Review update:After my 3rd time trying my Retro Noserider out, I have to say that I LOVE IT. At first I didn’t love it because it didn’t feel like a beginner board at all. It’s definitely a bit smaller than what true beginners start on. I took a lesson with it the 2nd time around, and the tides were pretty rough, so I didn’t enjoy my time on my board at all. However, the 3rd time, the waves were a lot mellower, and this allowed me to really see what this board feels like. It’s great.During my 2nd time (lesson) I popped up and stood up on my first try which was super exciting. Today, I was catching wave after wave.The board is absolutely gorgeous, and is very very light. Whenever anyone see the Noserider, they have to stop and admire it. I can’t say enough good things about this board. Furthermore, the owner whom I was in contact with (Alex) was extremely helpful and made sure all my questions were answered.If you have had a few surf lessons already or are comfortable on a foam board, I would definitely recommend this one!!

I’ve only paddled this out in 1-2′ clean weak point waves, so not a real legit session on it yet but it glides into waves easy and is actually really maneuverable even at low speeds. Does feel a bit corky as an epoxy so might buck a bit in choppier surf.We’ll see how long this epoxy construction lasts given the price-point, but thus far seems like a legit board despite being a Chinese pop-out.If you’re looking for performance or pro-quality look elsewhere. For casual early intermediates and up this is a nice add to the quiver. Plastic stringer seems a bit weird to me, dunno how that will effect flex, but price-point was right since this won’t be my daily driver.Not a beginner board. Beginners should stick with a soft-top and beginner breaks! Delivery was good w/o issue.

After my last 9’0” snapped, I was on the hunt for a new (or used) longboard for a few months and I couldn’t be happier with my selection of the 8’0″ epoxy retro noserider. Everything at my local shops were going for $700-900+ new, and the used selection was picked over given it was summer in FL. As an actual surfer looking for a real performance board for experienced riding, I never thought in a million years I’d buy a board on amazon (mind is still blown…).I stumbled upon Paragon browsing online and hadn’t surfed or seen their boards before. I usually support local surf shops in buying new boards, but this small So Cal company had a solid value proposition in its quality construction (albeit mass produced) at very affordable pricing. Not the construction or work of art as a Walden, but at sub $500 you seriously cannot find a better value for a solid, non-soft top longboard. Outside of riding this regularly myself, this is a great one trick pony board for all skill levels and attitudes (minus agro shortboarders 4life). I’m 6’4″ 200 lbs (I can still move, don’t you worry), but I’ve pushed in 4 year old groms on this thing, as well as seen my gf catching waves non-stop on it while I mind the cooler on the beach.I say longboard here, but at 8″0″ its really on the smallest end of that spectrum as most true noseriders are at least 9’0″ for the length and counterbalance float needed at the tail for your all weight at the nose for more than a couple seconds. If you’re good enough and the conditions are right you can still chill and cruise at the front for a long time. I might of opted for their 9’0″, but all were out of stock (which seems to be a common theme), but I am happy I ended up with this one because of it’s versatility. The benefit with this size is not only the obvious of storing, carrying, transporting a little easier (probably fits in most SUVs); but its got the volume to walk, dance, trim and hang 5 (getting to 10 is a little tough on this given the slightly narrower nose than a traditional noserider), but also versatile enough to walk back, stomp on the tail, and lean into some carve-y cutbacks, plus the functionality of pumping longer lines and even getting vertical with some off the lips if the conditions (and skill level) permit. Going a little shorter here is also counterbalanced by the epoxy construction, which floats a bit higher in the water than standard PU. Makes paddling a dream.Most of my riding is on the west coast of FL now in 1-4 foot waves. I catch more waves than anyone in the lineup times 2 with this shred stick. Not the hot dog vehicle that I ride when the waves are bigger, but I’ve had more memorable wide-grinned long lines on this thing than any shorty or groveler could provide. Personally, I wish it was a tad wider and thinner, but that’s preference speaking. I’d still buy again, and likely will. I’m planning on trying their epoxy 6’0″ fish as my next alt-board addition to my quiver. Regularly changing up board lengths and riding styles these days keeps my inner-grom stoke flame alive.As an added bonus, this thing RIPS for an impromptu post-session beach air guitar (see pic or it didn’t happen). This company has some cool art on other models, but since this one came as a tabla rosa, I added a custom paint job – iconic Gerry Lopez lightning bolt and all. Have fun and Go Surfing!

The board was great and arrived as described. The customer service and support after the purchase was also excellent – I had a small issue with fitting the fin- they were super responsive and helpful. I wish I had $1400 to drop on a locally shaped longboard but I donβt. I care about getting out there and catching some waves. If youβre looking to upgrade from rentals or wave storm, or just want to add a classic nose rider to your quiver on a budget go with these guys. Awesome stoked

I’m impressed with this board. This board is worth more then I paid. I’m really considering buy the 9ft. Before the price goes up. I’d recommend this board.

The profile and shape of this 9β-0β board is amazing. It is excellent for the smaller long waves of the east coast.I gave a five star review not only because of the board and the value of the product but I received personalized and professional costumer service after an issue with the delivery company. I had access to the owner of paragon surfboards who help me work out the issue with the delivery company and went to bat for me several times. To many people the delivery issue (that was not my fault) would have been a justified reason to remove several stars from the rating but after the service I got I wish I could give Paragon Surfboards 6 Stars!Whether you are cruising, hanging ten, ripping, shredding, tubing or tumbling in the wash outβ¦you want to do it with Alex and the folks over at Paragon Surfboards!
