A disengageable surfboard that starts out as a long, paddle-sized board that a surfer uses, either in the standard prone position or standing with a paddle, to enter the surf. Once the surfer has used the board to catch a wave, he or she quickly releases the back portion of the board, typically made of a soft foam, through a quick move of his or her foot, leaving the surfer with a smaller, higher performance surfboard that would have been initially difficult for the surfer to catch without the extra length afforded through the disengaged piece.
