Retro-Inspired Long Fish Design
The Lewis Traveler takes the fun, speed-oriented character of a retro fish and stretches it into a highly versatile 7'11" platform. The additional length provides noticeably more paddle power and glide than a traditional fish while retaining the free-flowing character that makes twin-fin surfing so enjoyable.
At 21 1/2" wide and 2 7/8" thick, the Traveler provides a substantial, stable platform underfoot. The generous dimensions make it user friendly and help the board carry momentum through slower sections while maintaining the streamlined feel of a long fish.
User-Friendly & Easy to Surf
The Traveler is designed to make surfing easier rather than more complicated. Its added length helps with paddling and early wave entry, while the generous width and thickness provide stability and flotation once you're on your feet.
For surfers moving down from a longboard, it offers a more maneuverable alternative without sacrificing too much paddle power. For shortboard surfers, it provides an opportunity to slow things down, catch waves earlier, and explore longer, more relaxed lines.
A Versatile Cruiser
Versatility is at the heart of the Traveler design. This is the kind of board that can serve as a go-to cruiser when the goal is simply to catch waves and have fun. Its combination of length, foam, and twin-fin speed makes it well suited to a broad range of everyday surf.
On softer waves, the added rail line and generous dimensions help maintain momentum. When the wave provides more push, the twin-fin configuration allows the board to open up and draw fast, flowing lines across the face.
Travel-Worthy Design
The Lewis Traveler lives up to its name with a design intended to cover a lot of bases. Rather than bringing a highly specialized board that only works in a narrow range of conditions, a versatile long fish can provide the paddle power, speed, and adaptability needed for a variety of waves.
For a surfer looking to simplify the quiver for a road trip or surf getaway, the Traveler offers a compelling combination of easy wave catching, cruising ability, and twin-fin performance.
Futures Twin-Fin Setup
A Futures twin-fin setup keeps the Traveler fast and uncomplicated. Twin fins are known for generating excellent down-the-line speed while providing a freer, more flowing sensation than a conventional thruster.
On a 7'11" platform, that twin-fin character combines with a longer rail line to encourage smooth arcs, effortless speed, and relaxed surfing. Fins are not included, allowing you to select a Futures twin-fin set that matches your preferred feel.
Polyester Construction
The Lewis Traveler features traditional polyester construction, complementing its retro-inspired approach. The familiar PU/poly feel pairs naturally with a long fish designed around momentum, rail engagement, and smooth transitions.
How It Surfs
Expect the Lewis Traveler to emphasize glide, speed, trim, and flowing turns. The 7'11" length helps the board paddle efficiently and enter waves early, while the twin-fin setup provides the freedom to accelerate and cruise down the line without requiring constant pumping.
Rather than surfing it like a high-performance shortboard, the Traveler rewards clean positioning and smooth inputs. Set a line, let the board run, and use its length and natural speed to connect sections with an easy, retro-inspired approach.
Ideal Conditions & Skill Level
The Lewis Traveler is a versatile option for small to medium surf and a variety of everyday conditions. Its user-friendly dimensions can benefit surfers looking for additional stability and paddle power, while experienced riders can enjoy the unique speed and flow of an oversized twin-fin fish.
