The Long Rider is a highly versatile, very easy to surf midlength that performs equally as well for beginners and experienced surfers alike. With volume generously hidden throughout the foil and outline, the Long Rider catches waves as easily as the longboard you learned to surf on, but talented surfers will find this shape can hold the rail in tight angles as well as their favorite shortboard. Whether you're looking to cruise on smaller days or take on head-high sets, this midlength surfboard has you covered. Recommended with our Firewire Velox Fin Set in the Quad configuration, for the best experience. *** Helium Core Technology A stringerless EPS core with flex controlled at the rails made from Paulownia and Balsa wood - this construction is light and lively underfoot, and excellent at generating speed in everyday waves.
