The Chosen One Performance Noserider Longboard – Peach

The Chosen One is a performance noserider longboard designed for surfers who want extended time on the nose without sacrificing turning ability and responsiveness. Its slender profile, narrow nose and wide-point-back outline allow the board to fit tightly into the pocket, while the deepest concave in our longboard lineup creates an expansive sweet spot for controlled noseriding.

Unlike a traditional wide-nose noserider built primarily for trimming and time on the nose, The Chosen One combines noseriding performance with a more responsive outline. The wide point sits farther back, while refined rails through the tail help the board pivot quickly and smoothly, making it easy to cut back, reset and return to the nose.

The result is a versatile longboard that can be surfed from nose to tail. It offers the stability and control needed for extended noserides while maintaining enough maneuverability for more performance-oriented longboarding. From knee-high surf through clean head-high waves, The Chosen One is designed for surfers who want one longboard that can do a little bit of everything.

WHY WE CALL IT THE CHOSEN ONE

The name The Chosen One comes from a simple idea: this board will have you walking on water like Jesus.

Built to keep you moving from tail to nose, The Chosen One is all about effortless flow, confident cross-stepping and spending more time at the very front of the board. When everything comes together and you're perched on the nose with nothing but water beneath your feet, you'll understand the name.

DEEP NOSERIDING CONCAVE

The Chosen One features the deepest concave in our longboard lineup, extending from the nose to just beyond the midpoint of the board. This creates a large sweet spot designed to provide control and stability as the surfer moves forward and spends more time on the nose.

SLENDER PERFORMANCE OUTLINE

Rather than using an extremely wide traditional noserider outline, The Chosen One carries a more slender profile designed to fit comfortably into the pocket of the wave. This creates a more responsive feel and allows the board to surf tighter sections while maintaining its noseriding capability.

NARROW, BLUNT-ENDED NOSE

The narrower nose is designed to fit into tighter pockets without catching while still providing the platform needed for noseriding. Its blunt end gives the surfer usable space at the very front of the board for controlled hang fives and hang tens.

WIDE-POINT-BACK DESIGN

Moving the wide point farther back creates a more responsive turning platform. When the surfer steps back, The Chosen One can pivot and redirect quickly, making it easier to cut back, reposition the board and set up the next noseride.

REFINED 50/50 & 60/40 RAILS

Thinned-out 50/50 rails provide a smooth and stable feel through the majority of the board, while 60/40 rails through the tail create additional responsiveness and control. This combination helps The Chosen One transition between traditional noseriding and more performance-oriented turns.

BUILT TO SURF NOSE TO TAIL

The defining characteristic of The Chosen One is versatility. It's designed to let you move forward for extended noserides, then step back, redirect the board and set up the next section. That makes it an excellent choice for surfers who don't want to choose between a dedicated noserider and a more maneuverable performance longboard.

8'6" — 63.4L

The shortest and most maneuverable Chosen One. The 8'6" is especially well suited to lighter surfers or experienced riders who want the board's noseriding characteristics in a more manageable, responsive package. Your existing copy specifically calls the 8'6" more manageable for lighter surfers.

9'2" — 76.1L

The all-around option in the range. The 9'2" balances glide and noseriding stability with enough maneuverability to take advantage of The Chosen One's performance-oriented design.

9'6" — 82.5L

The largest Chosen One provides the most glide, stability and usable platform for traditional longboarding while maintaining the responsive characteristics of the shape. Choose the 9'6" if noseriding and glide are priorities but you still want a board that can be redirected from the tail.

We recommend pairing The Chosen One with our 9"–10" STCo Nose Rider Fin for additional hold and control while nose riding. If you rather stay maneuverable and playful, go for the STCo. Volan Fin. They are both located at the top of the page.

Is The Chosen One a noserider or performance longboard?

It's both. The Chosen One combines a deep noseriding concave and stable 50/50 rails with a slender outline, wide-point-back design and more responsive tail. This allows surfers to spend time on the nose while still being able to step back, turn and redirect the board.

What makes The Chosen One good for noseriding?

The Chosen One features the deepest concave in our longboard lineup, extending from the nose to just beyond the midpoint. Its refined nose and stable rails create a large usable sweet spot designed for controlled, extended noserides.

What is the difference between The Chosen One and Just The Tip?

Just The Tip is our more user-friendly traditional noserider, designed to make cross-stepping and noseriding approachable.

The Chosen One is our more performance-oriented nose rider, designed for surfers who want to combine time on the nose with quicker turns, cutbacks and more responsive surfing from the tail.

Is The Chosen One good for beginners?

Yes. The Chosen One is designed for surfers across a wide range of skill levels. Beginners and intermediates can use its stability and noseriding characteristics to progress, while advanced surfers can take advantage of its more responsive outline and ability to transition between the nose and tail.

What waves is The Chosen One best for?

The Chosen One is designed for approximately knee-high through head-high surf. Its versatility allows it to work in everyday longboard conditions while its slender outline and responsive tail allow it to fit into cleaner, tighter sections.

Can you hang ten on The Chosen One?

Yes. The Chosen One is specifically designed for noseriding, including extended hang fives and hang tens. Its deep concave, refined nose and stable rail design create a large sweet spot for surfing from the front of the board.
