FACTORY SECOND - See real life photos for colour reference: This board is part of a limited collection of Factory Second surfboards. These boards function as intended but have a touch more personality. This personality comes in the form of imperfections in the handwork that is involved in making these surfboards. For example, the colour is not perfect, the logo is in the wrong position or there is a minor fault in the finish. In return, you get a great deal on the price. If you can live with these imperfections, these deals are definitely for you!
Please refer to the real life colours on the photos of the boards in front of the wall. The one with the greenish tint is the Jade variant.
The Hermit, Mid Length surfboards have become popular over the last couple of years. The versatility of the Hermit is the reason it works in such a wide range of conditions. The Hermit is probably the primary go-to board in the TCSS range if you wanted to surf every day and only had one board to surf on. We have set the volume to moderate to help get into the waves early and set up for long runs. The generous outline and smooth curves mean this board is designed to have excellent balance between drawing long smooth lines in cruise mode and pulling a great turn on the open face when the opportunity presents. Without doubt, the Hermit will be one of your favourite boards.
Construction - Polyester (PU)
Polyester or PU construction uses traditional materials and laminating techniques to produce a strong, reliable surfboard with high-quality finishes. All polyester boards are CNC milled from the shaper's files and laminated by hand using quality components such as Hexcel fibreglass, Silmar resin and Bennett foam. For years traditional polyester boards have been at the forefront of performance surfing. These boards feature a progressive flex pattern controlled by a high-grade timber stringer and feel very reliable under your feet. Polyester construction will perform in all surf conditions and can be adapted to suit a wide variety of surfboard models.
Fins included: 7" Center Fin
A quick note about our photos!
We use a mix of official brand images and real-life shots from our warehouse to help you make an informed decision.
That said, what you see might differ slightly from what you receive — simply because we can't photograph every possible variation.
For example, a photo might show a 6'2 board with Futures fin boxes, while you've selected a 5'10 with FCS II. Don’t worry — you’ll get exactly what you ordered.
Sometimes, small details like the logo, its placement or overall colour tones can vary slightly depending on the production batch, camera, lighting, or even your screen settings.
These are always only minor differences, and in most cases, the photos are spot on - but we totally get that buying online can feel tricky. If you ever want more details, just drop us a message — we're happy to help!
