Long Island is known for its surfing and that's a good thing. It may not have to most consistent, perfect gnarly waves. The best times of the year may be when you're freezing in a thick wet-suit. But I don't think a Long Islander would change that. That is what makes the place special.
Everyone who wants to get a vibe for how awesome this place really is needs to check out A Hundred Miles to The End. Pulled from their Facebook page "Follow a lifelong Surfer as he re-visits the places he used to surf over his 48 years of surfing on Long island. Starting at Western Long Island and heading East to The End."
Here's the trailer giving just a taste of the LI goodness.

Some Good in the World
Jamie O'Brien makes a wish come true for this kid! There is some good in the world! Check him out at pipeline crushing barrels and granting wishes!
Stewart Hydro Hull
The Stewart Hydro Hull is the epitome of a classic longboard. What made the Hydro Hull so popular then and still today is the awesome performance from the beveled rails and the single to double concave bottom.
Full length edges lifted by the bevel along the rail make for speed down the line and strong drive out f turns. The V with the double concave on the bottom makes rail to rail changes fast and effortless so the more advanced surfer will have no trouble with a hard bottom turn.
Fast, stable, maneuverable, responsive and fun, this board can handle everything from overhead barrels to ankle high nothing. This board is ideal for an surfer skill level or wave condition.
Here is GSI's take on the board!
And some guy shredding on it!

Lost V2 Stub
The East Coast slop has met its match from ...Lost again! The V-2 Stub will combat those crowded sloppy days.
The board's nose wide, flat and full. Rocker is much flatter on this and will cause the board to generate speed nicely. Combine this with a lot of volume and it creates a board that really feels like a rocket even in those small powerless waves. The board is available in multiple glasses, including EPS and SuperSap Epoxy along with a five fin configuration. Get out and try it!

Walden Magic Model
The Walden Magic Model is the original "modern" longboard and one of the worlds most popular boards from Walden. Capable of riding both large and small waves you can't go wrong with it.
The hull has a unique design, the top half being concave which turns to a double concave toward the end of the board. Its got tough rails the will be very durable. The concave nose is perfect for nose riding with its lift and stability.
The board can come in a variety of flavors. First off it can be ridden as a 2+1 or with a long single fin. There are a bunch of glassing options as well. The most popular being a standard PU technology. Next lighter than PU and a little more rigid, is the SLX epoxy. Also, the newest and lightest performance model is the FutureFlex Model. The board has an EPS core and combines that construction with carbon fiber on the rails adding a springyness that isn't found in other boards. This allows for drive out of turns. The most durable of the Magic Models is the X2 shell, which has a hard epoxy around the board great for the beginner or the clumsy surfer.
Get out and ride this board, its a great ride!
