Paragon

Classic Utility

The Paragon is a workhorse for the traditional longboarder—a “classic” California-inspired step deck designed to be extremely neutral. It’s fast and loose off the tail and stable on the nose for pocket tip riding. With a smooth rocker profile, slight step deck, and tail edge, the board flows and maneuvers with ease while remaining a versatile noserider. A rolled nose blends into a modern down rail in the tail, allowing for powerful bottom turns and smooth cutbacks. A favorite among the entire team.

(Concept designed by CJ x Ryan Engle)
