SIC Maui Pick Pocket Surfboard

The SIC Maui Pick Pocket is a performance funboard built for surfers who want to catch more waves without stepping onto something that feels slow, oversized or difficult to turn. It takes a Malibu-style outline and gives it a more responsive, pocket-friendly feel, making it a great choice for UK surf where waves are often softer, inconsistent and not always perfectly lined up.

This is the kind of board that makes a lot of sense if you are progressing from a longer board, want something easier to paddle than a true shortboard, or need one surfboard that can deal with a wide range of conditions. The generous forward outline helps you carry speed into waves early, while the rounded pin tail and extra tail rocker keep the board loose enough to turn with confidence once you are up and riding.

Where the Pick Pocket sits in the SIC Maui surf range

The Pick Pocket sits between easy wave-catching cruisers and more demanding shortboard shapes. It is not a pure beginner foamie and it is not a narrow high-performance shortboard. Instead, it gives you a practical middle ground: enough volume and paddle speed to increase your wave count, with a surfboard outline that still feels lively and rewarding on the face.

Choose the Pick Pocket if you want something more manoeuvrable than a longboard, easier to live with than a low-volume shortboard, and better suited to mixed UK conditions than a board that only works when the surf is clean and powerful.

Why choose the SIC Maui Pick Pocket?

• Great for surfers moving down from longboards or mini mals
• Wide forward outline helps you paddle in earlier and catch more waves
• Flatter mid-section gives useful stability underfoot
• Rounded pin tail and increased tail rocker help the board turn cleanly
• Works well in smaller, softer surf but still has enough shape for better days
• Multiple fin setup options let you tune the feel of the board
• Lightweight composite construction gives a more lively ride than a basic softboard

Which size should I choose?

The 7'0" is the most compact and responsive option, best suited to lighter riders or surfers who already have good take-off timing and want the Pick Pocket in its most manoeuvrable form.

The 7'4" is the natural middle size for many progressing surfers. It adds useful volume and paddle comfort while still feeling lively enough to turn and trim easily.

The 7'10" is the best choice if you want maximum wave count, easier paddling and a more forgiving feel, especially if you are coming down from a longboard or surfing softer waves more often.

FAQs

Is the SIC Maui Pick Pocket good for UK surf?

Yes. The Pick Pocket makes a lot of sense for UK conditions because it is designed to catch waves early, carry speed and still turn well. That is exactly what most surfers need when dealing with smaller, softer or less predictable beach-break waves.

Is the Pick Pocket a beginner surfboard?

It can suit confident beginners and progressing surfers, but it is not a basic learner foamie. It is best for someone who already has some surf experience or is stepping down from a larger board and wants something more responsive without losing too much stability.

Which size Pick Pocket should I buy?

As a simple guide, choose the 7'0" if you are lighter or want the most responsive feel, the 7'4" if you want the best all-round balance, and the 7'10" if you want easier paddling, more volume and maximum wave-catching help.

Are fins included with the SIC Maui Pick Pocket?

No. The Pick Pocket is supplied as the board only and fins are sold separately. This gives you the freedom to choose the fin setup that best suits your surfing, whether that is single fin, 2+1, thruster, quad or another compatible FCS II-style setup.

Can I use the Pick Pocket as a one-board quiver?

For many progressing surfers, yes. It has enough paddle speed and stability for everyday sessions, but enough tail shape and rocker to keep improving your turns. If you mainly surf very small, weak waves, a longer board may be easier. If you only surf powerful, clean waves, you may prefer something more shortboard-focused.

Can The SUP Company help me choose the right size?

Yes. If you are unsure between sizes, send us your height, weight, ability level and the sort of waves you normally surf. We can talk you through the most sensible option rather than leaving you to guess from volume alone.
