Gerry Lopez Long Haul Surfboard Nothing feels better than to ride the nose on a long section hanging ten or even getting a cheater five up there. Any long boarder worth his salt needs to have one of these moves in his repertoire and the Long Haul in True Ride makes it easier. The wide, full nose template gives one plenty of planing surface and room to stand up there comfortably. The square tail works as a release point allowing the board to pivot for quicker turns but you will be riding the other end of the Long Haul most of the time.
