RIPABLE: HIGH-PERFORMANCE
The Ripable is a precision-built shortboard designed for high-performance surfing in quality wave conditions. Balancing drive, control, and explosiveness, this model is the go-to board for surfers chasing fast sections, critical turns and responsive handling when the waves turn on.
Originally developed at Firewire for tour surfers Michel Bourez and Stu Kennedy, this board design has evolved through years of refinement. Now part of the Nev Future Shapes lineup, the Ripable features a progressive rocker, streamlined foil, and full-length single concave that delivers instant speed while maintaining a direct and connected feel underfoot.
A back-foot-driven outline provides powerful drive off the tail, while subtle shaping details promote seamless transitions and fluid rail engagement. From mechanical reefs to punchy beach breaks, the Ripable thrives in conditions where performance and timing are critical.
Positioned as the core high-performance shortboard in the Nev Future Shapes quiver, the Ripable caters to experienced surfers seeking progression, power and a pure connection with the wave—trusted by both tour-level pros and local shredders alike.
