5 June 2026 – Board Review: Tokoro 5’7 High-Performance Shortboard
This week’s Board Review features the Tokoro 5’7 Shortboard currently ridden by WSL Africa Champion Connor Slijpen.
Designed for high-performance surfing, the board features a narrow, refined nose combined with a responsive tail shape that delivers speed, drive, control, and precision in quality surf.
The Tokoro has become a trusted performance option for surfers seeking progressive surfing and maximum responsiveness in critical sections of the wave.
Connor also incorporates Smith Shapes Flatjack and V12 models into his quiver, allowing him to adapt to a wide variety of conditions.
Surfers interested in custom surfboards or performance equipment are welcome to visit Cape Town Surfing Shop at 11 Victoria Avenue, Hout Bay, where a range of stock and custom-order options are available.
