Piragua XXL “Arrecife” Bamboo Longboard (39”) — Smooth Cruiser & Carver | Limited Batch

A surfy, smooth cruiser made from Colombian Guadua bamboo + fibreglass — built for relaxed carving, commuting, and weekend rolls.

The Piragua XXL “Arrecife” is a 39” bamboo longboard designed for riders who want an easy, flowing ride with just the right amount of responsiveness. With a medium flex that absorbs rough pavement and a kicktail for added control, this board is perfect for beach paths, bike lanes, and everyday cruising around town.

Handcrafted in Colombia from Guadua bamboo (one of the strongest and fastest-renewing bamboos in the world) and reinforced with fibreglass, the Piragua XXL delivers a smooth, lively ride — without relying on mass-produced maple decks.

Limited batch available in Australia.
