Visit Classic Modern Log by Bob Mitsven is the perfect synthesis between the Californian longboard heritage of the 60s and the modern precision of contemporary shaping. Inspired by classic square-tail boards and refined over fifty years of experience at San DiegoThis model combines the spirit of traditional surfing - that of pure glide and nose riding - with subtly modernized lines for enhanced maneuverability and fluidity. Shaped by hand in his own workshop, the Log reflects Bob's philosophy: to create boards that are lively, harmonious and timeless, connecting surfers directly to the very essence of gliding.
Visit Classic Modern Log is distinguished by a full and balanced outlinea tail square typical of noseriders, and a flat rocker which maximizes speed and stability. The concave bottom under the nose helps grip when stepping forward, while the Light V tail ensures smooth, natural transitions during turns. This ingenious design allows you to link sections effortlessly, maintaining a continuous, stable glide. In small waves, it glides with ease and allows total control when nose riding; in more powerful conditions, it retains its rail hold and precision, even at high speed.
Visit Log is usually mounted in single finThis configuration was chosen by Bob to preserve the purity of style and the direct connection between surfer and board. Its length, between 9'0" and 10'2"offers the perfect compromise between stability, paddling and maneuverability. It's not a demanding longboard: it forgives mistakes while emphasizing style, placement and wave reading. It's for those who like to glide for long periods, feel the wave under their feet and rediscover the sensations of original surfing.
Each Classic Modern Log is hand shampooed by Bob MitsvenIn the purest San Diego tradition. Bob adjusts every curve by eye, fine-tunes the rails to perfectly fit the surfer's size and the waves he's aiming for, and pays particular attention to the weight and rigidity of the glassing. Some models are made with stringers in red or clear woodand translucent resin shades and a mirror polish finishWe've inherited the classic techniques of Bird's Surf Shed and Skip Frye. Every detail is designed to last and to glide.
