This board was born from the need for a comfortable shape in uncomfortable situations.
Its forward maximum width and the volume under the chest make it a powerful paddler, designed to get you into the wave as early as possible and handle the takeoff in the best possible way.
It's not an everyday board.
It's not a board for everyone.
It's a board for slabs, for heavy barrel days, when the ocean is genuinely dangerous, unpredictable, and the waves are thick and heavy.
In those conditions, it has an extra gear compared to the other boards in my quiver.
At the same time, the volume through the tail and its narrow width give the board an incredible sense of drive and confidence you can rely on.
It's like a motorcycle with the suspension dialled in for a rock garden !
A tool built for last-second takeoffs, heavy barrels, and getting into the wave as early as possible and in the best possible way.
Buyo. For when it gets “buio” !

The Buyo I'm surfing right now is 6'3" x 19" x 2" 9/16. I’m 1.83 m tall (6'0") and usually weigh around 78–80 kg (172–176 lbs).
