Modern Surfboards | Highline 2.0 Surfboard | Novice Surfers | Excellent Fast Improvement Model

This 2nd iteration of the Highline sees the plan shape and the rocker maintained from the original version. The update features a dramatically tweaked bottom contour that has a small amount of Vee upfront then a noticeable double concave with a lot of Vee between the fins.

We know that the Modern Highline was primarily designed as a transition board for those coming off a high volume softboard wanting to ride a smaller board. It has become so much more by dramatically increasing your wave count it in turn increases your confidence and with the updated bottom contour it increases the ease of turning the board.

Essentially, we built upon the original design of this board to hasten the first steps in surfing so people develop their skills even quicker and maximise the enjoyment they get from riding waves sooner.

Highline surfboard model from Modern Surfboards. Design by examining what novice-to-intermediate surfers need in a surfboard to help them get as much actual surfing experience as possible. To become a better surfer, catching waves and increasing your confidence is the key, so we designed this board to be very buoyant (easy to paddle), stable (easy to get to your feet), and easy to control (smooth turns & go where you want on a wave). Essentially, we built this board to re-define the first steps in surfing so people develop their skills quicker and maximise the enjoyment they get from riding waves.

• OUTLINE: The outline is the key to the Highline’s amazing stability. We basically took the middle section of a longboard, then tapered the nose to a semi-point and added a nice curved square tail, and by reducing the overall board length you maintain easier side-to-side turning.
• ROCKER: Considered flat, the low rocker means this board paddles very quickly onto waves, and will maintain its speed once you’re up and riding. In this case flat equals flow, and less effort required from the rider to get the board up and going.
• CONTOURS: Updated 2.0 - small amount of Vee upfront then a noticeable double concave with a lot of Vee between the fins ( Rolled Vee to Double Concave Vee)
• PERFORMANCE: This model can be ridden shorter due to the extra width and higher volumes, which is a big advantage for beginner and intermediate surfers developing their turning skills. For better surfers, gear down into cruise mode before riding the Highline. It has a large sweet spot and offers a very fluid ride, especially in smaller, soft running beach and point waves.
• RAIL: Medium Rail

Fins supplied: FCSII Performer Glass Flex | Thruster Fin Set

Construction: Polyester (PU)
Polyester or PU construction uses traditional materials and laminating techniques to produce a strong, reliable surfboard with high quality finishes. All polyester boards are CNC milled from the shapers files and laminated by hand using quality components such as Hexcel fiberglass, Silmar resin and Bennett foam. For years traditional polyester boards have been at the forefront of performance surfing. These boards feature a progressive flex pattern controlled by a high-grade timber stringer and feel very reliable under your feet. Polyester construction will perform in all surf conditions and can be adapted to suit a wide variety of surfboard models.
