9'2 California Classic
9'2 x 22 x 2 3/4
Double cedar stringer. Lighter red formula foam with extra S glass. This one came out light and strong. Subtle nose concave smoothly blends into a slight convex belly. Soft eggy rails nose to tail. The rocker is continuous with no big kicks. I pulled in the width so that I could carry it under my arm comfortably for those long walks back. I've had a few days small enough to test her and she rides smooth as silk. Quick turns off the tail. Easy nose rides. Effortless trim. A rocker balanced between flat speed and maneuverable curve. I've surfed many longboards and this is my all time favorite.
Kaio likes it too.
