Walden Micro Magic (True Ride)

The Micro Magic has all the best attributes of a longboard packed into a small, easy to maneuver, performance oriented board under 7ft long. Riders will love low the extra volume under the chest increases paddling power and find the full rails improve stability while maximizing float through flat sections. A complete longboard outline combined with the 2+1 fin option means riders can even noseride the Micro Magic, tapping into traditional log vibes. The option to switch to a 4-fin setup maximizes the board’s drive allowing high speed and critical surfing in the wave’s pocket. Consistent with other surfboards in Steve’s Magic line, the Micro Magic’s rails and bottom contours feature a blend of progressive bevels, concaves, and hard edges. It’s safe to say nobody does bottom contours like Steve. Proven heavily in competition by Steve and a host of other team riders, Steve’s “Magic” features allow the board to turn easier, dig rail less, and plain at high speed with less work. The result of combining all these features is a board that makes surfing easier and allows surfers to catch more waves, ride waves longer and pull off maneuvers they wouldn’t be able to on other boards. Being such a versatile board, we hate to say the Micro Magic will only work in certain conditions because, in truth, anybody could ride this board in just about any wave and have a good time. For those looking to marry the feeling of long and shortboard into one, want immediate performance gains, or are looking for a board that performs across all conditions, we highly recommend the Micro Magic from Steve Walden.

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.
