At 7'11", this board sits in a sweet spot between a mid-length and a full longboard. The length provides plenty of glide and paddle power for smaller days, while the retro hull design keeps it responsive enough to handle turns without feeling like a massive log.

It is a true all-rounder. While it shines in fun, small-wave environments, the rolled bottom and vee tail allow it to handle larger, sloppier surf and long point breaks with surprising stability.

The single fin box is essential to the board's classic feel. It encourages a smoother, more drawn-out style of surfing, rewarding clean lines and flow rather than the quick, snappy turns you might get with a thruster setup.

The rolled bottom helps the board displace water smoothly, which creates a stable, forgiving ride. As that transitions into a vee out the tail, it makes it much easier to roll the board from rail to rail, giving you better control during turns.

While the stability of the rolled bottom makes it approachable, this board is designed with a specific retro aesthetic and performance profile that intermediate to advanced surfers will appreciate more. Beginners might find the single-fin tracking a bit challenging until they get used to the board's momentum.
