We will be doing this type of post for the next few days and today is the longboard day. The board descriptions are from the man himself, Chris Christenson.
Enjoy!
9'4 Bonneville
Mitch Abshere and I have been working on this design for a while and we have finally nailed it. The narrower nose with the wide point well behind center help this board turn and pivot on a dime and with the reverse rocker and extra tail kick it can nose ride with the best. This board has a shallow nose concave that goes almost to the mid point and soft 50/50 rails all the way thru the tail. I expect this model to be one of my best selling logs soon.
9'0 CC Slider
This is the oldest nose rider in my line up and my best selling log. Wide nose, parallel rails, deep nose concave, and a reverse rocker make nose riding and trimming a breeze. If you are only going to have one log in your quiver and you want to nose ride than this is your board.
9'2 Westside
Out of all my nose rider models this one turns the best. The wide point is nearly 14” behind center. If you are not obsessed with nose riding but still like to get up there once in a while than this board is for you. Like all my nose riders, the rocker is reversed and this board will nose ride in the pocket. This model is available with(for points and reefs) or without (for beach breaks and onshore conditions)a nose concave.

7'6 C-Bucket
This has been my best selling mid length the past few years. The plan shape is more streamlined than the Submariner yet fuller than the Osprey. Low rails, low rocker, and a complex bottom contour, this board can handle a variety of conditions. This is more or less the mini-version of my glider design. Great for trim and glide keeping it smooth and casual for the expert and also a great design for the novice to cruise on and gain style points. This design also rides the barrel well on those stiff offshore days and the added length will let you sit deeper than the rest of the pack.
7'0 Osprey
This is a streamlined mid-length design inspired by the Skip Frye K model. I was very fortunate to be shaping room neighbors with Skip Frye for 10 years. I owe a lot of my inspiration to the Skipper. I love riding this model when I am too lazy to ride a short board but I’m not in the mood to deal with a log. 4 fins, low rails, v and concave bottom contours, this board zips and trims at any break. Also an amazing board to get shacked on at your local beach break when the swell is up and the winds are howling offshore. A great daily driver as well for those that prefer length in their quivers.
Stay tuned for more froth tomorrow.
Aloha Y'all
