FAQs

The Garuda suits surfers who are already comfortable riding green waves and want a daily-driver shortboard around the 140 to 185 lb range. It is not a first surfboard, but it is a solid step for intermediates who want a dependable 6'1 epoxy shortboard for everyday surf.

Yes. The Garuda balances performance and accessibility better than an ultra-low-volume shortboard, which is why it works well for intermediates stepping out of soft tops or more forgiving hybrids. It is built to handle regular performance surfing without feeling overly specialized.

An epoxy shortboard feels quicker, firmer, and far more responsive through turns than a soft top. A soft top is still better for learning and easy wave-catching, but the Garuda gives you more control, speed, and precision once your fundamentals are in place.
