Picked this one off the last Thomas shipment in attempt to get away from the Glider/Speed Shape world. Turns out…I just cant do it.
Description from Thomas:
The New Faithful is a new longboard with hard edge in the last two inches of tail - it’s more manoeuvrable/has more pizazz than a trad log, but combined with a noserider outline i.e. wide and less hip, the flip in the tail, and a scoop, means this thing is still a serious noserider. Contemporary; hybrid; modern log, call it what you will - it’s a board that ticks all the boxes. We’ve made a full batch for our team and the feedback has been incredibly positive. We’re confident the New Faithful will be a new best seller for us. Available in square and rounded pin tails.
- Best for: knee high to overhead.
- Specialty: Versatility. Manoeuvrability. Projecting through turns and covering distance on open faced walls. Noseriding.
- Key features: A wider, balanced outline with less ‘hips’ than our typical logs means turns are less pivot focused and great for open faces. Hard edge through the tail for drive off the bottom and more speed. A flatter bottom offers a little more stability and push when in smaller, mushier surf. Wide nose and deep concave, mixed with wide tail, increased tail rocker and scoop, allows for critical and planted noserides.
- Feel: Lots of lift. Spicy in transition and through turns. Very responsive and fast underfoot.
Board Dimensions: 9’10" x 23 1/4" x 3 1/4"
Perfect condition - I’ll strip the wax and get some pics up shortly.
