So what's good to get if you're a longboarder who wants to do shorter boards sometimes?

I would get like a 6-8 to 7-2 round pin twin.
low rocker so they paddle and catch waves well.
they don't require a lot of work to get moving but can still be pumped for speed and turned pretty easily.
sized correctly they are duckdiveable unlike the 8 footer which is like the longest a board can be while still being a midlength.
they are just fun and a different vibe than a longboard which is probably a single or single + sidebites.

Get it the same length as your height. Get it in the Team Light glassing.
Rook 15
First seen on the WCT tour in 2010, the Rookie has been rediscovered by our entire CT team this year; Seabass, Kelly, Adriano, Lakey, Bianca, Sage and Kai all have won heats on the new Rookie 15. Ridden shorter and wider than the original, the Rook 15 is the ultimate contest workhorse. Single...

Only because it's close to my house, and I can sneak in sessions before/after work. Although it can be good once in a while.
R you a Palo Alto bro? Jus go to Taco Bell beach n get whatever all the hipsters there are riding.
I’d say a flat entry with more exit rocker if possible. Not sure your price range (LOL), but a couple of the ML album twins I would suggest: a Townsend (sized like Havoc’s in the classifieds), or a short Darkness (aka Dankness)
I'll check those out. I ride custom longboards. Those ain't cheap. A short(er) "expensive" board doesn't phase me LOL
PS: I'm not a PA "bro"

6'8" Lucent
Designed & developed with Asher Pacey. The Lucent originated as a symmetrical version of the Townsend. With a more pulled in outline and performance rail than the Darkness and a bit more curve in the rocker. It can operate as a step up / paddle machine with Asher generally using it when Kirra is...
