Circle One Pulse 9ft Longboard | Beginner-Friendly Round Pin Tail Surfboard (Australian Board Co)

The Circle One Pulse 9ft is a beginner-friendly longboard from the Australian Board Company range, built for riders who want stability and an easy, forgiving ride. Generous volume makes wave-catching simple in both small and larger surf, with plenty of cruising ability along the way.

What's it built from?

• EPS high-density pressurised foam core
• Epoxy resin laminate — for lightness and strength
• Premium Porcher E-Glass fibreglass — for superior strength
• Crosslink reinforcement on deck and rails for maximum impact resistance
• Unidirectional full-length 4-ply wood stringer — strength and controlled flex
• Hot coat durable outer shield finish

The result is an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio that holds up to regular beginner and intermediate use.

Fin setup

Fitted with FCSII finboxes — the strongest pre-glass fin system on the market — and supplied with a set of composite FCS1-style fins (2 side fins plus an 8" centre fin). Optional FCSII fin upgrades are available if you want to fine-tune the ride later.

How does it ride?

A round pin tail and single concave running through to a slight V in the tail keep the ride smooth and forgiving, whether you're cruising mellow beach breaks or practising your nose rides.

Sizing

9' x 22¼" x 2¾" — 69.05 litres. Suited to rider weights of roughly 60–110kg.

What's in the box

The board comes with a set of composite FCS1-style fins fitted via FCSII finboxes. A full package with travel bag, leash, wax and fins is also available separately if you'd rather kit out in one go.

Who it's for

Beginners and beginner-progressive surfers dipping into longboarding for the first time. At home from knee-high to head-high waves, with enough glide and stability to make catching your first waves genuinely fun.

Rider verdict

A confidence-inspiring first longboard — forgiving, easy to paddle, and built with the strength to survive a season of learning.
