double nickels

At Hobie Surfboards, we’re committed to the ancient art of logging. There are plenty of options within the longboard category, from performance and vintage to gliders and everything in between, but the heart of logging is the noseride: the unmistakable feeling of hanging digits while trimming across the face of a wave. We all want more time on the nose, and Gary Larson’s answer is the Double Nickels. The Double Nickels shares some DNA with our Uncle Buck II, but with more rocker, especially in the nose, the Nickels mimics the curve of the wave.

Its green weight blank, triple stringers, and 8 oz Volan glass combo deliver both trim and a solid platform. True 50/50 rails, a flat deck contour, deep concave, and subtle vee create unmatched lift, responsiveness, and ultimate tip time. Whether you’re a seasoned noserider or just starting out, the Double Nickels offers a foolproof ride and a traditional tail outline that invites you to experience noseriding nirvana on any wave.
