Modern The Falcon buying guide
The Falcon is the centrepiece of the Modern lineup. It is a performance midlength thruster designed for surfers who want a longer board that still turns with intention, not just cruises.
Shape and performance
The Falcon has a midlength outline (6'8" to 8'0") with a thruster fin setup — not the glide-focused 2+1 single fin of a traditional midlength, but a proper three-fin performance shape. It turns better than a traditional funboard and paddles much better than a shortboard. A genuine all-rounder for everyday surfing.
Who is the Falcon for?
The Falcon suits surfers stepping down from longboards who want to improve their surfing, shortboarders stepping up for more paddle power, progressing surfers who want to learn on a board that turns properly, and anyone who surfs a lot of average Southern California beach break.
