The ultimate longboard for noseriding lovers, honed to perfection.
The Frank is a refined and unapologetic version of what a longboard can deliver in small waves.
Sitting between the Deano and the Incredible Ten in the GONG range, it stays true to classic noseriding while enhancing it with bold design choices and cutting-edge technology.
Featuring a long yet refined outline, increased volume, and an extra-wide tail, the Frank delivers exceptional lift and stability for noseriding. Its slim profile ensures quick paddling, offering a smooth glide and maximizing every ounce of wave energy.
The broad tail locks in the water flow, creating remarkable lift and stability at the nose. It feels as if you're floating, effortlessly maintaining your trajectory with perfect control.
A slightly more pronounced rocker finely balances the board’s substantial volume, granting it remarkable maneuverability for its size. Transitions between nose and tail flow effortlessly, delivering a smooth and intuitive ride. The rails stay true to the classic 50-50 shape, ensuring a sweet glide while honoring traditional longboard design.
The Frank stands out even more thanks to its EPS Pro technology. Constructed entirely from carbon over an EPS core, this construction is revolutionary in the world of classic longboards. It provides remarkable stiffness and energy, setting a new benchmark in its category. Contrary to what one might expect, this rigidity doesn’t compromise the glide. On the contrary, it enhances finesse and precision in every maneuver while delivering subtle yet invaluable accelerations in the most critical sections.
On a design as specialized as the Frank, this technology makes perfect sense. It turns the board into a precise and efficient tool, perfectly suited for small waves. Where the Deano already shines, the Frank goes even further—a Deano +++ that takes the noseriding experience to its peak.
Thanks to its ample volume and carefully tuned rocker, the Frank gets into waves early and keeps a seamless glide. It’s built for surfers who want the perfect balance of style and performance, with a modern edge that transforms each wave into a creative playground.
From flowing through sections with ease to holding timeless noserides or just embracing the beauty of the ride, the Frank embodies the very essence of a noserider longboard.

Buying guide

The Frank suits both experienced longboarders and intermediate surfers looking to refine their style and progress in the classic log repertoire. It’s not a versatile all-rounder or a radical modern longboard—it’s made for those who seek ultra-stylish glide, precise lines, stalls, and flow on the nose.
Designed for effortless flow, the Frank is all about engaging with the wave rather than pushing aggressive modern turns. Its generous tail and finely tuned rocker allow it to settle seamlessly into the wave’s line, offering unmatched stability for extended noserides.
With the Frank, everything is designed to adapt your surf to the wave and extract its purest essence. It naturally locks into the perfect line, allowing the surfer to focus on positioning and style without struggle or loss of control.

Although shaping allows for endless possibilities, introducing other sizes would dilute what makes the Frank special. Every aspect of its design is fine-tuned to this precise length, ensuring effortless flow on the wave and seamless transitions on the board.
The Frank is built for small waves, where it can fully unleash its potential.
It excels in knee- to waist-high conditions, with a preference for long, sluggish waves that allow for smooth lines and extended time on the nose. Perfect for point breaks, slow beach breaks, and clean, gently peeling waves.
The Frank isn’t meant for aggressive surfing or high-speed waves. Its design is all about smooth flow and stability, not explosive maneuvers.
The choice of fin plays a crucial role in how the Frank performs.
