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/
