The SurfCo Hawaii Jumbo Nose Guard is built to protect the nose of stand-up paddleboards and larger longboards from everyday bumps, dings, and impact damage. Designed specifically for boards with fuller nose shapes, it adds a shock-absorbing layer of protection without getting in the way of the way your board rides.
Extra Protection for SUPs and Full-Nose Longboards
Bigger boards are more likely to get bumped into walls, cars, racks, docks, and other hard surfaces simply because there is more board to manage. The Jumbo Nose Guard helps protect one of the most vulnerable areas of the board so minor impacts are less likely to turn into costly repairs.

Who Should Use the Jumbo Nose Guard?
This version is best suited to SUPs, oversized longboards, and other boards with thick, full nose shapes. If your board has a noticeably chunky nose, this is the version designed to provide the coverage and fit you need.
For thinner longboard noses, SurfCo recommends using its standard Longboard Nose Guard instead.
Why Add a Nose Guard?
The nose of a surfboard or SUP often takes damage during transport and handling rather than while surfing. A nose guard adds a layer of protection at that contact point and can help reduce the chance of small bumps turning into cracks, chips, or water-entry repairs.
Rider Shack Note
Buying your SurfCo Hawaii Jumbo Nose Guard from Rider Shack supports a small business and core surf shop run by surfers. A simple nose guard can be a worthwhile upgrade on a larger board, especially if you transport it often or want to reduce the chance of preventable ding repairs.
