Cafe Racer

The Christenson Surfboards Café Racer is an iconic model that has solidified its reputation in the surf community since its introduction in 2004. This board is meticulously designed with a spiral vee and double concave bottom that enhances its performance across various wave conditions. The low rails contribute to a smooth and controlled ride, enabling surfers to carve with precision while effortlessly generating speed when set on rail. The Café Racer is clearly engineered for dynamic performance, making it a go-to choice for both seasoned surfers and those newer to the sport.

The 2025 upgrades introduce significant enhancements, including the removal of the traditional beak nose, which allows for increased nose rocker. This adjustment improves maneuverability and lends itself beautifully to more aggressive turns. Additionally, the refined curves in the design, coupled with a deepened tail concave, elevate overall performance while enhancing the board's aesthetic appeal. Whether ridden as a quad or thruster with the Christenson 5 fin sets in FCS2 or Futures, the Café Racer delivers exceptional versatility. The recommended length ranges from 1 to 3 inches below the surfer's height, providing a tailored fit that maximizes performance, ensuring it functions admirably as a daily driver across both casual and competitive scenarios.

Customizability further enhances the allure of the Café Racer, allowing surfers to select specific colors, finishes, fin setups, and materials to suit personal preferences. With multiple sizes ranging from 5’4” to 6’0”, there is a configuration for every type of rider. Whether you're carving perfect lines or tackling steep faces, the Christenson Café Racer promises an exhilarating experience on the water, embodying both style and performance.
