Widely considered one of the best surfboards for noseriding in the world. This design is the most well-rounded and versatile of Donald’s classic retro line. With a broad, easy to noseride front and wide, surprisingly loose tail, this board is a staple of every one of Donald’s team riders’ quivers. Classic 50/50 rails, a single fi n box, and a wide square tail give the Model T a classic flair suited for beautiful surfing. The Model T will perfectly complement anyone’s longboard quiver. The Model T performs best in waves from shoulder high to ankle small. If you are looking for a longboard that promotes style and noseriding, look no further than this heavily tested and time-trodden gem of a surfboard.
