Owners Rating:

he Boss Up, designed by Dan Mann in collaboration with Kelly Slater and Kevin Schulz, is the ultimate versatile midlength surfboard. As the bigger brother of the S Boss, it excels in a wide range of surf conditions, from weak wave faces to overhead tubes. It is recomended to ride it with +13 liters more volume than your standard shortboard and the KS1 5 Fin Template as a Quad. Suitable for all levels, the Boss Up features a single to double concave, moderate rockers, and medium rails, making it ideal for 2-8ft waves. The Boss Up is truly a dynamic and responsive ride, perfect for carving and linking turns on open faces or tackling big point breaks like Pavones or Rincon.
