Newave detachable Surfboard: Revolutionise Your Surf Trips
At Newave, our mission is to transform the surfer experience by making their journeys to the ocean easier.
Our collapsible surfboard combines practicality and performance, rivalling traditional models. Split into three sections, it packs away into a lightweight, purpose-built rucksack for easy transport.

Assembled in under a minute!
No tools required!

Say goodbye to train fines, excessive fuel consumption with roof-mounted boards, and cramped car journeys!
The solution to all your transport sorrows
Wave goodbye to surfboard transport troubles!
– No more fines on high-speed trains
– Say goodbye to damage during flights
– No more rejections for ride-sharing
– Farewell to storage struggles
With our demountable surfboard and its custom-designed rucksack, weighing just 8 kg, travelling has never been easier. A demountable surfboard in a rucksack means guaranteed freedom!
Did you know?
Our boards are compatible!
We offer two detachable surfboard models:
- Mini-Malibu 7'6
- Longboard 9'
Their compatibility allows you to mix and match parts to create new profiles:
- Malibu 8'3"
- Egg 8'2"
The identical widths (22″⅝) and thicknesses (2″¾) are no coincidence – it’s because the two boards are compatible! Both shapes share the same central piece. This means you can swap the tail and nose to assemble two new surfboard profiles: an 8’3″ Malibu or an 8’2″ Egg.
You’ll be able to order spare parts to build new models from your original board purchase! This means you can expand your quiver without buying a completely new board each time.

The founders: Two engineers, two surfers!
The story behind the innovation
Surfing as a lifestyle? Yes, but without the hassle, please! That’s the mantra of Ewen and Hadrien, who’ve revived (and revolutionised) the concept of the detachable surfboard. Let us share their story. Ewen and Hadrien met during their mechanical engineering studies.
Sharing a common passion for surfing and travel, they quickly realised that transporting traditional surfboards was a real challenge. Their story took a turn when Ewen received a fine on a train because of his surfboard. This incident was the catalyst that drove them to create a practical solution: the detachable surfboard.
With a simple brief, they set about developing an innovative solution. The goal was to design a surfboard that fits in a rucksack, assembles in less than a minute, and retains all its performance. It took two years of research and development before Ewen and Hadrien arrived at a satisfactory solution.
Now, our two founders take their demountable board everywhere with them. They’ve embarked on numerous surf trips by train, bicycle, and even hitchhiking. Their demountable board has proven to be an ideal solution for passionate surfers who travel frequently. It combines performance and practicality while avoiding the hassles associated with transport. If you too want to travel with ease, follow their lead and join the Newave adventure.
