Owners Rating:

The Big Rig Driver is the Driver 3.0 scaled up for bigger and/or older surfers who still want a high-performance shortboard rather than a hybrid or mid-length. Single concave running deepest between the feet, with double concave through the fins, cuts through a modern tail rocker so the extra foam does not make it feel sluggish. The entry rocker is moderate and the forward 12 inches of nose outline filled in, which is where the paddle power and glide come from. Volumes run from 31.75L up to 48.25L, aimed at surfers roughly 175lb and up who want to keep riding a performance board.

Volume Calculator

Under Your Feet

Built for bigger frames, and it feels like it: a proper shortboard that happens to have foam where you need it, not a bigger board pretending to rip. The rolled deck and refined rails mean the volume sits under your chest without getting in the way when you put it on rail, and the tail comes alive the second you put weight on your back foot.

When it's pumping

Proper tail rocker from the Driver family, so when the wave has push it will still hold a hard rail turn.
Real size is a bit of an ask at these volumes, it's a performance board scaled up, not a step-up.

When it's fair

Gets into waves early, which on a mediocre day is most of the battle.
Still a performance outline underneath, so proper knee-high slop asks more of you than a groveler would
