Crazy B

The Mark Phipps Crazy B is a modern homage to a beautifully preserved 1970s single fin—an original gem owned by Ben, who wanted to protect the board’s legacy while still enjoying its unique feel in the water. To preserve the original, Phipps crafted a faithful replica, capturing the authentic curves, flowing lines, and soulful character of the era. What began as a pure single-fin reproduction later evolved when Ben added side fin plugs, giving the Crazy B a versatile, modern twist while honoring its roots.

At its core, the Crazy B carries all the charm of a classic: a clean, drawn-out outline, a mellow rocker profile, and a smooth, continuous bottom contour that delivers timeless glide. It paddles effortlessly, trims with style, and projects down the line with that unmistakable single-fin flow. Yet the addition of optional side fins introduces a fresh dimension—enhanced hold, quicker transitions, and added control when the waves get punchy or when the rider wants to push the board a little harder.

The Crazy B celebrates tradition while embracing subtle modern refinement. It’s a board for surfers who appreciate heritage design, effortless speed, and stylish lines, but also want the flexibility to adapt their ride. Authentic, versatile, and full of character, it’s a true tribute to classic surfcraft brought into the present.
