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 Gerry Lopez Long Haul True-Ride Surfboard 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.
