Walden Magic Model (True Ride)

It’s called the Magic Model for a reason. The Magic rocker, Magic rails, and the Magic hull, are very unique to Walden Surfboards, the front 1/2 of the hull is concave, this single concave transitions into a double concave in the rear and the back 1/3 transitions into a moderate “V”. The concave nose adds lift and stability, perfect for noseriding. The double concaved hull and hard rails make the board fast, stable, responsive and maneuverable in all conditions. The Magic rails are hard, they tend to be harder than most other longboards, the unique bottom curves & bevels keep the rails from catching unlike most other hard rail boards. Riders of the Magic Model have been known to surf better, catch extra waves and enjoy their sessions more. Read more →

Shaper

Steve Walden shaped his first surfboard in 1961, at age 13, and never looked back. Eight years later, the native Southern Californian opened his first board factory and store in Huntington Beach, then moved to the North Shore of Oahu in 1972, where he made a name for himself as a prolific longboard shaper. While the rest of the surfing world was fixated on short single-fins, Walden continued to faithfully hone his longboard designs. Over the year he shaped for prestigious labels like Lightning Bolt, Local Motion, HIC and Channel Islands, but it was always his own boards that set him apart. By the early 80s Walden returned to California where he unveiled unveiled his wildly successful Magic Model with it’s radical rocker, down-turned rails, unique bottom curve and bevels, and super-fast bottom contour.

With arguably the most advanced and high performance longboards on the market, Walden was uniquely positioned to capitalize on the resurgence of longboarding in the late 80s and 90s. To date, Walden estimates he’s personally shaped over 20,000 boards. These days, when he’s not mowing foam, Walden is surfing. Though he competed some as a teenager, he returned to contest surfing at the age of 30 and has been a regular on the podium ever since. In fact, Walden still holds the record for the longest noseride in competition history with an epic 25.5 second ride.
