Now on our Tenth revision, our exclusive 3rd Coast Surfboard line is a collaboration between TCSS and the professional craftsmen at Bing Surfboards in Encinitas, California. The Bing label is one of the oldest in the world, and today they continue to build some of the highest quality surfboards to be found anywhere. TCSS owner Ryan Gerard and head Bing shaper Matt Calvani worked together to design a line of three models that would be ideal for Great Lakes surf, but like a good surfboard should, also work well anywhere in the world. We are very fortunate to be able to offer these boards at incredibly reasonable prices.

For years The Original Levitator was Bing's #1 selling wider noserider. When they introduced the Continental model the Levitator took a backseat and started to fade into the distance. Knowing we had the basis for a solidly successful and popular model in the Levitator Matt revisited the design this last year and updated it to our new Levitator Type 2 model.

FROM MATT CALVANI:

"I decided to take the design in a different direction and developed it into a hybrid log with performance characteristics. I wanted a board with drive to get around critical sections while maintaining glide speed, along with the ability to make faster tighter turns, in a sense I 'took the brakes off' that is common with most noseriders. I've added an edge in the tail that transitions to a 60/40 rail in the middle. I've maintained some attributes of the outline but made it noticeably narrower overall; especially in the nose and tail, while keeping its signature pointed nose. Having the wide point slightly forward still makes it an excellent noserider even with the narrower nose. Finally, eliminating the step deck allowed for more volume in the nose, offsetting the need for the additional width in in the original version."

The resulting Levitator Type 2 has proven itself to be an all-around square tail log that excels in all conditions, is focused on speed, and maintains the traditional attributes of a noserider.

"THIS IS THE BOARD THAT WILL GET YOU TO THE FINISH LINE"

I wanted to make a board with a wide nose and slightly more pulled in tail to really appeal to surfers of all ability levels. For the surfer looking to consistently get to the tip, this board is perfect. It gives you the confidence to get to the nose in one fluid motion.

The main attributes of this board focus on early wave entry and stability for the surfer looking to enhance their classic longboarding style. The pulled in tail allows for quicker rail-to-rail turns, and easy set-up for nose rides. The board has a continuous easy entry rocker that is forgiving and stable for cross-stepping and late take offs.

The midsection of the board is a quarter inch wider than most of our models, lending to more stability while moving up and down the board. The blended concave and 50/50 rails throughout make for easy transition from the back of the board to the nose "To take you from the center of the board to the finish line!"

Average nose: 19.5"
Average tail: 15.75"
