The New Buddy is your go-to small wave performance shredder. A custom shortboard by Jeff "Doc" Lausch designed to make weak surf feel fun again.
The New Buddy excels in softer waves thanks to a wide, full-volume template that paddles like a dream and gets you into waves early. The outline narrows quickly through the back of the board with a bump into a squash tail, locking in control where most small-wave boards start to feel washy. Underneath, a single-to-double concave generates speed through flat sections, while full, forgiving rails through the middle of the board keep the ride loose and playful.
Together, these design elements make the New Buddy shred in small waves the way most shortboards only shred in good ones. It's the board you grab on a 2 ft summer morning when you want to actually have fun.
The New Buddy has been so loved by Surf Prescriptions customers that Doc eventually built a more performance-oriented version of the template for stronger surf. That board became the F-Money.
Best for:
- Waves from 1 to 6 ft
- Summer beach breaks, weak afternoon sessions, and small-wave shredding
- Surfers who want a fun, easy-paddling shortboard for everyday conditions
