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.

The Paragon pairs well with either CJ's Power Flex or Involvement fin. For the Power Flex, go 9.5" on the 9'3", 10" on the 9'7", and 10.5" on the 9'11". For the Involvement, go with the 9.5" on the 9'3", 10" on the 9'7", and 10.5" on the 9'11". Smaller sizes offer a quicker, more responsive feel, while larger sizes provide added glide and stability.
