The New Faithful is Thomas Bexon's modern longboard: more responsive and maneuverable than a traditional log, but still designed for noseriding. Its fast feel underfoot, natural lift, and ability to cover long sections make it a very versatile board, comfortable in small waves as well as in cleaner conditions.
This is a versatile modern log, stable in the nose, lively in transitions, and responsive enough to keep things exciting in turns. A board that checks a lot of boxes for anyone looking for a unique, effective, and fun daily longboard.

The New Faithful combines a noserider outline with a more contemporary approach. Wider and more balanced than a classic longboard, with less hip, it offers more open curves and better projection on long faces.
The hard edge placed on the last few inches of the tail provides drive and speed out of the bottom turn. Its flatter bottom provides stability in small, mushy waves, while the wide nose with a deep concave allows for solid, well-planted nose rides.
With its tail rocker, scoop, and modern outline, the New Faithful retains the soul of a noserider while becoming faster, more responsive, and more playful underfoot.
The New Faithful caters to a wide range of surfers, from the motivated beginner to the experienced longboarder. It's stable enough to provide confidence during progression, but lively enough for an advanced surfer looking to push their turns and noserides.
This is a very good option for someone who likes classic longboarding but is looking for more speed, responsiveness, and maneuverability than a pure log. A perfect board for progressing, walking, trimming, nose riding, and confidently returning to the tail.
The New Faithful works in a wide range of conditions, from small knee-high waves to overhead waves. It paddles early, generates speed in the mush, and maintains drive through flat sections.
He expresses himself particularly well on clean, open waves: point breaks, long rights or lefts, beach breaks that aren't too chaotic. In these conditions, he allows for connecting trim, fluid turns, projection, and solid noserides.
The Malibu Fin is the most coherent choice for the New Faithful. It keeps the necessary hold for railing waves and noseriding sections, while still allowing enough freedom to enjoy the modern, responsive side of the board.
It brings a good balance between control, drive, stability at the nose, and maneuverability from the tail. A logical fin to exploit the full versatility of the model.
