9 1 Heritage Square Tail Retro Longboard Gloss Tint

9' 1" Heritage Longboard. 9' 1" × 23¼" × 3" – Volume 82.59L. Classic Trim & Timeless Style The 9'1 Longboard is built for the purist. This board is all about that effortless, "feet-in-the-wax" gliding experience. Shaped with a classic longboard template, it features a stable platform that encourages you to walk the board and spend time on the nose. The 9'0" length makes it slightly more manageable in the water than a traditional "log," giving you a bit more swing-weight for turns without losing that majestic longboard feel. If you're looking to master the art of the cross-step and want a board that looks as good as it rides, this resin-tinted beauty is the one.. Available in Bottle Green, Sky Blue or Duck Egg.. FCS II Fin Recommendations. The Heritage Longboard runs a 2+1 setup: two FCS II side finboxes, the tool-free system compatible with the full FCS II range, plus a standard longbox centre fin box, which takes any screw-and-plate centre fin, including FCS options. All fins are sold separately, so you can dial in the exact ride you want.. To make that simple, we've worked directly with FCS to pair a side fin set and centre fin to this board's specific shape and how it performs in the water, our genuine recommendation, not a generic pairing.. Pick your side fins and centre fin on the right to complete your setup.. The Circle One Heritage Range. Step back in time without sacrificing the tech. Our Heritage range is a tribute to the golden era of surfing, using modernised shapes by the legendary Jeff Townsley, the founder of Circle One and an OG of the British shaping scene since the 70s.. These boards feature a Premium Epoxy Resin Tint finish. This traditional technique creates a deep, vibrant, and translucent colour that is "in" the resin, not just painted on. Because each board is hand-laminated and hand-finished, the tint creates unique colours and sometimes patterns, ensuring your board is a one-of-a-kind work of art. Combined with modern FCS II fin boxes (the most versatile system on the market), these boards offer vintage soul, wave catching ease combined with the reliability and performance of today's best materials..

The Heritage Longboard is designed for everyday surf conditions — knee-high to overhead, with a preference for slower, more open waves where the board can find its line and you have time to move. Its length and volume make it one of the most effective wave-catching shapes available, meaning you'll be riding waves that shorter boards can't reach. For the kind of mellow, long-breaking surf the UK regularly delivers — particularly at point breaks and slower beach breaks — it's in its element.. Is the 9' 1" suitable for beginners?. Yes — a longboard is one of the best options for anyone learning to surf. The length and volume make paddling easier, take-offs earlier, and the ride more forgiving. At 9' 1" and 82.59 litres, the Heritage Longboard has more than enough stability for a beginner to build confidence quickly. As your surfing develops, the board opens up — longboarding has its own techniques and style that take years to master, so you won't outgrow it any time soon.. What is cross-stepping and can I learn it on this board?. Cross-stepping is the technique of walking up and down the board while riding a wave — moving your feet alternately across each other rather than shuffling.
