Thomas Surfboards: The New Faithful | Now at Noosa Longboards

The New Faithful is a contemporary evolution of "Involvement Style" logging, refined on the world-class points of Noosa and available now at our Hastings Street flagship. This isn't your standard traditional log; it’s a high-speed hybrid designed for surfers who want more "pizazz" and maneuverability without sacrificing a single second of tip-time.

By blending a classic noserider silhouette—wide and stable with less "hip"—with a hard rail edge in the final two inches of the tail, Thomas has created a board that offers immediate release and incredible drive. Whether you're navigating the crowd at First Point or looking for speed on an open face, the New Faithful ticks every box.

Design & Performance Features

• Contemporary Hybrid Outline: A wider, balanced template with reduced hips makes turns less pivot-focused and more about projecting through the pocket.

• Tail Drive & "Spice": The integrated hard edge through the tail provides sharp bottom turns and a fast, responsive feel underfoot.

• Superior Lift: A deep nose concave and increased tail rocker (plus that signature tail scoop) allow for critical, planted noserides even in the steepest sections.

• Speed Machine: A flatter bottom contour and continuous roll ensure this board stays stable in mushy surf while knifing cleanly into the wave face when it’s overhead.

Build & Aesthetics

Crafted with world-class Noosa pedigree, this model features a high-strength Ply Stringer for a solid, rigid feel through the trim. Often finished in a clean matte accented by distinctive resin panels, it is the definitive choice for surfers seeking a board that feels equally confident on the nose and powerful when controlled from the tail.

Board Breakdown

• The Feel: High lift. Spicy in transition and very fast underfoot.

• Wave Type: Knee high to overhead.

• Skill Level: Intermediate to Professional.

• Specialty: Versatility—transitioning from elite noseriding to powerful, carving turns.

Dimensions: 9'6" x 23" x 2 15/16"Available in square and rounded pin tails.
