We enjoy making and riding all types of surf craft and that definitely includes longboards. They are great fun especially on a nice point or when the waves are a bit small or full. We can create you a very light high performance board to throw around or the MORE traditional and usually heavier and cruisier version or anything in between.... |
Longboards and mini-mals
This is a 9'1" x 22 1/4" x 2 3/8" high performance longboard I have recently shaped for team rider, Sharon Jackson. Sharon wanted a light and easy-to-throw-around board for comps, but also so she could still get up on the nose occasionally. The board is going to be ridden on the points of Noosa and The Bluff but also on the beachies around the Sunshine Coast. The bottom shape is single concave to double with quite a bit of vee out the back. The rails are very soft thru the front end but get very boxy in the tail and the edges are kept extremely sharp and hard in the tail area. I don't ride a longboard very often but when I held this under my arm, it definitely made me wanna give it a go....
This is an 8ft Quad longboard called "The LiQuadEighter", its obviously 8ft and is designed for performance surfing. Quads are great for longerboards and give you even more speed plus plenty of manouverability, especially when you can fine tune the fin set up with the FCS plugs. I like to glass them light so they are very lively in small and weaker waves and easy to throw around for a board thats 8 ft. Rocker is a touch more than your standrad 8ft longboard but then again, this isnt a standard board, everything is designed to perform. Concaves are single to double and fairly deep to maximise their benefits, the bat-tail is for bite while still maintaining stability in the tail area, so if you are looking for a fun and different board and a bit sick of the norm, then the LiQuadEighter might just be for you.....
This is an 8' 8" Swinger longboard, its a round tail quad and is a super fun design. The flyer allows a much more performance designed tail with more curve in planshape and narrower where the board turns from but while still having the width up front where it needs to be, the best of both worlds really.The double concave start shallow but gets quite deep thru the quad fins then fades into a little vee out the back. A design that pushes what you can do on a board of this length. Glassed light for maximum liveliness and response.
Mini-Mals are a great shape for alot of surfers, they are great learning boards but can also be alot of fun when its small and you need a bigger board to get you onto the waves, a very handy board to have in the quiver for sure. This is a 7'6" x 21 1/4" x 2 3/4", thruster, single to double concave with glass on fins. A very user friendly board but still with the ability to lay down some solid turns. Glassed with a 4 oz bottom and a 1 x 6 0z and 1 x 4 oz deck for a little extra strength without making it too heavy.
Here are some MORE pics of a recently shaped 9'1 , high performance, diamond tail. 9'1 x 21 7/8" x 2 5/8"
