It may look retro, with a traditional shape and vintage logo, but this five-foot-seven-inch board is no throwback. The glass-on wood fins provide enough drive and stability for everything from two-foot mush to overhead barrels, while the shortboard-like bottom lets it turn like no other fish in the lineup. $830; cisurfboards.com
