Grace Surfboards Purple Haze

Overview

Retro Single Fin Range – Phil Grace Purple Haze Model

The Purple Haze by Phil Grace is a raw, authentic tribute to the early days of surfing, built for those who understand that true style is rooted in speed and simplicity. Inspired by the era where the goal was to outrun the section with absolute composure, this model strips away the noise to deliver an uncompromising mix of pure speed, effortless glide, and one single fin.

Designed to eliminate unnecessary pumping and the flailing of arms, the Purple Haze forces you to let the board and the wave do the work. It captures the essence of vintage surfing by locking into high-lines and executing sweeping, powerful carves, providing the ultimate feeling of pure stoke and connection to the water.

This model is best suited for surfers looking for a pure, unadulterated retro experience. If you appreciate traditional lines, natural trim, and want a board that carries its own momentum with an elegant, minimalist approach, the Purple Haze is the perfect vintage tool to refine your style.

Model Outline

Classic vintage single fin outline with a generous distribution of volume throughout the core to maximize paddle power and early wave entry. The template features sleek, continuous lines that prioritize stability and forward momentum, allowing the board to track beautifully down the line.

Bottom Contours

Hard rails and V bottom — True to the design breakthroughs of the early days, the hull utilizes a pronounced V bottom contour to facilitate seamless, rolling rail-to-rail transitions. Paired with strategically harder rails in the tail, this configuration creates sharp water release, delivering immediate speed and drive without the need to pump.
