The Ugly, Bob Purvey Design Limited Edition (LE) is made with a Balsa wood core and shaped to the original specifications of The Ugly established in 1966. It is hand signed by Bob Purvey, numbered and comes with a certificate of authenticity. The Limited Edition is limited to 250 numbered surfboards and will never be made again.

The Ugly grabbed the world’s attention because of its unique shape and pure functionality to get the longest nose rides.

In 1966, Bob Purvey won the Morey-Pope Pro Noseriding Invitational, riding the nose of the first Ugly prototype for an accumulated time of 41.5 seconds; an average nose ride of 7 seconds per wave on six waves.

The Ugly's design is now widely recognized as the standard bearer and measuring stick for noserider style surfboards.

Most shapers try to shape an Ugly just to test their own skills, because it challenges the best of skills. The Ugly is considered by many shapers the most difficult design to shape.

The Ugly SE features a foam spreader to widen the tip, a deep concave one-third of the board’s overall length to make the tip float higher, a kicked up tail for hold and Volan lamination for durabilty.

Precision shaping and the best quality lamination go into each SE, carefully crafted with attention to detail and the unique, state-of-the-art, technical process provided specially by the highly skilled craftsman at 12th Floor Foam & Glass.

The Ugly’s functionality, quality and history make it one of the most valued longboards ever built and the LE will add even more.
