5150

The Stretch Surfboards 5150 model is an innovative performance shortboard designed for the progressive surfer seeking versatility and responsiveness in small to medium-sized waves. Originally crafted as a daily driver for renowned surfer Nathan Fletcher, the 5150 emphasizes skateboard-like features while maintaining a compact form. At its core, this board features a distinctive snub nose which contributes to a straighter drawn-out rail line, enhancing speed and reducing drag. By opting for a shorter length—typically 4-5 inches less than standard performance thrusters—and a thickness of just 0.2"-0.25" less, surfers can navigate tighter pockets more effectively, thus allowing for a highly personalized surfing style.

In terms of design, the 5150 boasts a flat to single concave that transitions smoothly into a flat tail, complemented by a reverse bottom channel. This combination results in exceptional acceleration and maneuverability, making it ideal for executing sharp cuts and radical turns. The board is available in two configurations: the original snub nose for tighter, rapid performance, or the 5150+ with a more traditional nose and extra rocker, providing versatility for steeper, critical waves. With customizable fin setups—either as a 5-fin or quad configuration—surfers have the ability to fine-tune their ride according to their preferences. Each board is crafted with high-quality materials, such as an EPS core with epoxy lamination, ensuring durability without sacrificing responsiveness, thus making the 5150 an exceptional choice for those looking to elevate their surfing game.
