Why Choose Our Performance Longboards
Performance longboards take the longer platform and add more responsiveness. You’ll usually see thinner rails, lighter builds and moderate to progressive rocker lines that help the board fit steeper sections and turn more cleanly.
Compared with traditional logs or dedicated noseriders, they roll quicker rail to rail and more alive underfoot. Better for carving cutbacks, generating speed and even taking a crack at the lip when conditions allow.
That doesn’t mean they lose the good stuff. You still get glide, easier paddling and wave-catching advantage over shorter boards. Just with a bit more spark.
They suit:
-
Intermediate to advanced longboarders wanting more range
-
Shortboarders who still want responsiveness on a bigger board
-
Surfers chasing one longboard that can do a lot
We stock quality models from Tolhurst Surfboards, Firewire Surfboards, CJ Nelson Surfboards, Walden Surfboards and Torq Surfboards.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Performance Longboards
What is a performance longboard?
A performance longboard is a longboard designed with more responsive shaping for sharper turns, added speed and progressive surfing.
What’s the difference between a performance longboard and a log?
Logs lean toward trim, nose riding and classic style. Performance longboards favour turning, speed and a more active approach to surfing.
Are performance longboards good for beginners?
Some are, especially fuller and more forgiving models, though many beginners prefer all-round longboards or mini mals first.
What fins should I ride on a performance longboard?
Many surfers choose a 2+1 setup for versatility, while single fins offer smoother classic feel. It depends on how you want the board to respond.
