GH SIGNATURE Template
The Golden Child uses George Humphreys Signature Template. This template is Georges' "go-to" whether it be everyday beachies, World Tour Comps or 20 footers out the Right. This is our most popular template amongst our team riders. It has an average width, with a nice curve that makes it ideal for all conditions.
KINETIC PP CORE (1.9lb)
A lightweight core that is fusion formed, delivering incredible flex properties, including instant recoil, enhanced longitudinal stiffness and awesome compression strength. It is also 100% Waterproof, ensuring it stays nice and light throughout your boards life. Ideal for anyone in mid to warm climates, and extremely durable for those who surf a lot!
STRINGER & MESH
The PP/ Stringer / Mesh combo is the most common construction style used by our team riders. These work together to provide stiffness & recoil both longitudinally and laterally, whilst also increasing durability.
SURLYN SLICK
The slick Pro Bodyboarders demand ! Finest grade authentic Dupont Surlyn™ slick skin. Surlyn™ exhibits rubber-like properties for superior projection. It is designed so as that it has minimal impact on the flex properties of the core.
PE DeckSKIN
The preferred Deck Skin of our Pro Riders as it has less effect on natural flex of the core. Also provides a little more grip than IXL Deckskin.
CrESCENT TAIL
The most popular bodyboard tail. The clipped crescent tail provides the perfect mix of hold, drive and responsiveness when you need it, in all types of conditions
CNC GRADUATED CHANNELS
These channels are constructed using an AKU Shaper Machine. This is the same machine used to create subtle concaves on surfboards, allowing millimetre perfect results.
They are positioned as close to the rail as possible and lightly graduated to give the rider the perfect balance of hold on the face, release when you need it, and speed!
55/45 DOUBLE RAILS
The Double rails enhances both the stiffness and durability of the board while the 55/45 Rail shape allows a touch more rail to be in the water, allowing for greater control.
Signature GH GRIPs
One of George's non-negotiables. This mode features a Hand recess contour combined with Nose Bulbs and Deck Grips ensure a strong grip on the nose of the board.
Suggested Sizing
As a general guide, a bodyboard should go to the rider's belly button. apart from that, there are no hard and fast rules when it comes to choosing the correct size board. Generally bigger boards are faster, but not as easy to control, and generally suited to smaller waves and beginners. On the other hand smaller boards are a bit harder to generate speed, however, have greater control and are ideal for bigger waves and more advanced riders.
As a guide, please refer to the table below. If you're a beginner, you are probably best suited to a size in which you fall in the lower end of the weight range. ie. 40kg beginner woudl be best suited to 38", not 36".
| Board Size | Weight Range |
| 34" | <30kg |
| 36" | 25-40kg |
| 38" | 35-50kg |
| 40" | 45-75kg |
| 42" | 65-95kg |
| 44" | 80-105kg |
