The Cheater by Sakal is a versatile noserider that blends modern and old-school features offering a wider nose and a pintail for extra hold in bigger surf. This is a personal shape I got directly from Ed Sakal. Perfect for surfers in the 190lb+ range.

This is one of many personal custom shapes I’ve been fortunate enough to work with alongside Ryan Engle. The shape is derived from a combination of the Sprout 2.0 and the Paragon. It has the turning ability of a pintail, with the famous nose riding stability of a Sprout 2.0. This has quickly become one of my favorite boards in the quiver. Ideal for the 170 lb+ longboarder.

This CJ Nelson Pintail Sprout was the first of two boards that Ryan Engle shaped for me. The goal was to get the nose riding stability of The Sprout, but with a pintail for steeper or bigger waves. He nailed it right out of the gate. This is when I started becoming obsessed with 10'x24" wide boards. I was around 205 lbs when this was shaped so the extra volume reflects that. This is an incredibly user friendly board that works in all size waves.

Shaped by Eric Christenson out of Orange County, and the brother of the slightly more famous Christenson down in San Diego. Eric is an amazing shaper in his own right and sells boards around the world. This board is beautiful in person with a great resin tint Volan glass job, and the black nose just pops! I surfed this board quite a few times when I first got it a few years back, but it's definitely geared for a bigger guy—I'd say this board is best suited for a surfer in the 220 lb. plus range.

This Kai Sallas Mango Jam is a PU model that I picked up from a team rider. It’s a high-performance modern single-fin longboard. It features a lower-volume outline, a tucked rail edge near the tail, and a continuous slight V-bottom shape built for radical, sharp turns and smooth tip-riding.
