The second generation Aussie II improved upon the original with the addition of contoured wingers and crescent tail. Both the Aussie and Aussie II were branded with the "Aussie" logo, but the Aussie II can be identified by its full scale length (41"). As one of the most common boards for beginners, the Aussie II was always a great source of embarrassment for bodyboarders hoping to progress to better equipment. Insults of "What kind of board do you have, an Aussie?" were commonplace in the late 1980s. Like other low-end models, the Aussie II lacked a bottom skin.
