The Mullet Mini is a hybrid construction board based on our all-time top selling Fat Cat & Bob Cat Models.

These are based on the theory of a "planing hull" / Mini Simmons style boards and compared to a traditional surfboard it is wider, shorter, and flatter. These features combine to maximise planning area, while minimizing drag. This means you can get exceptional down the line speed off the weakest of sections.

The Hybrid Construction style has allowed us to create softboards that are much closer to a traditional fibreglass surfboard. The addition of the Fibreglass Membrane makes them considerably stiffer, which increases the speed you are able to generate from your bottom turn and maintain through turns. The added strength has also allowed us to make them a touch thinner which aids in increasing responsiveness and manoeuvrability.

How's it Ride?

This is a unique shape that is super fun to ride and surprisingly versatile.

The flatter rocker, combined with extra thickness and width means its planes easily, and accelerates quickly even in weaker or sloppy waves.

With the bigger keel fins in particular, this board is extremely quick down the line.

As far as turns go, while you can put it on rail, the shape also allows for less conventional moves such as tail slides & spins when the waves don't allow for a more top to bottom style of surfing.

Surprisingly enough, many of our team riders love this model in slabby waves as it has plenty of paddle power but the shorter rail length allow it to fit into hollow waves, and the crescent tail provides good hold.

Ideal Wave Conditions

Ideal waves would probably be long point breaks, particularly if they are a bit fat or section-y.

Also the perfect board to spice up small, weak & junky beach break waves that you wouldn't normally paddle out in.

Fin System

The Mini is a Twin Fin and 2 x Large Keel fins are included with the board.

This model uses Futures Fin boxes and is compatible wiith all Futures Fins (or alternate brand variations).

4'8" x 21 3/4" x 2 3/4" - 35 Litres

Hybrid Construction Details

Like name suggests, we've combined the favourable elements from both a Performance Fibreglass Boards & and Entry Level Softboard to create a selection of board that stays true to our core values of Quality, Performance and Safety. 

Put simply, the construction consists of a Stringered EPS Core, wrapped in Fibreglass Cloth & Epoxy Resin, which is then encapsulated by a traditional Softboard deck skin and slick. 

Detailed Construction Specs:

24kg Density Moulded EPS Core

This core provide unhindered strength and enhanced durability while retaining light weight characteristics. It also has the most buoyancy and floatation of all surfboard cores.

Stringer System

Each Hybrid Board contains a stringer which acts as a backbone to the EPS Core. In the smaller models (6'0 and below), we use a light-weight Fibreglass Stringer, while the larger sizes (6'2+) we use a Solid Bamboo Stringer for increased strength.

Internal Membrane

Each Mullet Hybrid Series board contains 3 layers of 6oz Fibreglass set with Epoxy Resin on the Deck Side. (Standard Shortboards usually 2 X 4oz or 6oz)

On the Slick side contains 1 layers of 6oz Fibreglass set with Epoxy Resin. (Standard Shortboards usually 1 X 4oz or 6oz)

External Membrane

On the deck side this is encapsulated by a 5mm IXPE Deck skin for extra strength, durability and traction.

On the slick side, this is encapsulated by a super High Density PE Slick Bottom for protection, speed and durability.

Futures Fin System

We use an industry standard Futures Fin Box. This allows quick and easy fin installation and removal.

It is compatible with all Futures Fins making it easy to change fins to suit conditions or alter board performance.

Suggested Sizing

This model is best suited to Intermediate - Advanced Riders.

The 4'8 model is ideal for riders up to 85kg.

The 5'0 model is ideal for riders up to 110kg.
