Description
Recommended rider: Fun for all skill levels. The 8’0 is a little longer and wider than the mini-mal 7’0 version of the DEAD HIPPIE, with over 10 litres more volume, it’s the dream board for the beginner. It is also a great option for the more advanced surfer looking to hone their logging skills, as there is ample room to move around on deck and get some nasal trim.
Ideal wave size: 1-3 foot with some down-the-line form.

Jo –
So happy with my grey 8’0″ Dead Hippie. Easy to glide into waves and maneuverable. Surfing it more than my short board lately, go-to for most conditions.
Thanks Spooked Kooks.
This board channels the spirit of surfing’s Golden Age: the revolutionary 1960s and 70s. It has all the features to help you find that sweet spot on the wave, with plenty of width and volume so you can move around on deck and clock up some serious nasal time. Remove the fins and ride backwards… which could really be forwards… it’s all relative flower child.
