Mike Purpus Model
Standard Sizes: 9’0” to 10’0”
Nose: 17 3/4”
Middle: 22 1⁄2” to 23 1⁄2”
Tail: 16”
Thickness: 2 7/8” to 3 1/4”

The newest addition to the curent Jacobs line, this late 60's classic was discovered by a surfboard collector and is often considered a next generation to the original Bing Noserider. The board was ridden and praised by several professional longboarders as one of the best noseriders ever to be shaped. In '67, Hap finally granted young ripper Mike Purpus a model of his own after he won the Oceanside contest. The board was originally designed at a time when noseriding became less of a focus and turning became more important, making it a more maneuverable surfboard that still allows plenty of tip-time. With a defined concave similar to noseriders of the time combined with a more refined rail and tail rocker, the Mike Purpus model has an outline that is more conducive to turning and noseriding, rather than just one.

A surfboard that exemplifies all of Jacobs Surfboard's heritage, the Classic Noserider features the rocker of the Traditional Noserider but is accented by the triple redwood stringer setup and blended wood tail block.

Jacob's most popular board, the Traditional Noserider was designed to be a smooth-turning all-around surfboard built for stability and glide. The low-rocker, blended concave nose, tail and nose kick, 50/50 rails, and single-fin box create a board that is easy to turn and glide and noseride. Available in a rounded pin tail or square tail, this board performs well in small to medium sized waves and at all types of surf breaks.

A new revival of the original 60's model, which was designed by Dale Velzy and Hap Jacobs, then named after Hap's shop located at 422 Pacific Coast Highway, the 422 Traditional Noserider is made with authentic double redwood stringer setup and shaped with traditional soft 50/50 rails, a pronounced teardrop concave for long noserides and the 422 signature "hips" and single pivot fin box for control in turning. The 422 was one of the first noseriders ever to be designed and was Jacob's response to the popularity of the Bing Nuuhiwa Noserider. This board works well in small to mid-size waves with clean conditions.

The Classic Pig provides an authentic glimpse into the true beginnings of surfing.

Jacobs New Shape
Standard Sizes: 9’0” to 10’0”
Nose: 18 3⁄4”
Middle: 22 1⁄4” to 23 1⁄2”
Tail: 15 ”
Thickness: 3” to 3 1⁄4”

Borrowing its name from the 1960s Jacobs model, the "New Shape" due to similarities in its conception, the modern-day Jacobs New Shape model was designed when several team riders demanded a versatile board, ideal for quick, challenging conditions and contest surfing. Hap encountered this same request during the 60s and got together with one of his shapers at the time, Rick Irons, and came up with the original New Shape Model. Today's New Shape utilizes a shorter noserider blank, i.e. dimensions and rocker, to give you glide and stability for noseriding but adds a round pintail, a 2+1 Jacobs signature fiberglass fin setup and a hard edge through the tail for maneuverability and quick response. This board is ideal for medium to big beach break or reef break. The New Shape is praised as the most versatile board in the Jacobs line.

With the refined classic outline of the 1960's 422 model and modern designed rails and bottom, the 422 Performance Noserider is a quick-turning longboard with a unique stability for noseriding. This board features a more progressive tail and nose rocker, blended concave, 50/50 rails to a 60/40 rail in the tail, a rounded pin tail, and the 422 signature "hips". The 422 Performance Noserider is available as a single fin or with a 2+1 fin setup. This board is versatile, fast, and made for medium to large down the line surf.

Standard Sizes: 8’6” to 9’6”
Nose: 18 3/4“
Middle: 22 1⁄4” – 23”
Tail: 14 1⁄2“
Thickness:2 3⁄4” to 3 1⁄2”

The Jacobs High Performance model is a tri-fin model designed for maneuverability and speed with a slight concave nose, flat middle bottom and a vee bottom tail. This board is one of our most popular models. The extra overall rocker, soft rails in the middle, and hard edge in the tail make this board ideal for faster and larger wave conditions where you can dig the tail into the wave for big sweeping turns and powerful off the lips. This board is glassed with lighter materials (6+4oz deck, 6oz bottom) for increased maneuverability and speed. The Jacobs High Performance is an essential for any quiver.

This board is typically airbrushed with color for a lighter more maneuverable board. Resin tints upon request.

Nose: 16 3⁄4“
Middle: 20 1⁄2” to 22 1⁄4”

The Jacobs Egg is inspired by transitional surfboards from the early 1970s. This board is an egg-shaped tri-fin with a rounded pin tail that combines smooth gliding speed with loose maneuverable turns. The Jacobs Egg is the perfect blend of a traditional outline with progressive turning ability and features a hard edgel in the tail with soft rails forward from the tail giving it a retro mid-length feel. This board is designed for medium to large waves and for longboarders that want a shorter board feel or vice versa for the shortboarder looking for a longer board experience.

Thickness: 2 1”2 to 3”

Borrowing its name from the late 70s/early 80s Jacobs model, the Shrimp is based on the designs used most frequently during the small wave-single fin era, just before the introduction of thruster fins. One of the most refined single-fin shortboard designs of that era, the Shrimp features low rocker profile with a hard down rail and a slight vee through the tail. This board is ideal for anything from junky ankle-high beach break waves to world-class overhead waves and compliment any quiver.

Unlike any other fish on the market, the Jacobs Twin-fin Fish features the traditional outline from the 1970s and the progressive rail of a modern shortboard.

Each balsa surfboard will be signed personally by Hap Jacobs.
