Torq Tec The Don - 9'6"
Modern longboarding has a variety of skill and style that is hard to compare in any other sport. Depending on the surfer, or the wave, or the board, it can be a dance or a martial art. It can be light footed poise or powerful drive, straight line trim or vertical snaps, nose rides or carves. A true modern high performance longboard has to be capable of all of these things.
The Don is stable on the nose, straight and fast through the middle and lively in the tail. The Don XL is higher volumed version of the Don for heavier surfers, slightly more nose oriented to enable more stable nose riding, but still super responsive in the tail. The added advantage of the Torq TEC construction; lightweight, strong and super responsive makes the wide repertoire of moves easier and more dynamic.

NSP Shapers Union Pro 9'1"
The NSP Pro-9 is designed by Carl Schaper as a performance longboard, and it is Bonga Perkins’ favorite all-around board. For over 20 years now, former 2-time World Champion Bonga has been riding slight variations of this shape. The most significant improvement is in the Pro-9’s nose riding capability.
The Pro-9, designed as a single fin or quad fin set-up, is a low-volume, extremely high-performance longboard, capable of doing it all with tons of maneuvering and solid nose-riding.The 4oz fin patch, a 6mm wood stringer, bottom carbon stringer and carbon-reinforced tail, give you a durable longboard with great flex and performance, that feels light and responsive.
The consistent feedback is that this board comes together in powerful swell, where bigger riders like to roam and use their strength and weight to full effect. Think serious speed from a longboard.
Bottom: Soft roll to mid-V to V to double concave
Rider: Intermediate – pro
Wave Type: All conditionsShape:
The Pro-9 is a longboard with as much shortboard crammed into it as possible. Carl Schaper will often point out the back-third of the board, as it fits almost perfectly on his 6’2 step up, with the same thickness, tail dimensions and rails. The bottom has a soft roll to V in the middle, running into V with a double concave in the tail. Designed as a single fin or quad fin set-up, the Pro-9 is a low-volume, extremely high-performance longboard, capable of doing it all with tons of maneuvering and solid nose-riding!Fin Set-up:
The Pro-9 comes in a 4+1 fin configuration enabling you to be creative in your setup as a quad or thruster. NSP positioned the Surf 10 fin box slightly further back, to make it available for a thruster setup. The Pro-9 comes with FTU fin boxes, making it compatible with Futures® Fins (fins not included).Length Width Thickness Volume Weight +/- 5% 9'1" 22" 2 3/4"

Walden Magic Wahine Fusion HD - 8'0"
Walden Surfboards was the first company to design an entire line of surfboards just for women called Walden Wahine, they didn't just add a token pink surfboard to the existing men's line but rather they created an entire range of surfboards for the full range of women surfers. We slimmed out the dimensions and made a slightly narrower Magic Model, we kept all the performance but sized the boards especially for women...oh yeah, and made them really beautiful.
About out Magic Model:
The Magic Model is the original modern longboard, an all around performance surfboard and nose rider. The Magic Model is designed for all wave heights and all skill levels, just as fun in small surf as it is in big surf. The Magic Model hull has a unique design, so unique it has a patent. Starting at the nose the hull has a single concave that transitions into a double concave about midway through the board and ends towards the tail forming a moderate “V” for fluid rail to rail transitions. The Magic Model rails have a hard edge from nose to tail, unlike round railed boards which push through water and allow water to wrap around the board slowing it down, the Magic's hard rails glide on top the water creating a sensitivity and quickness that makes the board fast and easy to turn. What this all means...the concave at the nose adds lift and stability, perfect for nose riding. The double con-caved hull and hard rails make the board fast, stable, responsive and maneuverable in all conditions.

Torq Tec Delpero Classic Model - 9'2"
EDOUARD DELPERO CLASSIC
CROSS STEP WITH GRACE, TURN WITH EASE.
Alain Minvielle has extensive shaping experience in California and a fine appreciation for the flow and glide of the classic style. With Edouard’s input they have created a Classic shape inspired by the classic 60’s model of Longboarding (no edge) while adding some more modern bottom line to find the perfect cruiser with surprising manœuvrability.
The critical part of this design is in the rocker and volume distribution - the curve of the rocker will allow you to maintain noserides in the pocket while gliding in small conditions as much as in larger waves. Finally the unique distribution of volume through the board, from a thick nose to a thin tail, will allow you to cross step with grace and turn with ease.

Torq Tec Delpero Pro Model - 9'1
EDOUARD DELPERO PRO
SMOOTH PROGRESSIVE LINES AND CRITICAL NOSERIDES

Edouard and Alain worked on that shape to find the perfect balance of modern and classic surfing on a Longboard.The aggressive outline and rocker will allow you to manœuvre the board at your highest potential while the lift will allow you to hold noserides in critical sections of the waves.
This model took Edouard on top of the 2019 Relik World Longboard Tour, 4 WSL European titles and a win at the WSL Cuervo surf Ranch Classic in 2021 with smooth progressive lines and critical noserides.
