DEVILED EGG MADERA

4+1 FIN SETUP / ROUNDED PIN TAIL

When designing the Deviled Egg, Steve’s goal was to create the ultimate one-board quiver —a versatile Swiss Army Knife-type shape that could handle a wide range of wave conditions from waist-high to overhead and would serve as the ultimate travel board. Reaching back into his archives, Steve started with a classic mid-length egg outline and added his trademark Magic Model concave bottom and hard rails. The result is a morphed board that combines Steve’s traditional roots and experimental design philosophy. A pulled-in nose, rounded pin tail, and longdrawn-out curve through the middle of the board’s outline are a few of the features that make the Deviled Egg a highly maneuverable yet smooth-riding hybrid. The Deviled Egg also has plenty of volume to get into waves early, plus just enough rocker and nose kick to handle steeper drops. We’ve combined the Deviled Egg with Surftech’s TRUERIDE construction for a predictable and consitent feel. For riders who want dependability and are looking to blur the lines between shortboarding and longboarding look no further than the Deviled Egg.

TRUERIDE boards consist of a PolyUrethane Core, PolyEster Resin, and model specific fiberglass layups specked to achieve the right balance between weight and durability. Surftech’s TRUERIDE construction is our most traditional surfboard build, providing users with a dependable and predictable surfing experience.

POLYURETHANE CORE

// High-density polyurethane core for performance and feel

POLYESTER RESIN

// Advanced polyester resin for strength and flex

6OZ FIBERGLASS W/4OZ FULL PATCH

// High strength-to-weight ratio, blanced for performance and durability

WOOD-PLY STRINGER

// Wood fibers creates a natural flex and adds break-strength

FCS II + CENTER FIN BOXES

// Takes just seconds to insert and remove the fins

AIRBRUSHED RAIL AND BOTTOM + PIN LINES

// Long lasting color keeps your board looking new longer

SANDED FINISH

// The fasted finish, optimized for high speed surfing

Micro Magic True Ride

4+1

FIN SETUP / SQUASHTAIL

The Micro Magic has all the best attributes of a longboard packed into a small, easy to maneuver, performanceoriented board under 7ft long. Riders will love how 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.

“THE FATHER OF THE MODERN LONGBOARD”

Magic True Ride

2+1 FIN SETUP / SQUASH TAIL

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.
