BEACH BEATS OPINION ON THIS BOARD

“This board features a much wider out line in the nose but with a pulled in pin tail, and this gives you lots of paddle, but you can still fling it round tight in the pocket and draw tighter arcs on the face. All round fun for 2-8 foot.”

BEACH BEAT HISTORY

Beach beat surfboards was founded in the mid 80’s in Cornwall by a young Australian surf star and world wanderer, Peter ‘chops’ Lascelles.  After arriving in St Agnes, Cornwall in the early 80’s, Chops made Cornwall and St Agnes his home from then on.  By employing a couple of local Aggie rippers and boat builders to look after the glassing and sanding, and with Chops as the head shaper, the Beachbeat surfboard factory and brand was born, quickly becoming one of the most iconic brands in the European surfing world.  With international surf stars and board shaper friends visiting Chops regularly and taking over the bars and breaks of St Agnes, the surf and surfboard scene there was truly buzzing.

Beach Beat now have a team of UK and international board designers and shapers headed up by Marcus Lascelles, youngest son of the late, great Peter ‘Chops’ Lascelles.  Working closely with riders and local surfers, they test our their boards extensively in the water before releasing to the public.  This is just one board from that collection, and this exact board is available exclusively from bigsurfshop.com.
