Description

These things are so much fun to surf, the Almond R Series boards have landed. The R Series boards are a unique construction, blending the world of hard boards and soft boards together to produce boards that are amazing to surf, are super tough and can handle a wide range of conditions and all at a great price.

The Almond R Series surfboards are built from a high density epoxy based closed cell foam, this stuff is super tough and unlike standard foamies there are no glued seams, its one complete unit. These boards have the same fin boxes you find in high end boards and properly shaped rails. They are also 100% Recyclable. They feature a full deck grip so no wax is needed. People often worry about having a black surfboard, how it reacts to heat etc, the R Series boards are fine in the sun all day just don't leave them in locked car for hours on end when its 30 degrees!

The Pleasant Pheasant, (also known as the Plez Phez) model in this R Series tech is a take down of Almonds best seller in their main range, it carries the same DNA as the original shape which means you're going to catch heaps of waves and put a big smile on your face. The Pleasant Pheasant gives you the paddle power of a mid length but the performance and feel of a shorter board. It's a truly versatile shape that although carrying a fair bit of volume feels really lively in a wide range of conditions. As alterantive shapes go this is about as usabale as it gets.

We're over the moon to be able to bring the Almond surfboard range to surfers everywhere, we have surfed these boards and have had demos to narrow down the range and make sure these boards will work for our customers. We're more than happy to chat about these boards over the phone or via email and we can take your old board as a trade in against a new Almond, we also offer 0% finance.

Overview

Key features and details

What is the R-Series?

The "R-Series" by Almond is a high-performance soft top surfboard range made from durable, high-density closed-cell foam. It features authentic universal fin boxes, rounded surfboard rails, and a no-wax-needed deck pad. Plus, it's 100% recyclable from nose to fin.

The R-Series Pleasant Pheasant Overview

The 6'4 Pleasant Pheasant is ideally suited for surfers who want the added foam of a mid-length, but still want the ability to explore the face of the wave. In terms of length and volume, the 6'4 Pleasant Pheasant (Plez Phez for short) splits the difference between the 5'4 MENU and the 8'0 JOY.

Pleasant pheasant 6’4”
Had my eye on this for a while bought it to surf lost shore after damage my favourite board a couple of times wish I hadn’t waited so long to pull the trigger as I was unsure about the construction but it is a solid board and looks great it paddles like a longboard catches waves with minimal effort and still easy to turn had a great surf can’t wait to get it back in the water. This is my third board from board shop was great to get some reassurance from the guys before buying and it arrived the next day with no problems.

Really wanted this Owen Wave graphic and had it shipped to Santa Barbara. Shipping was quick and efficient, less that a week. Board was packed quite securely and arrived in perfect condition. Thanks for the great Customer Service!

Fab travel board - but wear a wetsuit!
So I bought the Almond R-Series Pleasant Pheasant 6’4” for my most recent summer trip, basically because I wanted a board that wouldn’t die the second a French baggage handler got creative with physics. I wanted a travel-hardy version of my 7’0” OBE Phipps Mid Length.

Durability:
According to Boardshop, you could “drill a hole in it and it wouldn’t leak.” Challenge not accepted, but I did watch a Bordeaux baggage handler lob my onto my boardbag onto a trolley then chuck other bags on top! I might have cried, but the board emerged unscathed. Tick one.

Practicality:
At 6’4”, it fits in a French hire car without needing a soft rack. Mal volume, mini length. Tick two.

Surfability:
Took it to Hossegor and Mimizan in Landes. Handled everything from knee high, to La Nord barrels (which punched me in the ego). Paddles great, smooth down the line, but 50L is way too much for my 70kg self in hollower waves. Still, lots of fun. Tick three (with a * on hollow days).

Looks & Features:
Black, sleek, and low-maintenance. Doesn’t melt in the sun and doesn’t need wax. Good grip. Fins are fine, and swapping out the center fin added some spice. Tick four.

Downsides?
Ever wanted to be exfoliated by your surfboard? After a couple of sessions, the deck and rails feel like they are made of industrial-grade cheesegrater foam. By day 10 I had knees like a cheese pizza and arms that looked like I’d wrestled a sandpaper-wielding octopus. Ended up buying a wetsuit despite 23°C water—tick minus one (and a long stare from coworkers back home).

Final Verdict:
The Pleasant Pheasant is built like a tank but surfs pretty well. Great for travel, great for fun, but bring neoprene unless you want to explain your surf injuries like you moonlight as a medieval jouster.

Great board!
Bought this along with the thump for lost shore to abuse them and not worry about them. So much fun I’ll be using down the coast too! A little heavier than expected but hopefully built to last. Surf almost as good as normal boards so unless you’re pushing performance levels don’t be put off.
Usual excellent service from boardshop!

Great advice and board
As always, great advice and board from the crew at Boardshop. The Pleasant Pheasant is a great summer board, have taken it out in 2ft windswept junk and it still puts a smile on my face - looking forward to trying it in better conditions. Fantastic!
