Why Riders Choose It
The Longboard SUP delivers performance nose riding, fast trimming and controlled carving — all in one shape. Whether you're cross-stepping to the nose or driving hard off the tail, the design blends classic longboard flow with modern responsiveness.
Key Features
Winning Shape
A refined rocker and bottom design give the board a fast but forgiving feel. The updated nose outline reduces swing weight, allowing faster and smoother transitions during turns without compromising stability when nose riding.
Thin Performance Rails
Ultra-thin rails define the high-performance personality of this board.
-
Thinner rails in the nose help hold the pocket when riding forward on the board
-
Tapered rails through the midsection improve sensitivity
-
Sharper rails at the tail require less pressure to pivot and carve
Optimised Rocker Profile
A moderate nose kick prevents the rail catching on steeper sections but still carries speed when perched on the nose. A refined tail kick releases the board for tight pivot turns, vertical surfing and quicker rotation.
Refined Bottom Shape
The bottom features a slight single concave under the nose for speed and lift while nose riding, transitioning into a double concave for smooth rail-to-rail flow, finishing with a vee through the tail to unlock snappier turns.
Slight Domed Deck
Volume is prioritised in the centre line to maintain stability while keeping the rails thin for performance. The standing area remains relatively flat for comfort and balance.
5–Degree Surf Fin System
A unique fin angle delivers a playful feel with solid forward drive and control. This setup provides a blend of speed, hold and manoeuvrability, tuned specifically for progressive longboard SUP surfing.
Blue Carbon construction includes pre-preg carbon fin sets.
Limited Series models include Armacore fins.
