Circle One Heritage 9'1" Longboard Surfboard
Classic Style. Modern Performance.
The Circle One Heritage 9'1" Longboard is a beautifully handcrafted longboard designed for surfers who appreciate timeless style, effortless glide and smooth, flowing surfing. Hand-shaped by legendary British surfboard designer Jeff Townsley, this classic longboard blends traditional lines with modern epoxy construction to create a surfboard that's equally at home trimming down the line, cross-stepping to the nose or carving graceful turns.
Measuring 9'1" x 23¼" x 3" and packing an impressive 82.59 litres of volume, the Heritage Longboard paddles effortlessly, catches waves with ease and offers exceptional stability for surfers of all abilities. Slightly shorter than a traditional noserider, it delivers a little more manoeuvrability while still retaining the unmistakable glide and elegance that make longboarding so addictive.
Available in Bottle Green, Sky Blue and Duck Egg, every board features a stunning hand-finished resin tint, making each Heritage Longboard completely unique.
Why You'll Love It
The Heritage 9'1" Longboard has been designed for surfers who simply love the feeling of traditional longboarding.
Its classic outline provides incredible paddle power and stability, while the refined rocker and balanced rails allow smooth trimming, flowing cutbacks and effortless rail-to-rail transitions.
Whether you're learning to cross-step, spending more time on the nose or simply enjoying endless glide on clean summer waves, this is a board that rewards smooth technique and stylish surfing.
Unlike the dedicated Heritage Noserider, the 9'1" Longboard offers greater versatility thanks to its balanced template and 2+1 fin setup, making it the ideal choice for surfers who want classic longboard performance with a little extra turning ability.

Construction
Every Circle One Heritage surfboard combines timeless craftsmanship with premium modern materials.
EPS High Density Foam Core
A lightweight, buoyant core that offers effortless paddling and responsive performance.
Premium Epoxy Resin
Significantly stronger and more impact resistant than traditional polyester construction while remaining lighter overall.
Porcher E-Glass Fibreglass
Premium-quality European fibreglass delivers exceptional durability and controlled flex.
Full-Length 4-Ply Wood Stringer
Provides strength, stability and predictable flex throughout the board.
Crosslink Deck & Rail Reinforcement
Additional reinforcement helps resist heel dents and everyday impacts.
Hand-Finished Resin Tint
Every Heritage board is individually laminated using a traditional resin tint process. Because the colour sits within the resin itself rather than on the surface, every board develops its own rich colour variations and unique character.
No two Heritage Longboards are exactly alike.
Fin Setup
The Heritage Longboard features a versatile 2+1 fin configuration, combining FCS II side fin boxes with a traditional standard longboard centre fin box.
This setup allows you to enjoy the stability and drive of a classic longboard while fine-tuning the board's handling with different centre fin sizes and side fin combinations.
Fins sold separately.
Working alongside FCS, we've selected the side fins and centre fin combinations that best complement the Heritage Longboard's shape, making it easy to complete your setup with confidence.
