As the name suggests, this is a board that covers all the bases. The 2+1 longboard can be used as a speed shape for bigger surf, as something that can handle junky conditions, or just as a practical longboard for those not wanting the full single fin feel. The 2+1 gives the board more projection off the bottom and versatility off the top and through turns. 9'4" x 22 13/16" x 2 13/16"

The Malibu is our most versatile noserider and works equally well in mushy beachies and clean point breaks. A wide nose and square tail provide stability and glide through slower sections, while extra concave and a chamfered edge through the nose help to slow things down and make noseriding more forgiving. The Malibu’s renowned for being a stable, “easy” noserider. It works best in below knee to head high waves. 50/
