The Invincible - Del’s signature model<br />

Nigel explains the design:<br />

“People think you need a big wide nose to noseride. That’s<br />

bullshit. There is too much drag. You want a nice, narrow,<br />

concave nose with wide hips. They noseride a thousand times<br />

better. That’s what we have done with this board.<br />

“The Invincible is a longboard designed for longboarding. If<br />

you want to go off the lip and do re-entries and all that stuff,<br />

get a good shortboard.”<br />
