Just The Tip Noserider Longboard Surfboard – Cutlap Sage EPS
SKU: sku-48605545988311
The Just The Tip is a user-friendly noserider longboard surfboard designed for surfers who want to spend more time on the front half of their board. Its wide nose, subtle nose spoon, forgiving 50/50 rails and stable rolled bottom work together to make cross-stepping and noseriding more approachable while maintaining the smooth, flowing feel of traditional longboarding.
A wide nose creates a stable platform when moving forward and provides the surface area needed for confident noseriding. The subtle spoon through the nose adds control when you're on the front of the board, while the rolled bottom and 50/50 rails create smooth rail-to-rail transitions and a predictable feel underfoot.
The result is a forgiving noserider that performs in both softer everyday surf and clean longboard waves. Whether you're learning to cross-step, working toward longer noserides or simply looking for a stable, versatile longboard, Just The Tip is designed to make traditional longboard surfing easier and more fun.

WIDE NOSERIDER OUTLINE
The wide nose creates a stable platform for walking forward and spending more time on the front of the board. The added surface area provides stability underfoot when cross-stepping and helps make noseriding more approachable for surfers developing their traditional longboard skills.
SUBTLE NOSE SPOON
A subtle spoon through the nose is designed to improve control when the surfer moves forward. It complements the wide nose and helps the board feel stable during cheater fives, hang fives, hang tens and other noseriding variations.
FORGIVING 50/50 RAILS
Traditional 50/50 rails create smooth, predictable transitions through turns and while cross-stepping. Their rounded profile gives Just The Tip a forgiving feel and helps maintain the smooth flow associated with traditional longboard surfing.
ROLLED BOTTOM
The rolled bottom through the center of the board creates a stable, smooth feel underfoot and helps the board transition naturally from rail to rail. This predictable platform makes it easier to move around the board and work your way toward the nose.
BUILT FOR NOSERIDING PROGRESSION
Just The Tip isn't designed only for surfers who can already hang ten. Its forgiving outline and stable platform make it particularly useful for surfers learning to cross-step, improving their positioning and working toward longer, more controlled nose rides.
| Size | Width | Thickness | Volume |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8'6" | 22 1/2" | 3" | 65.4L |

WHAT SIZE JUST THE TIP SHOULD I RIDE?
8'6" — 65.4L
The shortest and most manageable Just The Tip. The 8'6" maintains the stability and noseriding characteristics of the shape in a more maneuverable package, making it especially useful for lighter surfers or riders who don't want the size of a traditional 9'+ longboard.
9'2" — 78.3L
The all-around choice in the Just The Tip range. The 9'2" provides substantial stability, glide and nose area for traditional longboarding while remaining manageable enough for everyday surfing.
9'6" — 87.7L
The largest Just The Tip provides maximum glide, stability and platform for traditional longboarding and noseriding. Choose the 9'6" if your priority is spending more time on the nose and maximizing the classic longboard feel.
RECOMMENDED FIN
Just The Tip is designed to pair with a 9"–10" longboard fin. Fin size and template can be adjusted depending on rider size and whether you prioritize maneuverability or additional hold while nose riding.
Is Just The Tip a good longboard for learning to noseride?
Yes. Just The Tip was designed to make noseriding more approachable. Its wide nose creates a stable platform when stepping forward, while the 50/50 rails and rolled bottom provide a smooth, predictable feel as you move around the board.
What makes a good noserider longboard?
A good noserider typically combines a stable nose platform with design characteristics that provide control and stability when the surfer moves forward. Just The Tip uses a wide nose, subtle nose spoon, 50/50 rails and rolled bottom to create a forgiving platform specifically suited to traditional longboarding and noseriding.
Is Just The Tip good for beginner longboarders?
Yes. Just The Tip is particularly well suited to beginner and intermediate longboarders who want to develop traditional longboarding skills. Its stable, forgiving design helps make cross-stepping and moving around the board more approachable.
Can you hang ten on Just The Tip?
Yes. Just The Tip was specifically designed for noseriding, including hang fives and hang tens. Its wide nose and subtle nose spoon provide a stable platform for surfers progressing toward longer and more controlled noserides.
What waves is Just The Tip best for?
Just The Tip performs well in softer, mushier surf as well as clean longboard waves. Its stability and wave-catching ability make it a versatile everyday longboard rather than a board reserved only for perfect noseriding conditions.
What size Just The Tip should I ride?
Choose the 8'6" if you want the most manageable and maneuverable version, the 9'2" for an all-around balance of glide and control, and the 9'6" if maximum glide, stability and traditional longboard feel are your priorities.
What fin should I use with Just The Tip?
We recommend pairing Just The Tip with a 9"–10" longboard fin. A larger or more hold-oriented fin can provide additional stability for noseriding, while a more maneuverable template can create a looser feel.
