The BF Surfer Custom is a full-sized, vintage van featured in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the Los Santos Drug Wars update.
Design[]
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
The Surfer Custom is a highly modifiable variant of the Surfer, sharing the overall design and interior. However, it features fully-functional sliding doors for the rear-passengers, and as such also includes two additional seats in the back. The rear of the vehicle remains mostly unchanged, but the engine compartment is larger and bears a fully-modelled engine.
In some naturally-spawned instances including the missions, the vehicle may spawn with an opened windscreen that is fixed in place with two struts, or just closed windscreen with black/plastic wipers like its original counterpart; however, it will always include both types of them when purchased from the retailers.
Color distribution is the same as the clean variant of the base model; the stripes on the front end and the sides, the cabin area, the door hinges and the engine bay are painted with the primary colour, while the body is painted with the secondary colour. It also shares the same wheel design, being five-spoke aftermarket rims with similar details to the "Muscle Freak" Muscle wheel available in Los Santos Customs and other mod shops, wrapped in low-profile tyres.

Performance[]
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
The Surfer Custom is identical to the regular version in terms of performance, as it is very slow due to its small engine. However, acceleration is not that bad, and handling is average, but overall, it is sluggish and is not a good choice for pursuits due to its weak resistance against heavy collisions and struggles to evade cars that gets in the way.
The Surfer Custom has a single-cam carburetored V8 engine on the rear that powers the rear wheels through a 4-speed gearbox. The engine sound is the same used on the Injection and the Dune Buggy, although it does not rev as high as the aforementioned vehicles, likely due to the limited engine power.
While the "Ladder" modifications are technically spoilers, they do not offer increased traction due to a flag that prevents this change. [1]

Trivia[]
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
- The Surfer Custom was initially cut from the game with the Los Santos Summer Special update.
- "The Mothership" livery is based on The Truth's van of the same name in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
- The "Peace and Love" livery is based on the Love Wagon in Grand Theft Auto.
- The "Rusty Sunset" livery, which appears to feature the side profile of an Injection, references the "That's About The Size of It" VW Bus advertisement from 1963 that uses a painted side profile of a VW Bettle to promote the van's larger size and carrying capacity.
- The default radio station for the Surfer Custom is Blue Ark.
- Installing a rear-mounted ladder option disables the rear compartment doors.
Oversights[]
- Any player-owned Surfer Custom is spawned with both raised and lowered windshield extras forced on at the same time.
