Stretch's High Performance Longboard is a balance of traditional style and forward thinking. It's been fine-tuned to be quick-turning and ultra responsive so you can carve, glide and rip down the line with clean style.

Recommended sizes

Tail Options

Types of Tails

Round Pin Tail

  • Moves the "sweet spot" slightly farther ahead on the board, in front of the fin cluster.
  • Offers a different release & hold for deep carves and more drawn out turns
  • Shortens the "effective rail line" and with respect to board length, resulting in less area on the tail to penetrate the wave face so that you can actually sink a section of tail deeper than other templates.

Thumb Tail

  • Softens the pivot points on the end of the rail line while keeping a smooth flow like a round pin without taking away the tail width

Squash Tail

  • Top to bottom surfing
  • Free the tail on all your turns
  • HIt the lip and more while you rip it down the line.

Bat Tail

  • Offers a more pivotal, snappy feel
  • Loosens up the board by having the rail line end shorter
  • Relative to other tails, the bat is wider at the block, allowing the rear foot to move further back in to the fin cluster.
  • Combines the swallow tail feel but with more stability

Diamond Tail

  • Offers an aesthetic alternative to the bat tail while keeping the same performance features

Swallow Tail

  • Quick, loose and responsive for snappy turns off the top
  • For similar results with a more distinctive look, try our Moon tail

Baby Swallow Tail

  • Quick, loose and responsive for snappy turns off the top
  • Baby swallow tail is a reduced version primarily used on big wave boards

Deep Swallow Tail

  • Quick, loose and responsive for snappy turns off the top
  • For similar results with a more distinctive look, try our Moon tail

Moon Tail

  • With performance features similar to the swallow tail, the Moon adds a much more distinctive look.

Winged Tail

  • Pulls in the outline at the trailing edge of the fins as a way to break the water along the rail line.
  • Adds a snappier and more pivotal turning characteristic as opposed to a full rail turn.

Fin Options

  • Offered as Quad or 2+1 with 10 1/2" box
  • A versatile 4+1 option offers the choice of either one

Also Available

Outline

A moderately narrower nose and pulled in tail add more curve to the outline for smooth turning and control under speed.

Rocker

Our progressive 3-stage banana rocker brings the nose up on take off and gives immediate response when stomping the tail and leaning in through turns.

Rails

A domed deck rolls over into soft 50/50 high performance rails which foil out into a more responsive feeling tail and thinner nose with less swing weight. A hard edge at the fins gives a crisp release.

Bottom

Rolled vee in the nose transitions to a smooth and slight single concave that turns to vee out the tail.
