The 7'6" Mini Mal is the quiet achiever of any quiver, a smooth, confidence-building shape that blends classic glide with everyday versatility.
With its generous outline and 56.53 litres of volume, it paddles like a dream, helping you catch waves early and often, whether you're still refining your timing or just want to maximise your session.
Its fuller nose and balanced mid-length proportions provide a stable platform underfoot, while the refined rails keep things responsive when it's time to turn.
From trimming clean lines on mellow rollers to drawing longer, more controlled arcs on steeper faces, this board delivers a calm, predictable ride without feeling sluggish. It's the ideal step-up from a soft-top or longboard alternative for progressing surfers, yet still holds enough performance for more experienced riders chasing easy speed and flow. Reliable, forgiving, and endlessly fun, this is the board you reach for when you just want to enjoy surfing.
Available in Bottle Green, Sky Blue or Duck Egg.
The Heritage Mini Mal comes fitted with FCS II finboxes as standard — the tool-free system used by more surfers worldwide than any other. Fins are sold separately.
There's no shortage of FCS II fins on the market, and the choice can be overwhelming. The options on the right aren't generic suggestions — they're hand-picked by us based on our knowledge of this board, how it's shaped, and how it performs in the water. If you want our honest recommendation for what works best with this particular shape, these are it.
Step back in time without sacrificing the tech. Our Heritage range is a tribute to the golden era of surfing, using modernised shapes by the legendary Jeff Townsley, the founder of Circle One and an OG of the British shaping scene since the 70s.
These boards feature a Premium Epoxy Resin Tint finish. This traditional technique creates a deep, vibrant, and translucent colour that is "in" the resin, not just painted on. Because each board is hand-laminated and hand-finished, the tint creates unique colours and sometimes patterns, ensuring your board is a one-of-a-kind work of art. Combined with modern FCS II fin boxes (the most versatile system on the market), these boards offer vintage soul, wave catching ease combined with the reliability and performance of today's best materials.

The Heritage Mini Mal is designed to work across a wide range of everyday conditions — from knee-high beach break to overhead surf. Its volume and width mean it paddles into waves early and easily, which makes it particularly effective in smaller or slower surf where wave count matters. It handles cleaner, more powerful waves well too, where the refined rails and bottom contour allow for more controlled, drawn-out turns. In the kind of conditions most UK surfers encounter day-to-day, it's hard to beat.
Yes — the 7' 6" is one of the most popular lengths for surfers making the step from a soft-top to a hard board. The volume and width make it stable and easy to paddle, and the forgiving outline gives you plenty of room to build confidence. It's also a board you won't outgrow quickly — as your surfing improves, the Mini Mal rewards better technique with a more engaging, responsive ride.
A longboard is typically 9ft or over, with a style of surfing focused on slow, drawn-out turns, cross-stepping, and nose-riding. A Mini Mal takes the key benefits of a longboard — paddle power, stability, wave-catching ability — and packages them into a shorter, more manageable shape that's easier to transport, easier to turn, and more versatile across different wave types. The Heritage Mini Mal at 7' 6" sits right in that sweet spot between the two.
The Heritage Mini Mal comes in at 56.53 litres, suited to a wide range of surfer weights and abilities. As a general guide, beginners typically benefit from volume at around 100–120% of their body weight in kilograms, while more experienced surfers can ride lower volumes comfortably. If you're transitioning from a soft-top or a longer board, this volume will feel manageable and confidence-inspiring from the first session. If you're unsure, get in touch and we'll help you work it out.
We've hand-picked specific FCS II fin options for the Heritage Mini Mal based on our knowledge of how this board is shaped and how it performs. There's a wide range of FCS II fins available, but our recommendations represent what we genuinely believe works best with this particular shape. You'll find them via the fin upgrade buttons above — a standard option and a premium option depending on your preference and budget. If you'd like further guidance, feel free to get in touch.
A Mini Mal — short for Mini Malibu — is a mid-length surfboard typically between 7ft and 8' 6", designed to combine the paddle power and stability of a longboard with a more manageable, manoeuvrable shape. The name comes from the classic Malibu longboards popularised in California in the 1960s. Mini Mals have a wide nose, generous volume, and a rounded outline that makes them forgiving and easy to surf — which is why they remain one of the most popular board types worldwide for surfers at all levels.
