Ballistic Bodyboards started making 100$ hand crafted boards in Hawaii using the best materials. We create, never imitate. With over 20 years of combined shaping experience Ballistic started shaping bodyboards in 1996 and have worked with the originators of the sport. Shaping for and working together with bodyboarding legend….Jack Lindholm. Jack was the first to be featured in surfer magazine in the 1970’s, before bodyboarding even existed as a sport. We have worked closely with a many old school professionals, Mike Roth, Hoptong Smith, Chado Militante, Jimmy Hutaff, Kaui Kauhi, Noah Spencer, Eugene Teixera as well as some of the best professionals and underground bodyboarders and surfers. Over 20 years experience allows Ballistic to bring to you the best wave riding products available. Our motto: Performance Driven, Quality Proven…. means… The longer we can keep you satisfied in the water without having to buy another board, the better. Our riders can ride their Ballistic boards for almost a few seasons and sometimes years before they need a new Ballistic. The real amazing thing is, riders that surf with Ballistic rip harder then most! Spock em out.

We are just a bunch of bodyboarders/ surfers wave riders that enjoy the ocean probably just as much if not more than the competition so we like our boards to work and last a long time. Once you dial into a magic surfboard or bodyboard or hand board etc, you do not like to have to part ways with your board. We like to think that the board becomes an extension of you in the water to help express yourself on the waves.
Expressing ourselves through our boards with style. Getballistic. Make trends, don’t follow them. Create, never imitate. and always be driven for performance and quality.
Thank you for being a part of the team.
Getballistic Team.
