STRETCH BOARDS

The Stretch 2x4 is a top-of-the-range surfboard designed specifically to excel when conditions become solid, hollow and powerful. Designed by legendary shaper Nathan Fletcher and Stretch, this ultimate performance step-up model is optimised for an exclusive quad (four-fin) setup, offering exceptional grip, phenomenal speed and absolute control in the tube. With its slightly forward-set centreline to facilitate paddling take-off and its tapered tail, it allows for precise and smooth manoeuvres through the most critical sections. An essential tool for discerning surfers, available at Waïmea in Anglet and on waimea.fr.

The Stretch IT (standing for ‘Individual Transportation’) is the Stretch brand’s most iconic and enduring mid-length model. A true design oxymoron, it cleverly combines the width, stability and paddling comfort of a longboard at the front with the responsiveness and nimble manoeuvrability of a shortboard at the rear. Its unique outline features a tapered stinger tail profile combined with contoured rails to ensure ultra-precise turn initiation and optimum control at high speed. Featuring an aggressive rocker, it demonstrates rare versatility, excelling just as much on mediocre everyday beach breaks as on the most perfect point breaks and reefs. A timeless, top-of-the-range hybrid model available at Waïmea in Anglet and on waimea.fr.

The Stretch Mini Buzzgun is a unique hybrid model designed by Californian shaper William Stretch Riedel to tackle powerful waves with maximum control and compactness. A direct evolution of the brand’s famous gun shape, this shortened version shifts the beam forward to deliver an ultra-powerful and reassuring paddle at take-off. Its refined outline, combined with a narrow round pin tail, allows it to maintain incredible speeds and bite perfectly into the trough, making it an essential, confidence-inspiring board for committed sessions on the beach breaks at Anglet.
