Wabi built
Built for speed and release in weak waves.
A small-wave shortboard built to make weak surf feel alive. Wabi gets in early, carries speed through flat sections and stays quick off the tail.
Who it's for: Intermediate to advanced surfers who want shortboard response on the small, soft days that usually make performance boards feel slow.
Waves and feel: 1-3ft beachbreaks and soft points. Fast to plane, easy to accelerate and quick to redirect when the section gives you little room.
Why it feels
that way.
A flatter curve, fuller outline and added rail volume create speed without taking away the ability to turn.
Bottom
Flat through the entry, into a slight double between the fins and V off the tail for lift and quick rail-to-rail changes.
Rails
Fuller rails carry speed and resist bogging when the wave has little push.
Outline
A compact, fuller outline adds paddle power and planing area while keeping the board easy to fit into short sections.
Tail
Squash tail gives more lift under the back foot and releases quickly at the end of a turn.
Speed through weak sections
The flat rocker and fuller outline help the board keep moving when the wave goes soft.
Quick off the tail
Tail lift and V through the exit make tight turns easier in small pockets.
Built for
Turn small sloppy surf into a memorable session.
Choose the right board for your goal.
Wabi is the small-wave performance option. Compare it with boards that trade some looseness for more glide, range or hold.

Useful
answers.
The details that matter before you place a made-to-order board.
Can I order this model without a Design Session?
Yes. Choose one of the listed dimensions and order it directly from this page. Use a Design Session only when you want to change the specification or add decorations, change colour, or make another custom change.
What makes a Yugen board different?
Every Yugen model is designed for a clear purpose: to help a surfer create a specific feeling or make progress toward a specific goal. The range combines surfboard design knowledge with practical experience in surfing skills development.
What materials are used in the standard build?
We use premium polyurethane foam blanks, E-GLASS fiberglass and polyester resin for all our boards.
How durable is a Yugen fiberglass board?
We focus on careful craftsmanship and select premium materials for the intended build. Like any fiberglass surfboard, its life also depends on how it is surfed, transported and stored. Direct impacts, excessive heat and water entering an unrepaired ding can shorten its life. You will receive specific care instructions when you place your order.
How are Yugen boards shaped?
Each board begins with its 3D design and is precision CNC cut, then finished by hand. We believe that precision at the time of manufacturing ensures the board behaves the way it was intended and keeps consistency high.
Can I change or cancel a made-to-order board?
Each board is made to order based on the options you chose. Because of that, we cannot make changes or cancellations once an order has been placed. All sales are final. If something arrives damaged or with a craftsmanship issue, please reach out to us at [email protected] and we will make it right. Made-to-order boards are covered under our standard warranty and the same level of care we put into every board we build.
How long does the board take?
The current build estimate is about six weeks. The ready date shown on this page updates when you order.
How are boards shipped?
Do you ship internationally?
What if there is a manufacturing problem?
Need anything changed?
Dimensions, volume, construction, fins or finish are worked through in a Design Session.
