Double Double – The Ultimate Mid-Length
A mid-length that delivers performance, paddle power, and pure fun, the Double Double is a refined take on a timeless design. Originally called the BW Mid, this board has been fine-tuned for over 20 years to strike the perfect balance between length and maneuverability. It paddles long, surfs fast, and catches everything in sight.
Performance-Driven Simplicity
The Double Double features a 16th-inch concave running nose to tail, designed to enhance speed and control. The flattened central rocker keeps momentum flowing, while the evenly distributed thickness ensures a balanced ride. The volume extends from tail to nose, maintaining a full yet streamlined shape that glides effortlessly while still allowing for stylish, clean lines.
A pulled-in round tail and subtle V-bottom contour allow for smooth rail-to-rail transitions, keeping the board nimble despite its added length. This combination makes the Double Double ideal for surfers looking to maximize wave count without sacrificing performance.

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.
