9' 6" Heritage Nose Rider
9' 6" × 23¾" × 3½" – Volume 80.5L
The King of the Lineup The 9'6" is the ultimate wave-catching machine in the Heritage collection. With a massive 80.5L of volume, this board offers a "cadillac" ride, smooth, stable, and completely unflappable. It is designed specifically for traditional noseriding, featuring a wide platform and deep nose concave to create lift while you're hanging ten. This board turns any ripple into a rideable wave, making it perfect for those long summer sessions or surfers who want the absolute maximum glide. Every 9'6" is a hand-shaped masterpiece that celebrates the heritage of British surfing.
Available in Bottle Green, Sky Blue or Duck Egg.
Fin Recommendations
The Heritage Noserider is fitted with a single standard longbox centre finbox, compatible with any screw-and-plate centre fin. This is the traditional, correct setup for a dedicated noserider, fins are sold separately, so you can fine-tune the feel.
The right centre fin makes a real difference to how a noserider performs. Working with FCS We've hand-picked the option on the right based on our knowledge of this board's shape and how it rides in the water, our genuine recommendation for this setup.
Pick your centre fin on the right to complete your setup.
The Circle One Heritage Range
Step back in time without sacrificing the tech. Our Heritage range is a tribute to the golden era of surfing, using modernised shapes by the legendary Jeff Townsley, the founder of Circle One and an OG of the British shaping scene since the 70s.
These boards feature a Premium Epoxy Resin Tint finish. This traditional technique creates a deep, vibrant, and translucent colour that is "in" the resin, not just painted on. Because each board is hand-laminated and hand-finished, the tint creates unique colours and sometimes patterns, ensuring your board is a one-of-a-kind work of art. Combined with modern FCS II fin boxes (the most versatile system on the market), these boards offer vintage soul, wave catching ease combined with the reliability and performance of today's best materials.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Heritage Noserider different from a standard longboard?
A noserider is specifically designed to be ridden from the front of the board. The deep nose concave generates lift when you walk forward, preventing the nose from sinking. The 50/50 rails through the body create drag to keep the board locked in the pocket of the wave, and the single fin provides directional stability and flow. A standard longboard is shaped for more versatility — turns, trimming, varied technique. The Heritage Noserider is optimised for one thing done exceptionally well: walking to the nose and staying there.
Is the Heritage Noserider suitable for beginners?
Yes — at 9' 6" and 80.5 litres, this is the most accessible board in the range. The volume and length make paddling easy and take-offs forgiving, and the wide, stable platform is ideal for someone still finding their feet. The noserider is also a board that rewards years of practice — learning to cross-step, read the wave, and time your walk to the nose is a skill that develops over time. You won't outgrow it quickly, which makes it a worthwhile long-term investment.
What does ‘hanging ten’ mean, and can I learn it on this board?
Hanging ten means walking all the way to the nose and hanging all ten toes over the tip while maintaining control and trim on the wave. It's one of the most iconic moves in surfing and requires the right board to even attempt it. The Heritage Noserider is specifically shaped to make it possible — the deep nose concave provides the lift needed to keep the tip from sinking when you're up there. Whether you're working towards hanging five or the full ten, this is the board to learn on.
Why does the Heritage Noserider use a single fin?
The single fin is the traditional and correct choice for a noserider. A larger single fin gives the board directional hold and that smooth, flowing feel that defines classic longboarding. It keeps the board tracking cleanly across the face of the wave and provides the stability you need when walking forward. A thruster or 2+1 setup would make the board more manoeuvrable but at the cost of the glide and pocket-hold that noseriding depends on. The single fin is simply the right tool for this job.
What fin should I use with this board?
The Heritage Noserider uses a standard longbox (screw-and-plate) centre fin. We've hand-picked specific FCS centre fin options that we genuinely believe work best with this shape — a larger, more upright fin template is generally the right choice for a dedicated noserider, providing the hold and stability needed for time on the nose. You'll find our standard and premium recommendations via the fin upgrade buttons above. If you'd like further guidance, feel free to get in touch.
What type of waves is the Heritage Noserider designed for?
The Heritage Noserider is at its best in small to medium, slower-peeling waves — the kind of conditions where the board has time to find its line and you have time to walk. Knee to overhead surf with an open face and a predictable peel is ideal. It's not a board for steep, hollow, or fast-breaking waves. For the kind of mellow, long-breaking surf the UK regularly delivers — particularly at point breaks and slower beach breaks — it's in its element.
