Modeled after the longboards of the 1960's, the Retro Noserider provides more stability and glide than your conventional longboard. By combining a wider-than-normal square tail with a scooped nose and 50/50 rails, this board makes noseriding a breeze. Ideal for small conditions, pointbreaks, and lazy summer days.
Unlike other soft tops on the market, this board is constructed from a hand-shaped epoxy core and has a high-density wood stringer. The rails and bottom contours are also hand-shaped, and the board is finished with Hexcel cloth and epoxy resin. The top deck/rails are wrapped and vacuum-sealed with a texturized EVA foam.
As a result, this board has the cushy feel of a foamy coupled with the performance/durability of a retro longboard. Gone are the days of waxing up your board or having to worry about rail dings.
It’s a great surfboard for those who are wanting to eventually longboard, or like me, waiting for my other surfboards to be mended I always look forward to riding this 9’0 and many times it’s the perfect choice for the conditions (ventura/mondos essential gear) and when you don’t want to worry about rock bottoms!
I absolutely Love the paragon foamie. As an expert learner and surf therapist I find this one essential to start beginner surfers on; it allows for more confidence and fair balance and play area on the board, quicker popup potential and longer rides. GREAT DESIGN! @hydrotheory
It's perfect... I wanted a light noserider with low rocker. My middle aged neck and shoulders appreciate that it is lightweight, but a real wave catcher in the water.
