Big Mac – The One-Board Quiver
America’s number one seller for a reason, the Big Mac is the ultimate high-performance shortboard designed to cater to a wide range of surfers. Whether stepping down from a bigger board or stepping up from a traditional shortboard, the Big Mac delivers a ride that paddles long, turns sharp, and works in any conditions.
Performance Without Compromise
Designed to be user-friendly on the paddle while still performing like a true shortboard, the Big Mac was developed to bridge the gap between easy wave entry and high-performance surfing. Unlike needle-nose, pulled-in tail designs, the wider tail block and fuller nose create a balanced, forgiving feel without sacrificing control in the pocket.
The single-to-double concave bottom mirrors the best performance shortboards on the market, while the flatter rocker profile ensures speed through all sections. Just enough entry rocker prevents catching in critical sections, keeping the board responsive and fast. Whether on a surf trip or a daily session at your local break, the Big Mac is built for all conditions.
Why You’ll Love It:
- High-Performance Meets Paddle Power – Added volume for easy wave-catching without losing shortboard responsiveness.
- Speed Without Sacrifice – A refined rocker and high-performance bottom contour keep it fast and lively.
- Versatile & Travel-Friendly – Designed to handle everything from beach breaks to point breaks, making it the perfect one-board quiver.
- Modern Hybrid Performance – A balance of power, drive, and agility, built for surfers looking to maximize their wave count without feeling restricted.
For surfers looking for a shortboard that still delivers paddle power, speed, and control, the Big Mac is the perfect choice. It’s ideal for those who want to rip with the younger guys, catch more waves, and enjoy every session without compromise.

About Bilt Surfboards – The ‘Only 3’ Philosophy
Bilt Surfboards was founded on a simple question: If a surfer could only buy three more boards in their lifetime, what would they be?
Over the past five years, the surf industry has become like fast fashion—constantly chasing trends and overcomplicating what should be simple. Surfing is meant to be fun. It’s not about reinventing the wheel; it’s about designing boards that work—boards that maximize time in the water and the enjoyment of every session.
The idea for the "Only 3" concept was born on a surf trip to Mexico. California had been flat for months, and when a long-awaited swell finally appeared, a last-minute invite led to a frantic scramble for the perfect quiver. The trip ended up being 1-2 foot for an entire week, leaving a bag full of useless boards. That experience sparked a realization—why carry a dozen boards when just three well-designed shapes could handle anything from Malibu to Cloudbreak?
So, Bilt refined it down to the essentials:
✅ A shortboard – refined from Bilt’s original Spit Fire, with added volume, a round tail, and a flatter entry rocker, now known as the Big Mac.
✅ A fish – originally the BW Fish, designed over 20 years ago to help transition off longboards while keeping paddle power. It was modernized and reborn as the Whopper Extra Cheese.
✅ A mid-length – built from the best designs across the industry and tested at J-Bay, earning its name as the Double Double after proving itself on the first wave.
The Bilt Surfboards Design Philosophy
🌊 Foam is Your Friend – More volume doesn’t mean poor performance. Speed equals maneuverability, and the right rail line and curve make it possible to ride more waves and have more fun.
🚀 Speed is Everything – The key to keeping you in the water, especially on those poor-to-fair days, is a board that flies in all conditions.
🏄♂️ Surf More, Train Less – The best way to improve is to ride more waves, not take surf fitness classes. A board with a bit more volume will get you into waves sooner and let you surf longer.
At Bilt, the goal is to make high-performance, fun-first boards that paddle long and surf short. Every design is built for speed, ease, and versatility—so you spend less time worrying about what board to ride and more time riding waves.
