The Shwack Beach Grill in Dana Point has taken “surf and turf” dining to the extreme.

Its new $600 Surfboard and Burger Combo includes a hamburger with up 10 patties, unlimited fries and a custom-designed board from Nation Surfboard in San Clemente.

“They pick up the board, get a burger and some fries and do a photo shoot. It’s a great gift,” said Max Fisher, owner of The Shwack.

Fisher, who hits the waves at least three times a week himself, conceived the combo meal to help promote his friend and board shaper Ryan Engle, owner of Nation Surfboard. They grew up together, and Engle is one of The Shwack’s best customers.

“We love The Shwack and are very stoked to have Nation Surfboards involved in the combo of all combos,” Engle said.

Engle will shape each shortboard individually, down to the color and the cut of the fins.

“It’s about getting someone their dream board,” Fisher said.

Fisher said just four people have ordered the combo so far. The pricey new menu entry is a drastic departure from the restaurant’s other offerings, most of which are sub-$15 combos featuring burgers and other sandwiches.

The Surfboard and Burger Combo melds both of Fisher’s biggest interests. He grew up surfing and became a contractor to earn a living. His restaurant is named after a surf move and riffs on the word “shack.” It is his first foray into the dining business.

“The next best thing to being a pro surfer is owning a surf-town beach shack,” Fisher said.
