Product Information

Full details

The 9ft 6 Circle One longboard is an ideal choice for surfers of all levels looking for a reliable, versatile board that excels in a variety of wave conditions. Designed by legendary shaper Jeff Townsley, this board provides effortless glide in small, mellow waves while maintaining enough agility for advanced maneuvers like nose riding; however, its substantial 73.64L volume may feel unwieldy for smaller surfers or those strictly seeking high-performance shortboard-style snap turns.

FAQs

Is this board suitable for complete beginners?

Yes, the high volume and stable outline make it an excellent choice for beginners to learn to paddle and catch waves.

Can I use standard FCS fins with this board?

Yes, the board features FCS Fusion fin boxes which are compatible with standard FCS-style fins.

How should I store my board during the off-season?

Store it horizontally in a board bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to protect the epoxy finish.

What is the primary benefit of the 2+1 fin setup?

It allows you to switch between a traditional single-fin feel and a side-bite configuration for more speed and grip.

Is the board prone to pressure dents?

While the epoxy construction is highly durable, all surfboards can suffer from pressure dents under heavy foot traffic; regular care and proper storage will minimize damage.

Troubleshooting

Board feels slow and sluggish in turns

Check your fin configuration; try removing the side bites to ride as a single fin for a looser feel or check for damaged fins.

Fin feels loose in the fin box

Verify that the grub screws are fully tightened. If the screw strips, replace it with a new stainless steel FCS-compatible grub screw.

Surface ding or crack in the epoxy shell

Stop using the board immediately to prevent water absorption. Clean and dry the area, then repair using an epoxy-compatible ding repair kit.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent wave-catching ability due to the 73.64L volume
  • Versatile fin setup allows for customization based on wave conditions
  • Durable epoxy construction handles frequent use well
  • Stable platform ideal for learning and nose riding practice
  • Classic round pin tail enables fluid, stylish rail-to-rail transitions

Cons

  • Large volume can be difficult to manage in heavy, steep surf
  • Weight of the 9'6" board requires a longboard-specific roof rack for transport
  • Less responsive in aggressive, high-speed maneuvers compared to smaller boards

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Fin Installation: Insert the included FCS-style fins into the FCS Fusion boxes. Ensure the grub screws are tightened securely using a standard fin key before every session.
  2. Waxing: Apply a base coat followed by a temperature-appropriate top coat of surf wax to the deck to ensure proper grip.
  3. Transportation: Use a padded board bag for transit to prevent dings. Always use soft-rack pads if mounting to a vehicle roof.
  4. Storage: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when not in the water, as heat can cause delamination. Store in a cool, shaded area.
  5. Maintenance: Rinse the board with fresh water after every saltwater session to prevent salt buildup on the fin boxes and deck pads.
