The Ca Nose Rider is Timmy Patterson’s refined take on the traditional nose rider—a longboard built for those who appreciate the art of trimming, gliding, and hanging ten. This model channels the soul of 1960s-style logging while incorporating subtle modern touches for enhanced control and stability.
The board’s retro-inspired outline is full and balanced, offering a wide, stable platform ideal for smooth cruising and confident nose work. A low rocker with a soft tail kick provides excellent trim speed while keeping the tail locked into the wave’s pocket. Whether you’re perched on the nose or stylishly stepping back, this board rewards fluid footwork and graceful timing.
50/50 rails round out the design, delivering the softness and forgiveness that classic longboard aficionados demand. These rails hold well when the board is perched high on the wave and encourage seamless transitions through turns.
Beneath the nose, a deep concave helps lift and hold you in position while hanging toes over the edge. This flows into a rolled bottom, promoting smooth glide and lift that makes walking the board a dream. From the takeoff to the tip ride, the Ca Nose Rider feels like it’s in sync with the wave.
Pros:
Classic nose rider feel with modern precision
Excellent trim and glide from low rocker and rolled bottom
Soft 50/50 rails promote smooth rail engagement and style
Deep nose concave offers lift and hold for extended nose rides

Cons:
Specialized for clean, peeling surf—less versatile in punchier or hollow waves
Heavier feel and less pivot compared to performance longboards
Summary:
The Ca Nose Rider is a celebration of classic longboarding. Ideal for logging purists or surfers looking to tap into a slower, more expressive rhythm, it offers stability, elegance, and unmatched nose-riding potential. Whether you’re learning to cross-step or you’ve been logging for decades, this board is a graceful, soulful ride made for clean walls and timeless sessions.
