BADGER 2 AND BADGER PRO
WAVE PERFORMANCE FOR EVERY LEVEL.
We are launching a new generation of the popular Badger surfboard – a favorite among riders on the North and Baltic Seas and introduce the all-new Badger Pro: an ultra-direct, extremely lightweight full-carbon version built for the most demanding riders.
With the Badger, our shapers created a true favorite for kite surfers in small waves. Featuring plenty of volume in the nose and a classic fish tail, the Badger was purpose-built for riding in small (wind) swell. Its compact shape also makes it exceptionally capable in strapless freestyle.
BADGER 2
Less weight, lighter feel
With plenty of volume in the nose and a classic fish tail the Badger not only enables you to catch and stay in the wave but also excels at extremely snappy turns. The long rail still maintains lots of grip on a wider radius. Its compact shape also makes it a top pick for strapless freestyle. The new Badger 2 comes with an optimized coating that makes it a good 100 grams lighter. That means even more freestyle potential – you’ll feel the difference instantly in jumps, rotations, and aerial tricks.
BADGER PRO
Thinner. More direct. 100% Pro.
With the Badger Pro, we are taking the popular all-round fish board to the next level – a truly tuned surfboard for those seeking maximum fun in small waves, onshore conditions, and strapless freestyle. Lighter, tougher, and more direct: with a full-carbon shell and a significantly thinner EPS core, the Badger Pro delivers incredible flex characteristics, unmatched board feedback, and ultimate control. Its specialized construction makes it over 25% lighter than the Badger 2, while offering maximum protection against dents and snaps. Your most radical companion for up to head-high waves, onshore conditions, and strapless freestyle.
