Bongo

The Bongo is your go-to step-down board if you’re a longboarder curious about going shorter — without losing the glide and ease you love. It features a wide, straight template with a rounded square tail, giving it maximum planing surface and effortless lift in weaker waves. Designed with very low glide speed, it gets into waves early and cruises over flat sections with ease.

Under the hood, you’ll find a flat bottom under the chest for speed and paddle power, transitioning into a deep spiral vee throughout the tail for loose, rail-to-rail turning. It’s a pure fun machine, especially in mushy beach breaks and mellow points.

Best for: Mushy, fat beachies and slow point waves. Perfect for loggers stepping down or anyone wanting an easy ride on smaller days.
