If you want a cruisey, retro longboard, this ain’t it. The LSW offers uncommon drive down the line whether you’re surfing head-high peelers or knee-high dribblers. Its four-plus-one fin design and funky double-winged pintail make the LSW look undesirably tight, but the board is easy to turn. It also paddles and nose-rides like an old-school log while still giving you all the maneuverability of a high-performance longboard. 9’鈥9’6″.
