NSP Overdrive

The NSP Overdrive PU is NSP’s latest addition to the range by Tully St.John of Laguna Bay longboards.

The extra width in the nose, entry concave spiralling into a V through the diamond tail, and performance rocker complimented by low boxy rails create a board that flows, releases, and is easy to turn. This is your performance longboard that works in a wide range of conditions for a wide range of skill levels and styles.

The Overdrive PU is the ultimate allrounder, designed as a competitive longboard with a focus on usability and performance this board is the perfect choice from the first board to first place.

Tully’s shapes have been honed on the long-running walls of Noosa’s Surf Reserve and its many surrounding beach breaks – the ride and flow of this PU longboard design is unmistakable Tully:

“Try to think of a two-board longboard quiver, with the Sleep Walker being the other part for smaller, longer walled waves while the Overdrive also excels in beach breaks and more powerful conditions”

NSP Overdrive Construction

A handmade, high-performance longboard shape using state-of-the-art construction techniques with modern, deep glossy color tints.

• Traditional custom-shaped polyurethane (PU) core.
• 6mm wood stringer.
• The highest quality materials are finished with a super deep gloss for a custom board finish.

For that vintage look and feel from other shapes, look into the NSP Fighting Fish, Hooligan, Dream Rider, Sleep Walker, Kingfish, Speed line, or Endless.

Available in a clear PU coat as well, these boards combine mesmerizing looks with classic shaper designs.

PU & PE boards

PU as a construction refers to a board built from a Polyurethane blank with Polyester resin, whilst PE refers to a Polyurethane Blank with Epoxy resin.

These have long been the standard for most brands and are the most widely and affordable option still out there.

Due to the core’s density, an Overdrive PU sits a little lower in the water than a PE board. Similar to the Sleep Walker in PU, this makes it easier to keep your rail under, requiring less input for slicy turns.

Being a touch heavier also helps PU boards handle choppy conditions better and are less prone to being bounced around. Sitting lower in the water also has its benefits to barrel riding, providing more hold in hollow waves.
