board, is deepest near the front fins and shallows into a hint of vee exiting the tail block. A flat deck design, the Black & White offers improved flex characteristics, a solid under-your-feet feel, and full rails.

The board should be ridden about your same height to 2″ longer than you are tall. Because of the flat deck ride the board 1/8” thinner than your normal shortboard to keep the same general volume.

The Black & White is suitable for most surfers in most types of surf where a shortboard is appropriate.
