Pickup Stick Surfboard - FCS - 2+1 Fin

The Pickup Stick is the mid-sized board in the Pickup Stick series, designed to perfectly bridge the gap between a shortboard and a longboard. This updated performance version features a smooth, flowing outline with generous volume, making it easy to paddle and quick to catch waves.

The Shape

A narrower round pin tail adds extra control and hold, while the balanced rocker keeps the board fast and responsive. Chined rails provide a forgiving, catch-free feel while sharpening the rail edge, allowing for smoother transitions and more confident turning. The result is a mid-length that blends glide, speed and maneuverability into a highly versatile design.

Where It Works

The Pickup Stick is built to perform in a wide range of conditions. Its added volume and efficient shape make it excellent for catching waves early and generating speed in smaller surf, while the refined tail and rail design give it the control needed when the waves become more powerful.

From mellow beach breaks to clean point waves and everything in between, the 7’ Pickup Stick delivers dependable performance and versatility across a wide variety of conditions.

Why You’ll Love It

The Pickup Stick offers the perfect balance of paddle power, wave-catching ability and responsive performance. It delivers the glide and ease of a longer board while still allowing smooth turns and controlled rail work.

Built with Lib Tech’s advanced ECO IMPACTO 2 construction, the board is significantly tougher than traditional PU or epoxy boards. It resists dings, won’t absorb water if damaged, and is ideal for travel and everyday use—giving you more time surfing and less time worrying about repairs.

At the same time, Lib Tech’s environmentally conscious construction uses recycled materials, plant-based resins and a cleaner manufacturing process, creating a board that performs at a high level while reducing environmental impact.

Advanced Construction Technology

Lib Tech’s construction philosophy is “Technologically Tougher – Environmentally Nicer.” Years of experimentation with alternative materials have led to a surfboard that is stronger, lighter and built with a smaller environmental footprint.

Technologically Tougher

• Significantly tougher than traditional PU or epoxy boards

• Closed-cell foam construction won’t absorb water if damaged

• Built to handle travel and everyday wear

• Long-lasting, durable construction for more time in the water

Environmentally Nicer

• Plant-based Bio-Matrix resin with low VOC emissions

• Nitrogen-blown foam blanks with 25–40% recycled content

• Non-ozone depleting materials

• Reduced resin exposure and sanding during manufacturing

• Elimination of many traditional solvents, brushes and tapes

• Recycled foam offcuts used in new blanks

ECO IMPACTO 2 Construction

The Pickup Stick features Lib Tech’s ECO IMPACTO 2 technology, combining advanced materials for strength, durability and performance:

• Nitrogen Cell Eco Upcycled Foam – Lightweight, waterproof foam with recycled content and high compression strength

• Bio-Matrix Plant-Based Resin – Strong, resilient resin with low environmental impact

• Magnesium Fiber – High-impact strength with excellent rebound and memory

• G+ Glass Fiber – Lightweight reinforcement for improved strength and response

• Quad Axial G Glass Reinforced Rails – Multi-axis fiberglass reinforcement for added rail durability

• Hexylite Thermo-Fusion Honeycomb Power Panels – Ultra-light vibration dampening layer that increases impact resistance

Fin & Hardware System

• Lib Tech FOC-II® Fin Boxes – Compatible with FCS II®, FCS® two-tab and Lib RRIPs® fins

• Futures® Single Fin Box (8") – Designed to fit traditional single fins on the Pickup Stick mid-length models

• Lib Tech Leash Plug – Lightweight composite construction with strong aircraft-grade aluminum pins

The result is a board that is stronger, lighter, and built to last, delivering reliable performance while reducing environmental impact.
