The Takeoff is designed to jumpstart your surf journey. With a wide nose, high-volume shape, and forgiving soft construction, it's the fastest, most stable ride for new riders. Unlike thin, sharp-edged beginner boards that prioritize grip, the Takeoff trades a little traction for extra down-the-line speed and a looser, cruisier feel. A true blend between a fast longboard nose and a playful fish-style tail, it's perfect for building confidence with extra speed and dampening with its unique wood construction while also having fun right out of the gate.
