Modern model guide
TheFalconis the centrepiece of the Modern lineup and the majority of our Modern inventory — available in a range of sizes. It is a performance midlength thruster available in 7'0"–7'6" in FCS II and Futures. The Falcon is designed for surfers who want a midlength with genuine performance capability — it turns well for its size and paddles early without feeling like a funboard. A strong choice for surfers stepping down from a shortboard who want more wave count, or progressing surfers who want to improve their surfing on a longer board.
TheDouble Wideand Double Wide X2 are wider, more volume-forward midlength shapes — more forgiving than the Falcon and better suited for surfers who want an easy-paddling everyday board. The Love Child is a 2+1 or single-quad midlength for surfers who want more glide and trim rather than tight performance turns.
The Highline 2.0 is Modern's performance shortboard — available in PU (ES stringerless epoxy) and standard construction in 6'0"–6'9". The ES version uses an epoxy soft deck construction (hard epoxy bottom, foam deck and rails) — more durable and forgiving than standard fiberglass with similar performance. The Retro and Golden Rule are Modern's longboard shapes, running single fin setups.
Modern construction — PU, epoxy, and ES
Modern boards come in several constructions. Standard fiberglass (PU) is the most common across the midlength range. The Highline 2.0 ES uses epoxy stringerless construction with a soft foam deck and rails — hard epoxy bottom for performance, foam surface for durability and comfort. Always match your repair resin to the board's construction — epoxy resin for epoxy boards, polyester for PU. Browsesurfboard repair kits.

Modern FAQ
What is the best Modern board for a progressing surfer?
The Falcon is the strongest all-around choice — performance midlength that paddles well and turns well without being a pure funboard. If you want more volume and forgiveness, compare the Double Wide.
What is the Modern Highline 2.0 ES construction?
The ES (epoxy stringerless) version has a hard epoxy bottom with a soft foam deck and rails laid over the top. More durable than traditional fiberglass and more comfortable for longer sessions, while still surfing like a proper shortboard.
