Description
The one board that does it all
The Amp is Airush's best-known all-round surf shape, developed with Reider Decker. It combines a flat rocker, for speed and control, with a curvier outline that gives drive and manoeuvrability. The fuller nose helps in light wind and the single-to-double concave soaks up choppy water effortlessly. In this v6 it's thinner, with a more refined rail, and comes in the durable, flexy Reflex Glass construction.
Reflex Glass · Sizes 5'2" – 5'6" · 20.4 – 22.9 L · Thickness 2.0" · With pads
Who it's for
- Riders who want a single board for small waves, flat water and strapless.
- Anyone looking for the Amp shape in a tough glass construction.
- Spots with onshore wind and waves up to shoulder height.
- Riders getting started in waves on a directional board who want a board that grows with them.
What makes it special
01 All-round surf shape
Flat rocker for speed and control and a curvier outline for drive and turns. The full nose helps in light wind.
02 Fast rocker and manoeuvrable outline
Medium rocker in the tail, centre and nose, with a narrow tail, wide point in the centre and wide nose: speed in small waves and tight turns. The v6 is thinner, with a thinner rail.
03 Durable Reflex Glass construction
Multi-layer glass laminate, double I-Beam stringer, PET sandwich and light EPS core: a tough board that keeps its flex.
Where it shines: small and medium waves, onshore wind, flat water and strapless freestyle.

Technology and construction
- High-reactivity glass laminate: multi-layer glass with reinforcements in the highest impact or torsion areas, spreading the load to the outer skin.
- Double I-Beam stringer: two composite stringers that reinforce the board lengthwise.
- High-density PET sandwich: multi-layer skin on deck and bottom, resistant to dings and deformation.
- Light fused EPS core: reduces weight together with the outer skin.
- Single-to-double concave: soaks up choppy water and gives grip in the turn.

- Grip pads: included as standard.
- Futures boxes: according to Airush, all its directional boards are compatible with Futures fins.
- Ecoboard: Airush develops its directional board range with Sustainable Surf following Ecoboard criteria: a smaller carbon footprint, recycled or renewable materials and less toxic processes.
