The Ugly Limited Edition

The Ugly Limited Edition is a replica of the original shape built with all wood as a Classic Longboard NoseRider
Hand Crafted in the USA

The Ugly Limited Edition (LE) 1966 Bob Purvey Design has a limit of 250 custom The Ugly models with a Balsa wood core and laminates of any combination of woods to give it the classic look.  The composition of wood is limited only by your own imagination.  Each unique hand shape is the original The Ugly from 1966. Each has a number and comes with a certificate of authenticity, signed by Bob Purvey.

It was 1966, when The Ugly grabbed the world’s attention with its unique wide blunt nose shape.  Check out Legend of the Ugly for the complete story.  The Ugly was principally designed to get the longest nose rides for the pro noseriding contest.  Bob proved The Ugly’s capabilities when he won the Morey-Pope Pro Invitational (noseriding division), one of the first professional surf contests in the history of the sport.

Since then, The Ugly became the standard bearer for noserider designs and publicized as the “Ultimate Noserider.”

The Ugly LE features a wood spreader to widen the nose, a deep concave one-third of the board’s overall length to make the nose float higher, a kicked up tail for hold, soft 50/50 rails, wood nose and tail blocks, a glassed on wood fin, volan glass and double rapped rails for durability. All in a high gloss polished finish.  Plus, it ages well.
