5’6 Baker Board

5’6 Baker Board

This 5’6 shortboard with 26 litres of volume is a compact, lively board designed for surfers who want a playful and responsive feel. Its shorter outline gives it quick reactions and smooth turns, while the added volume makes paddling easier and take-offs more forgiving.

Although it’s great for intermediates improving their technique, it can also work for smaller beginners who are learning the basics and don’t need the size of a longboard.

Includes: fins + leash. 

Pros ✅

  • Playful and responsive for tight manoeuvres
  • Extra volume helps with easier paddling
  • Works for small beginners and progressing intermediates
  • Comes ready to surf (fins + leash included) 

Cons ❌

  • Not ideal for beginners who are tall or heavier
  • Less stable than longboards or higher-volume boards
  • Can feel twitchy in messy conditions
  • Not suitable for big, powerful waves

Who It’s For:

🟩 Smaller beginners learning the basics
🟦 Intermediates wanting a lively, shorter board
🌊 Surfers practising turn control, speed, and timing
🏄‍♂️ Riders who want a fun, compact softboard for daily surf
