With loads of surface area up front, and a more tapered outline in the tail, the Modern Love Child is a versatile cruiser that is sure to double your wave count. This surfboard paddles exceptionally well, has plenty of turning ability off the tail, and will adapt as the conditions, and your approach changes.

5 reasons why you need this board:

  • Very maneuverable and responsive for a board of this width.
  • High line cruising to banking a nice turn on open face.
  • Two boards in one longboard nose for stability and a pin tail for more control on steep waves.
  • Versatile fin set up, 2 + 1 or Quad.
  • Double your wave count one of the finest performance cruisers on the market.

Specifications

  • OUTLINE: The longboard outline up front creates a huge stable zone under the front foot and chest, which is great for catching waves early and riding forward towards the nose. The tapered area pintail keeps the board manoeuvrable and adds control in bigger, steeper waves.
  • ROCKER: The low rocker is designed to glide effortlessly into waves and maintain down-the-line speed and acceleration. The subtle lift in the tail rocker promotes smooth gliding turns on the face.
  • CONTOURS: Pronounced vee-double concave starts under the front foot and runs all the way out the back maintaining ample manoeuvrability on an otherwise wide, higher volume board.
  • FIN: Three different fin configurations offer 3 types of performance. The single and 2 + 1 set-ups deliver a free-flowing ride while promoting longer lines. The quad offers a faster ride with tighter turning capacity.
  • AESTHETIC: The traditional resin tints, rail laps, and gloss finish not only look striking but also guarantees that each board has its own unique appearance.

5.0/5 based on 4 customer reviews

    I purchased the 8-foot love child. It is my favorite board now! It surfs everything. Steep , mushy waves Big Surf and little surf.. I love the five fin option. I hope this board remains in the Modern lineup. I will definitely by this board again.

    Love it! Another great board to learn on but look cool while doing it. With a great combination of fin set ups, you can ride any kind of wave, from 1ft to 8ft. The experience surfer will love having fun on this board just as much as the beginners. Its an all rounder, if you ask me.

    I have a 7/6 love child and it rips want to purchase a 6/4 as soon as the wife is not looking. I have always rode it as a quad and as long as your on the rail and cranking the tail it flies. I’ve made several sections on this board that I would have bet I’d never make. I have no hesitation to claiming it as one of the best boards I’ve ever owned. One downside I wish I’d got one sooner.

    Wowee! Hold on to your hats, if you're upgrading from a foamie like me! Janis (my 7'6 Love Child) took off so quickly I flew off the back the first time, I was so used to the slow meandering pace of my foamie I had not prepared myself for how keen Janis was to fly down that wave. But what a dream she is. She caught everything I paddled for, and still has heaps of volume so the stability is there for an easy pop up when you are still learning, but soooo much easier to move and go across the wave instead of lumbering straight down (in absolute fear you're are going to run over the children in front of you because you and your foamie can't change direction within a 10 minute time frame). You genuinely feel like you have progressed your surfing ten fold in the first session with this board. I was beaming after my first session with her. Happy freaking days.
