66 x 21 x 2.8" / 39 Liters

The world's first surfboard with integrated magnetic shark deterrent technology. The perfect board for kids to learn to progress at surfing on--safe and it surfs great. New for 2026, this is our 3rd generation of the original "Albert" model that started it all for Rock-It Surf.

• Patented SHARKGUARD Magnetic Shark Deterrent
• Fish tail shape with low profile rails
• 3x fins included (performance fin box system)
• UV resistant deck (wax not required)
• For riders up to 175lbs
• Rock-It Zebra Striped Sea Camo HDPE bottom slick

Perfect for kids in the 6-12 age range who are learning to surf, the Alberto is a versatile shortboard "fish tail" design with as much volume as a large fiberglass shortboard, yet in a size that's easier for them to carry to the water, paddle out through the breakers and into the waves. The shape and performance fin setup will help your child progress to becoming a better surfer faster than competing soft tops.

SHARKGUARD

Six epoxy coated specialized magnets are imbedded into the foam beneath the HDPE slick bottom of the board, projecting a magnetic field into the water around the board rider. This is a known and effective shark deterrent. The magnetic field overwhelms a shark's sensory electroreceptor system and causes discomfort in the animal. No harm is done to the shark. No batteries or recharging are required. Visit https://www./pages/sharkguard-bodyboard for more details, links to testing videos, peer reviewed scientific tests and more.

SEA-CAMO ZEBRA STRIPED BOTTOM

In addition to the patented SHARKGUARD technology, we add a visual deterrent to our boards as well. In 2013 a University of Western Australia neurobiologist conducted research that indicated a zebra striped pattern was a deterrence to sharks & presented their results in a Ted Talk. The patterns disperse the sharks ability to identify the item, and mimic non-food source items in their environment.

CONSTRUCTION

The Rock-It ALBERTO with SHARKGUARD is made with quality construction and environmentally sensitive processes. Three marine wooden stringers are coated with an epoxy nano-coating to resist water absorption, then surrounded with a proprietary EPS foam and a color-fast & UV resistant soft top layer. The soft top has a wide texture and doesn't require wax, although wax will improve grip.

The entire board is heat laminated with no harmful dyes, glues, resins or toxins in the production process, and manufactured in a facility that uses collected rainwater. All materials used are recyclable. All Rock-It surfboards come with a one year warranty against manufacturing defects.

Please note that we do not guarantee SHARKGUARD works equally across all shark species and that all interactions with sharks will be avoided. Read all disclosures below.

SharkGuard Reduces Risk But DoesNotEliminate It

• SharkGuard is a shark deterrent that helpsreduce the riskof unwanted shark interactions, but wedo not guarantee complete protectionor prevention of all shark encounters. There isno guarantee of zero shark interactionswith the device.
• Ambush attacks from large predatory species will not be deterred by SharkGuard.

Magnetic Field & Medical Devices

• Because SharkGuard uses strong magnets,people withpacemakers, defibrillators, or other implanted medical devices should not attempt to handle or ride a board containing SharkGuard technologywithout consulting a doctor.
• These magnets can alsodisrupt sensitive electronics(e.g., hard drives, credit cards, cell phones) if placed too close (recommended at least ~12 inches/30 cm away).

Care Tip: when not in the water, keep the soft-top out of direct sunlight.
