The Personal is my take on the modern traditional noserider—or my answer to a comp design. It has all the things I love about ’60s style longboards, but with its added hip and tail curves I’ve freed up the more parallel outline of most traditional noseriders. I love how The Personal still lets me rely on solid levitation and hold during long, critical noserides yet because of its tucked edge I’m able to step back on the tail and effortlessly redirect in and around the pocket.
