Walden Tandem team Bobby & Vanina

Just in...an amazing video of Walden veteran and tandem team rider Bobby Friedman and his new partner 11 year phenom Vanina Walsh. Vanina is 60 lbs. soaking wet, still in elementary school and yet one of the most fearless and graceful surfers we have ever seen. This teeny weeny wahine doesn't flinch at double over head waves. She has not gone unoticed by the surfing industry, Roxy signed her on as a team rider as well. Look for Vanina and her signature pink Walden wahine with red hearts in future Roxy ads. Bobby has been riding for Walden for many years and has transformed tandem surfing..he is a combination of power and grace. Vanina doesn't weigh enough to compete with Bobby yet, but once she gets to competition weight we know the Bobby/Vanina team will be unstoppable.

Magic Model video

We just finished the first of several videos about our board range, starting with the Magic model. The video features team rider Brendan White, Jarrod Poirot & Kyle Ruddick

About the Magic model....

The Magic Model is one of the most sophisticated longboards ever designed. Originally built in 1981, the magic model was years ahead of its time and has become the prototype of the modern longboard.
The Magic Model has been tested and improved for over twenty five years and today its performance is unmatched. The magic model is a great nose riding board,and all around performance longboard, just as fun in small surf as it is in larger waves.
The Magic Model is designed with a concave nose flowing to the middle of the board that transitions into double concave hulls extending to the tail with a moderate “V”. Rails are hard in the rear and soften to the nose to maintain responsiveness in all conditions. Although the rails tend to be harder than most other longboards, the unique bottom curve and beveled rails keep them from catching like most other hard rail boards.

To order a Magic Model call 805.653.1717 or visit our shop in Ventura. We also have a full line of Demo Magic models to try out!

Thanks to.. Kyle Ruddick and his team for this amazing video.
