FIN OPTIONS: THRUSTERTAIL OPTIONS: SQUASHWAVE RANGE: SMALL - MEDIUM LARGE

A result of New York’s premier rippers fine tuning a short board with our shapers for their punchier conditions. The world now knows what type of surf New York is capable of and this is the board for those waves! From stoney rock bottoms to endless groins, when the condi-tions are small-medium and vertical the SKYLINE is the call.

FIN OPTIONS: 5-FIN CONVERSION (FCS/FUTURE)TAIL OPTIONS: ROUND / DIAMONDWAVE RANGE: SMALL - MEDIUM

The nugget was designed to make small wave riding fun. The extra volume throughout allows the rider to catch more waves while reducing board length. There is a wide range of length options so the Nugget is suitable for many different surf styles. It’s an ideal shape for a beginner surfer looking to transition from long to shortboards, or a more experienced surfer wanting to ride something in the lower 5’ range. The Nugget will hold it’s place in the lineup & your quiver.

FIN OPTIONS: 5 - FIN CONVERSION (FCS / FUTURE)TAIL OPTIONS: WINGED* SWALLOWWAVE RANGE: SMALL - MEDIUM

By adding a swallow tail and wings to the NUGGET some riders have found a new favorite. Combining convertible fin systems and the swallow tail design the FLYING NUGGET can handle chunkier and heavier days with more speed and increased maneuverability.

Not sure which board in your quiver to ride? “FUGGET!”. This compact model packs a lot of volume in a small, maneuverable package. Designed to be ridden 6-8 inches shorter than your short board with standard lengths in the low 5’ range. This board is your friend from groveling mushy days to speedy racetrack sessions.

FIN OPTIONS: THRUSTER / 5 - FIN CONVERSION (FCS/FUTURE)TAIL OPTIONS: BAT TAILWAVE RANGE: SMALL - MEDIUM

The WOMBAT has opened new doors to alternative high performance surfing with a unique Fang Tail. The added surface area allows for more speed and volume but turns and feels like a round tail. The WOMBAT is a great paddler and will get into waves early. Don’t be afraid to ride 4” or more shorter than your standard shortboard. Whether you are hunting down small waves or traveling to some juice take your feisty WOMBAT along!

FIN OPTIONS: THRUSTER / QUAD / 5 - FIN CONVERSION (FCS/FUTURE)TAIL OPTIONS: DOUBLE-WINGED SWALLOWWAVE RANGE: SMALL - MEDIUM

It isn’t easy to shape a good double winged swallow tail, it takes years of experience. WRV’s ROCKFISH can be traced back to the mid nineties when the fish resurfaced from near extinction. It remains in our quiver because it is time tested, fast and maneuverable.

FIN OPTIONS: THRUSTER / 5 - FIN CONVERSION (FCS/FUTURE)TAIL OPTIONS: SWALLOWWAVE RANGE: SMALL - MEDIUM LARGE

A popular design that has some serious high performance capabilities but need not scare off the inexperienced. It’s in the fish class and has been ridden everywhere from 2’-6’ plus. Fast and responsive yet easy to ride.

FIN OPTIONS: THRUSTER / 5 - FIN CONVERSION (FCS/FUTURE)TAIL OPTIONS: SQUASHWAVE RANGE: SMALL - MEDIUM

The DRONE has come to the party. It has simple square curves that bring on the action. The design has already taken on variations, but it’s definitely a new way to look at high perfor-mance small wave surfing. Developing quickly coast to coast.

FIN OPTIONS: THRUSTER (FCS / FUTURE / GLASS-ON)TAIL OPTIONS: ALL TAIL TYPESWAVE RANGE: SMALL - MEDIUM LARGE

The WRV SLAYER is a hard rockin’ high performance board. It is the big brother of the CHRONIC - carrying more overall volume. The SLAYER sells and sells and sells.

FIN OPTIONS: THRUSTER (FCS / FUTURE / GLASS-ON)TAIL OPTIONS: ALL TAIL TYPESWAVE RANGE: MEDIUM - LARGE

The WRV CHRONIC is the state of the art, the heart of the matter. Take-offs, tube rides, carves, airs and any movement desired is a split second away. Whether it be a local grinding barrel or a legendary surf trip, this board is for the hardcore surfer.

FIN OPTIONS: 5 FIN CONVERSION (FCS / FUTURE)TAIL OPTIONS: ROUNDWAVE RANGE: SMALL - MEDIUM

The WRV BLUNT is another summer curve in our never ending quest to rule out the doldrums. The BLUNT has a little more of a high performance outline than its relative the DRONE. It includes a single to double concave.

FIN OPTIONS: THRUSTER (FCS / FUTURE / GLASS-ON)TAIL OPTIONS: DEEP SWALLOWWAVE RANGE: SMALL - MEDIUM LARGE

The STINGRAY can blaze gracefully in small to medium-large surf. The board is for bigger guys that want a shorter board with paddle power. The STINGRAY is a member of the fish class that is extremely fast due to massive planing surface and minimal rocker. Lengths start at 5’ and go up into the 7’ range combining high-volume, foils, rails, and a flat rocker with a template that can turn any session into a party.

FIN OPTIONS: THRUSTER (FCS / FUTURE / GLASS-ON)TAIL OPTIONS: ALL TAIL TYPESWAVE RANGE: SMALL - LARGE

The FUNBOARD is a descendent of the early egg shapes. It has short board performance in mid-size lengths. WRV has ruled the FUNBOARD since the eighties. Shapes can differ from full rails and round noses to pulled in templates depending on the desired performance. The FUNBOARD is happy in 2 foot surf and will pour it’s heart out in 8 foot Hawaiian.

FIN OPTIONS: SINGLE FIN WITH SIDE BITES (F.U. WITH FCS / FUTURE)TAIL OPTIONS: ALL TAIL TYPESWAVE RANGE: SMALL - MEDIUM

Too cool to ride a funboard? Don’t have room for a longboard? Want to try something differ-ent? See how short you can go but still hang ten? Catch waves and flow with style, bring it to the beach when you don’t know what to ride, get it as your first surfboard or see how techni-cal you can get. The MINI-LONG is perfect for everyone. Sizing from 7’ up to the mid 8’ range. Comes with 2+1 fin configuration, ride a longer trail fin for nose rides or a shorter cutaway for quick maneuverability. You cant go wrong with the MINI-LONG.

FIN OPTIONS: SINGLE FIN / 2 PLUS 1. THRUSTER / QUAD / 5 - FIN CONVERSIONTAIL OPTIONS: ALL TAIL TYPESWAVE RANGE: SMALL - REAL BIG

Longboards of the modern era are lighter and more dynamically advanced from the early days of surfing. WRV helped reintroduce the longboard in the eighties. It is our goal to create mas-terpieces of quality with contemporary templates, foils and rockers. The 2 + 1 fin configuration is most common on boards from 9’0” to 10’0” and up. The small stabilizer fins allow for more width in the tail which is a must in small waves and also help to hold in larger surf. Perfor-mance longboards from WRV are shaped with speed and maneuverability in mind. Whether beginner or veteran the thrill is real.

FIN OPTIONS: SINGLE / 2 PLUS 1 (F.U. WITH FCS / FUTURE)TAIL OPTIONS: ALL TAIL TYPESWAVE RANGE: VERY SMALL - MEDIUM LARGE

Marty Keesecker was in the original WRV factory working on longboards back in 1967. He is still hand shaping these beauties for your cruising pleasure. He has been joined by other wor-thy craftsmen. The CLASSIC is available in many finishes, multiple stringers, nose and tail blocks, volan glass, and resin tints. It can be ordered as a single fin or a 2+1 fin set up. The natural rocker and hipped outline make this board great for logging hours on those smaller days spent surfing till the sun goes down.
