Longboards – 8’6” to 10′+

The emergence of this 60′s board has put a lot of surfers back in the water, catching more waves and having fun again. Having the knowledge of shaping from the 1960′s to the 2000′s and applying all this time in the shaping booth the modern Longboard is in a class of its own. With added performance and lighter than its predecessor, it is a functional piece of surfing equipment. With precise modern rockers, rails, and fin placement more & more surfers are returning to this fun riding Longboard.

HIGH PERFORMANCE MODELS Specs:
Length: 8’6” to 9’6”
Width: 21” to 22½ ”
Thickness: 2½” to 3”

Slightly more nose rocker (lift) for late take-offs and a little less nose area (width) around 17” at 12” from nose tip complete this high performance Longboard.

THE ALL ROUNDER Specs:
Length: 9′ to 9’6”
Width: 22½” to 23”
Thickness: 2¾” to 31/8”

Slightly less nose rocker for those nose rides the all rounder will perform all manoeuvres in all conditions.

THE NOSERIDER Specs:
Length: 9′ to 10′ +
Widths: 22½” to 23½”
Thickness: 3” to 3¼”

These boards traditionally have a wider, concave nose, a flatter rocker and a wider tail with extra tail lift, allowing the board to stall while riding the nose.
