There are a few magic numbers that I’ve always revolved my dimensions around with my longboards. I think the Model T is basically the best, most balanced longboard that’s been made. Joel [Tudor] developed it with Donald [Takayama] during a really cool time for longboarding. That board is 23 inches wide, 19 inches in the nose, and around 15.5 inches or 15.75 inches in the tail. There is nothing too dramatic about it.

Noah Shimabukuro's first board model by Donald Takayama. Probably one of the most versatile boards in the DT collection; handles well in anything from 2nd reef Pipe to 2ft Malibu. Pulled in outline with beach break rocker for racier sections and late take offs. Great for tube rides, noserides, and performance surfing!
