Mini Longboards

Mini Longboards

The Mini Longboard.

Another shape that is a blast to surf is the mini-longboard, or MLB, essentially a longboard with the middle cut out ranging in sizes from 7’0 to 8’0, and a great choice for small to head high conditions.

More maneuverable then a longboard and just as stable, these super paddlers easily catch the smallest of waves and can be ridden into the overhead range. A great choice for the lighter beginner, experienced gal surfers who don’t want to lug around a full longboard, or the ripper who wants all the fun of a longboard in a more compact package, we’ve chosen the highly rated and appropriately named Waterhog from Channel Islands to add to our quality selection of surfboards.

Stop in and check them out, and you’ll see why the Waterhog is so popular among MLB aficionados.

Welcome to the team Justin Buford! Justin has been a part of the shop since we opened in 2010.

His family lived just up the street and his step-dad is one of the best surfers in town. His brother-in-law comes from the legendary South County Surf family the Ledbetters. Surfing is who and what Justin is, it’s in his blood. 
It felt a lot like home, Ireland. I suppose in a bizarre way it is, as my ancestors planted their roots in county Sligo on the North West coast of the country in the early 1700's after immigrating from Scotland. Ireland has been at the top of my travel list since long before I found out there was surf there. I formed images in my head of what the landscape would look like from seeing pictures, videos and hearing stories of infamous rocky basalt point breaks and shallow heaving slabs. Every image I had crafted fell short in comparison to seeing it all in person for the first time.
