9'0" Alex Knost BMT Noserider summer sale9'0" Between recording albums, touring, going on surf trips, and running the Costa Mesa Conceptual Art Center, Costa Mesa's Alex Knost manages to squeeze in some time to shape some select sleds. This longboard from Alex screams tail to nose surfing. At only 9'0", it is ultra lively and maneuverable. Alex placed the wide point behind center, as he does on all of his longboards, pulling in the nose and tail slightly, creating beautiful outline curves.

he's one of the most renowned surfboards builders living today
with wide point a decent way above center with a slightly pulled in nose and narrow tail
The rocker profile is relatively flat with just a bit of flip in the nose
and a healthy
versatile noserider with some Transition Era influence
The outline is a bit narrower than the Twin Pin and the rail foil is boxy and forgiving with more thickness pushed towards the nose while the tail is a little more thinned out
The bottom contour is slightly rolled in the nose
