🏷 Name & Range

9'0 PERF Longboard — Original Series

🌍 Eco-friendly manufacturing: Paulownia Eco Wood concept (wood sourced from sustainable forests, combined with bio-based epoxy resin).

📐 Dimensions & Shape

• Width: 22 1/16″ (56 cm)

• Thickness: 2 11/16″ (6.8 cm)

• Volume: 61 L

🔎 Shape analysis:

• Progressive rocker → smooth entry for early takeoff, dynamic exit to maintain speed.

• Rounded rails → comfortable transitions, smooth handling in curves.

• Balanced tail → wide enough for stability at the nose, refined enough to release turns.

• Rocker marked on the nose → additional control in hollow sections, limits nose diving.

👉 Result: a versatile longboard, capable of retro riding while allowing for modern maneuvers.

🦾 Construction

• EPS HD (high density) foam: lightweight and durable.

• Central slat made of marine wood: increased rigidity and strength.

• Natural Paulownia finish: ultra-lightweight and durable wood, nicknamed "aluminum wood."

• Vacuum epoxy lamination: performed in a climate-controlled room with resin drainage → stronger, lighter, more durable board.

• Bio-based epoxy resin: reduced environmental impact, longer life than conventional polyester.

💡 This lamination technology reduces unnecessary weight while increasing strength → you gain in performance and durability.

🌊 Fin configuration

• 2+1 setup:

  • 2 FCS 2 Performer M side fins (11.5 cm)

  • 1 US BOX 9″ (23 cm) center fin

• Versatile mounting options:

  • Single fin → old school style, pure and long glide.

  • In 2+1 → more drive, pivot, and grip to engage modern turns.

🏄 Level & Template

• Recommended level: Intermediate to expert

• Suitable sizes: from 50 to 95 kg

• Ideal conditions:

  • Small, soft waves (early take-off + long glide)

  • Hollow, fast waves (good grip thanks to rocker and fins)

  • Versatile → one board for a variety of sessions.

🚀 Performance & Behavior

• Take-off: very fast, perfect for getting started early even when the wave lacks power.

• Nosériding: maximum stability thanks to well-distributed width and volume.

• Maneuverability: lateral fins provide control in turns, while the central US BOX allows for varying responsiveness.

• Stylistic versatility:

  • Old school → long turns, smooth trim, hang five.

  • Modern → supported rollers, cutbacks, possible entry into the tube.

👉 It's a longboard that adapts to your surfing style, rather than imposing a fixed style on you.

✅ Target audience

• Intermediate: want to progress towards greater fluidity, learn noseriding.

• Experienced/Experts: looking for a technical but accessible longboard to vary their surfing.

• Schools/clubs: reliable board for medium to heavy riders, versatile in all conditions.
