Longerboards
Length 8’0”-10’6”
Anyone that knows me for my style of shapes knows that I’m not renowned for building that many longboards apart from The Glider and The Longfish, but I have built a variety of nice performance longboards over the years and also incorporate my shorter board aspects into a range of Mini Logs that have been really popular.
I recently designed and built a few in the 8 foot region for Louis Campbell a great alternative shape shredder from Perranporth.
The boards have a full Longboard planshape, roundtail or rounded squash tail with a long drawn out single concave, more designed to glide into waves really easily rather than for nose riding, although they nose ride great. It then blends really subtly into a rolled vee through the back half of the board. I took the concept off of the Vert Twin and it works insane.
A lowish nose rocker with high tail rocker through the back third of the board. This thing turns on a dime with quick direction changes.
The fins set up as a Single with Side Bites or just a straight Single Fin.
Also a great alternative longer board for girls and women as we’ve proved by making it slightly narrower, thinner and lighter for ease of carrying, and found this works really well.
A dream paddler and wave catcher that’s super sun, especially in summer.
I’ve also recently designed and built a single concave version with a single concave all the way through the bottom and out through the tail, with a rolled chine on the bottom rail. This board’s still in the R&D stages with great feedback so far.
