Affectionately known as "The Aircraft Carrier," the 9'6" SanO is the highest-volume board we make. 101 liters of float catches absolutely everything, paddles with effortless speed, and stays rock-solid stable. The easiest way on earth to learn, and a true longboard to cross-step and nose-ride once you have.

Quick answers
Asked before you have to.
Will this fit in my car?
At 9'6" it's a big board - it usually needs roof racks or a truck/van. Measure your vehicle interior before ordering if you plan to fit it inside.
Can I nose-ride it?
Absolutely. The high volume and wide nose make a stable platform for cross-stepping and perching on the nose.
Is it heavy to carry?
About 20 lbs - significantly lighter than a fiberglass longboard of the same size, so it's much easier to carry to the beach.

This board has been amazing. It has made it easy to get up and cruise down the wave. The buying process was smooth. Thanks for a great surfboard.
I love the board. The only thing that I wanted to tell you guys is that I needed to add wax on the sides because without it, it can be very slippery, I had two bad experiences there. Also it's a heavy board... but I'm getting stronger ;)
Got it out to Oceanside pier T4 today, first time to really get the feel of it. Seems very stable (I need more practice), and paddles very well, I was impressed at how easy it was to paddle. So far I am very happy with it.
Only ride it once but loved it
I will be reuniting with the ocean and the sea after a 30-year Hiatus of first lesson first wave on the Hawaiian island beach of Waikiki. I look forward to surfing the beautiful Waters of New Jersey with my dear friend Edmund as my beaut...
