Design & Performance
Refined Performance Shortboard Template
With its narrow 18 5/8" width and 2 3/8" thickness, this McCrystal shortboard is tuned for surfers who want a responsive, performance-driven ride. The streamlined outline and lower volume underfoot help the board:
- Lock into steeper faces with confidence
- Perform tight, controlled turns in the pocket
- React quickly to subtle weight shifts and rail engagement
- Suit intermediate to advanced surfers who like to push their surfing
Polyester (PU) Construction – Classic Feel and Flex
Built in traditional polyester (PU) construction, this board offers the familiar feel most performance surfers know and love. PU provides:
- Smooth, predictable flex through carves and snaps
- A solid, connected feel in more powerful or choppy conditions
- Classic shortboard responsiveness for rail-surfing and critical maneuvers
Thruster Setup with Fins Included
This board features a thruster fin setup using an “other” style fin system and comes with fins included. The three-fin configuration is ideal for:
- Maximum control and predictability in a variety of wave types
- Strong drive down the line and through turns
- Reliable hold when you’re pushing off the bottom or hitting the lip
Condition Report – Fair but Surf-Ready
This used 6'3 McCrystal Shortboard has been inspected by the Rider Shack crew and is fully watertight and ready to surf. As a fair condition board, it shows honest signs of regular use but remains structurally sound:
- Overall Condition: Fair (3 / 5)
- Pressure Dents: Moderate – visible deck pressures from normal use
- Dings: None – no open dings noted
- Repairs: None needed
- Water Tight: Yes – sealed and surf-ready
The moderate pressure dents are cosmetic and typical of a well-ridden PU shortboard. If you’re focused on how a board performs rather than how pristine it looks, this is a cost-effective way to get into a quality performance shape.

- Intermediate to advanced surfers looking for a responsive, high-performance shortboard
- Riders who surf steeper beach breaks, points, or reefs
- Surfers who like a leaner board that feels sensitive and quick underfoot
- Anyone seeking a budget-friendly performance board with fins included
