Description
The Tall Poppy is a modern all-round longboard that blends classic glide with smooth, responsive performance. At 72 litres, it offers excellent paddle power without feeling bulky. A subtle teardrop nose concave creates lift and stability when cross-stepping and noseriding, while a decent amount of tail rocker allows smooth pivot turns without sacrificing glide. Balanced 50/50 rails and a lightweight 6oz bottom / double 4oz deck construction keep the board lively, responsive and easy to carry.

About the Shaper

Aitken Surfboards was founded by New Zealand surfboard shaperΒ Lou Aitken, whose passion for surfing has grown into a dedication to building boards that help people get the most out of every session.

Lou has spent over 20 years surfing and more than a decade shaping surfboards. She first discovered surfing at just 10 years old at Sandy Bay, a place that remains closely connected to her journey and helped shape her lifelong love for the ocean.

Today, Lou shapes every board from Pacific Fibreglass in Auckland, combining traditional craftsmanship with a thoughtful, detail-focused approach. Her philosophy is simple. Every surfer deserves a board built specifically for them. Whether it is a first board, a refined longboard, or a high-performance shape, she works closely with each customer to create a board that matches their style, ability, and vision.

What drives Lou most is bringing other people's ideas to life. Seeing someone out in the water on a board she has shaped, feeling confident, connected, and enjoying every wave, is what continues to inspire her.

Every Aitken Surfboard is built without compromise, balancing performance, durability, and timeless design. Each board is carefully crafted to suit the individual, creating a board that not only looks beautiful but feels right under your feet and maximises enjoyment every time you paddle out.

Lady Slider shares the same philosophy, celebrating craftsmanship, individuality, and the simple joy of surfing. Together, Aitken Surfboards and Lady Slider represent a genuine passion for creating quality surfboards that inspire confidence and a lifelong connection to the ocean.
