Engineered for Performance Longboarding
The Longbird represents a performance-oriented approach to classic longboard design. When the waves are high and the wind is low, this board comes alive, ready to rip through powerful surf in a skilled and playful manner that separates it from traditional cruiser longboards.
The full rocker is the key feature that defines the Longbird's character. Unlike flat-rockered longboards designed for small wave glide, the full rocker provides great response for tricky maneuvers and smooth turns in powerful surf. This allows you to surf more vertically, execute tighter turns, and handle steep drops with control and confidence.
The 9'4" length maintains the paddle power and wave-catching ease that makes longboarding accessible, while the performance-oriented design ensures you can progress your surfing and tackle challenging conditions with a board that responds to your input.
Perfect for experienced longboarders seeking performance in powerful surf, intermediate surfers progressing beyond beginner longboards, traditional surfers who want responsiveness, or anyone who wants a longboard that excels when conditions get good.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What's the difference between full rocker and flat rocker longboards?
A: Full rocker longboards have more curve from nose to tail, providing better performance in powerful surf with responsive turns and maneuverability. Flat rocker boards are better for small wave glide and nose riding but feel sluggish in bigger, more powerful waves.
Q: What skill level is this board designed for?
A: The Longbird is designed for intermediate to advanced longboarders who can handle powerful surf and want to execute skilled maneuvers. Beginners should start with more forgiving, flat-rockered longboards before progressing to performance designs.
Q: Can I nose ride on this board?
A: While the full rocker makes nose riding more challenging than flat-rockered longboards, experienced surfers can still nose ride on the Longbird. However, it's optimized for performance turns and maneuvers rather than extended nose riding.
Q: What size waves does this board work best in?
A: The Longbird excels in chest-high to overhead waves (4-8+ feet) with power and clean faces. It's designed for those quality days when waves are high and wind is low, rather than small, mushy conditions.
Q: How does this compare to a shortboard in powerful surf?
A: The Longbird offers easier paddling and wave-catching than shortboards while still providing responsive performance in powerful surf. It's ideal for surfers who want longboard paddle power with more performance-oriented handling than traditional longboards.
