The newest addition to the Strip Mall Surfer family - The Surfin’ Bird! Putting a little F.U. in FUn! The name pays tribute to Americas favorite land-locked (Strip Mall) surfer band The Trashmen from Minneapolis and their 1960’s hit song.
The shape is an egg (of course) and we designed this one to be a bit shorter with a shorter wheelbase for even more zippy turns. With it’s 11 inch width paired with narrower trucks it handles super surfy! We call the SMS style boards “Wiggle Pigs”, they just feel better with a little more cushion for the pushin’ under your feet.
Revolutionary de-evolution…This artfully curated complete breaks all the rules! Styled as if it’s from an alternate time line…one where the steel and clay wheel boards of the 60’s evolved in a different direction but the style remains in this classic surf shape. More cruiser than a stunt sled but that makes it more challenging and fun to try some moves on it.
The board features custom (and beautiful) round wheel wells for the narrower trucks so you can have more clearance on those sharp turns. The concave and nose and tail kick are on the mellower side for a more relaxed ride.
The amazing artwork was again inked by Mike Guerrero who’s 50’s/ 60’s surf/ skate style of art was an absolute perfect fit for these.
Wheel options:
The 58mm 97a Street Standards were designed to take influence from the steel wheels of yesteryear but with exceptional rebound and performance with top shelf formula. Great for smoother streets and skateparks.
NEW WIDER CLAY PIGEONS! The 56mm 82a Clay Pigeons look spot on to a classic clay wheel but with a buttery smooth ride on less than perfect streets and sidewalks. Please see the wheel pages for all the info.
Bearings: Shipping in a collectable Wild Things tin and made by Quantum these are premium quality (similar to a Bronson G3).

- Board with pre-installed grip tape
- Ace 33 trucks
- Street Standard 58mm/ 97a or Clay Pigeons (wides) 56mm/ 82a wheels

Customize:
Comes with Ace 33’s but we have a few sets of Ace 11’s or 22’s if you want sharper turning or Ace 44’s if you want a little more grind, please request in comments at check-out. Subject to stock on hand…unless you’re willing to wait.
Comes with 1” hardware but if you’d rather have 1.25” to allow for even looser trucks with softer bushings and want to add some risers (sold separately) please request. (I ride 1/8” risers on mine)
