Ugly Duckling - New riverboard model from Semente

New board in the line-up – The Semente Riverseries Ugly Duckling 5'2"

The river wave has a new favorite toy. With the Ugly Duckling 5'2", Semente, in collaboration with Nick Uricchio, is launching an uncompromising river board – specially designed for riders who want to get the most out of flat, low-pressure waves like those in Bremgarten.

No mercy for weak waves

Flat, wide, short – the Ugly Duckling is exactly what you need when the wave doesn't push on its own. The proportions are reminiscent of a wakesurf board – but with features specifically tuned for river surfing.

Tech meets the essentials

What the board lacks in "classic beauty," it makes up for with performance. The wide, angular shape with super-thin, sharp rails ensures maximum control even with low water pressure. The tail is as wide as the wave allows – for maximum lift and direct response.

Special feature: There is a spoon between the fins, just like those seen on the nose area of old-school longboards. This little detail creates additional lift and ensures you stay in the sweet spot even during weak moments.

For those who want to see quick progress

The Ugly Duckling isn't a board for show-offs – it’s for surfers who want to hit the water and see results. No compromises, no unnecessary curves, no bells and whistles. Just a board that works.

Whether you’re working on your style in Bremgarten or landing your first spins – you’re well-equipped with the Ugly Duckling.
