Owners Rating:

The Sweet Spot 3.0 is designed to be surfed a bit bigger to the length of your normal shortboard, offering impressive paddle power and strength. Ideal for intermediate to expert surfers, this board performs well in wave sizes ranging from 4 to 10 feet. Its construction features strong glassing (6 x 4x4) and carbon reinforcements, particularly over the tail and fin boxes. The rocker is pronounced in the nose, while the concave transitions from single to double. With a five-fin setup compatible, the Sweet Spot 3.0 is a versatile and durable choice for both home surf conditions and travel.
