One aspect of the Performer’s design is the optimum stability it provides for beginning surfers. It is an easy board to paddle and catch waves on. Due to it’s overall surface area, it’s very stable which makes it easy to stand up on. With the number of women and children learning to longboard we decided to incrementally bring down the size of the Performer so that it is more comfortable for lightweight beginners to carry and maneuver in and out of the water. We are really excited about these “mini” Performers. We're going as short as 7’6” for children in the 60-79 lb range and 8’0” to 8’4” for women and children between 80 -135 lbs. All longboard models are available in "mini" versions in the 7'10" to 8'4" range.
