Want to longboard like a champ? This is the most performance orientated longboard in the NSP range and is still a well priced longboard.
PRO-9 ELEMENTS
Here's what NSP SAY;
The NSP Pro-9 is designed by Carl Schaper as a performance longboard, and it is the most high-performance longboard in the NSP lineup. The Elements Pro-9 features the most durable construction in the lineup with wide, fiberglass stringers and our precise- and ultra-durable Elements.
Board details
Bottom: Soft roll to mid-V to V to double concave
Rider: Intermediate – pro
Wave Type: All conditions
Shape:
The Pro-9 is a longboard with as much shortboard crammed into it as possible. Carl Schaper will often point out the back-third of the board, as it fits almost perfectly on his 6’2” step up, with the same thickness, tail dimensions and rails. The bottom has a soft roll to V in the middle, running into V with a double concave in the tail.
With several years of development, the latest and greatest tweak to the Pro-9 is in its nose-riding capability.
Fin Setup:
The Pro-9 comes in a 4+1 fin configuration enabling you to be creative in your setup as a quad, thruster or single fin. NSP placed the Surf 10 fin box slightly further back, creating an ideal configuration for a thruster setup. The board comes with FTU fin boxes, making it compatible with Futures Fins. Right out of the box, the Pro-9 Elements comes with a 2+1 set – a 9″ Nylon centre fin and two MFC-designed side bites.
