Description
The “La Paloma”
A classic California gun shaped board. As a longboard with a pulled in nose, this board will give you the all benefits of a longboard like paddling power while its gun shape is meant for bigger surf. Among others, it is loved by gnarly old guys still charging it.
Tim’s story behind the model: “I wanted a longboard with a more pulled in nose. It acts more like a gun, allowing you to be comfortable in big waves. I named it after the La Paloma Theater where I went when I was a kid working at Sunset Surfboards and surfing North County religiously for over a decade.”

Features and Benefits: Single, double, or multi stringer, modern rails, and glassed with light weight 6-ounce glass for bigger waves. It is a board designed as more of a gun, almost a longboard gun in the 60’s. The La Paloma will give you the glide and still fit in larger waves.

Had Tim build me an 8’6 La Paloma, phenomenal board! Works great in bigger surf yet easy to paddle.. plus the most beautiful color/design and glass job ever! One of the best boards I’ve ever owned. Still stoked, thank you Tim!
