Core Badger 2 Surfboard Lightweight Small Wave & Freestyle Surfboard The Core Badger 2 is designed for riders who love smaller swell and strapless freestyle. With extra volume in the nose and a classic fishtail, the Badger 2 delivers snappy, agile turns while still maintaining grip and control through longer arcs. Its compact shape also makes it a top choice for freestyle tricks, jumps, and rotations. For 2026, the Badger has been updated with a new optimized finish, making it up to 100 grams lighter. The weight reduction increases agility and airtime, giving you an instant performance boost in aerial tricks and strapless freestyle. Built with XPS Composite Sandwich construction and Infusion Technology, the Badger 2 combines a waterproof, durable core with exceptional strength in a thinner build. A carbon tail patch reinforces pressure stability in the rails and protects against deck dents, while the Level One Verified Ecoboard certification ensures more sustainable materials for a lower environmental footprint. The refined 3D hull transitions from a spine in the nose to a double concave and Vee tail for speed and control, while the flat rocker line ensures early planing and reliable edging. Equipped with an FCS II Thruster fin setup, the Badger 2 balances drive, control, and a skatey, playful feel.
