I came late to the surf world via my kids. We have been surfing for 7 years now in Costa Rica and all over the world. I absolutely love my 8.0 Mega Magic and have been lately cruising our 8.0 Magic. We have around 4 Walden boards in Costa Rica. We love them all and my kids rip on the small boards, but they always come back to the Magic 8.0 for some fun longboards sessions. Love you guys and everything you stand for!

Why do I keep buying Walden boards (5 and counting)? The design is elegant, and rides better than any other board I have ever tried, no matter how small or big the surf, just pure joy on a wave.

I've been riding Walden boards for 55 of those 60 years I've been surfing! I've seen it all...and then some! Cowabunga!

Steve Walden, simply put, is one the best. His experience, knowledge, and touch set him – and his surfboards apart. The whole gang at Walden always delivers, from top-notch products to exceptional customer service. They care deeply about their community, and about making sure every board meets their customers’ needs, from beginner boards to a custom, one-of-a-kind Walden creation.

A Walden Mega Magic 9’6 would look sexy on the ceiling of our shop in the off season and on the waves of Hawaii or Tofino in Summer😊.. Best board ever!🙌
