"I use the APEX for pushing my traditional longboarding to its full potential. I ride a larger one when the surf is clean, and smaller ones when it gets windy."

APEX

The APEX takes all our knowledge of traditional and performance longboarding and rolls it into one beautiful package. When we designed this board we were out to make the most versatile classic longboard of all time. A board that's incredibly easy to ride for a novice but also a board that CJ can push himself on for many years to come. Concave in the nose for incredible noseriding lift, hip in the back like a classic "involvement" log for pivot and whip but with a lower performance style rail and a modern edge in the tail for speed and control. An homage to the past with modern touches. The "Apex" of classic longboard design.
