Longboards

High Performance

High performance long boards are thin and sensitive with low soft rails and slight nose concave. A highly maneuverable long board with short board qualities and nose riding capabilities. Double barrel with a squash or round pin tail.

Nose Rider

Has a wide nose with deep concave and extra tail rocker for tight turns and long hangtime. Beveled nose rails on each side of the concave are forgiving and allow climbing and dropping while trimming on the nose.

Speed Shape

Designed for down the line power surfing. The extended vee panel and tucked under rail edges make it quick and responsive. Pulled in nose and tail. Usually a round pin or baby squash tail.

Mini Longboard

For the young and light weight surfer who want to ride with the longboard style. Proportionately designed for the 75 to 135lb. grom. Flat nose rocker for ease of paddling. 6'2" - 6'10".

 

Fun Boards

Fun board

A cross between a long board and a short board. Paddling power of a long board, yet retaining the performance qualities of a short board. An “easy rider” for all occasions. Full outline. 6’4 - 7’10”.

Mini Fun Board

This mini fun board is ideal for kids. I shaped this board for my daughter of 7 yeards old. It offers easy paddling, stability and it is easy to carry. 5'10" - 6’6”.

Fun Gun

Pulled in version of the Fun Board for big hollow days. Narrower tail holds you in on the steep take offs and hollow sections. High performance gun rocker. 6’8”-8’6"

Fin Set-ups

Tri Fin (longboard):

Bottom shape: Flat with vee beginning back 1/3 and peak between fins and flat behind rear fin. The final sweep off the tail rocker beginning at 22” up from tail to create a sweet spot for turning. Double barrel between fins for speed.

Rails: Thin with a flatter deck which allows the volume to be brought out to the rails or a mild dome with tapered soft rail. The bottom edges are tucked under and softened like a standard issue 6’2”.

Tail shape: Round squash or round pin. The outline accelerating in synergy with fin placement.

Foil: Foiled out like a short board. Thin to thick to thin meant to be driven and turned rather than trimmed, so the nose and tail taper to reduce bulk and corkiness which shortens turning reaction time.

2+1 fin set up (longboard)

Tail and nose rocker: Noserider will have a flatter nose with a kicked up tail 4-1/2”. The performance board has an accelerated nose lift and 3-5/8” tail lift.

Bottom shape: More rolled vee rail to rail exetending further up than the tri fin. Gives the board a softer, natural feel. Allowing turns from the forward position. Double barrel between the fins.

Rails: Same as tri fin set up but hard edge only after the fins.

Tail shape: Squash or round pins is slightly pulled after 12” to compensate for the large single fin.

Foil: Same as the tri fin set up.
