Salt Gypsy Dusty 9'0 Epoxy Soft Top Longboard
Salt Gypsy Dusty 9'0 Epoxy Soft Top Longboard
The Salt Gypsy Dusty 9'0 Epoxy Soft Top Longboard is a smooth, stable and easy-paddling women's surfboard designed around effortless glide, early wave entry and classic longboard flow. Combining Salt Gypsy's female-focused surfboard design with durable Epoxy Soft construction, the Dusty is an excellent choice for learning, progressing or simply enjoying relaxed sessions when the waves are clean and inviting.
At 9'0 x 22 1/2" x 3" with 69L of volume, the Dusty provides plenty of flotation and paddle power to help you get into waves earlier and more consistently. Rather than focusing on aggressive high-performance longboarding, the shape is designed around glide, trim and smooth flowing lines, making it particularly at home in small to medium waves and long peeling point breaks.
Salt Gypsy surfboards are designed and tested with dimensions and volume allocations specifically developed for female surfers. The Dusty combines a stable longboard platform with a forgiving feel, making it approachable for beginners and progressing surfers while remaining plenty of fun for experienced riders looking for an easy-going longboard.
The board features a nose concave flowing into rolled Vee, complemented by 60/40 rails. The nose concave supports traditional longboard-style surfing and time towards the front of the board, while the rolled Vee helps create smooth transitions and flowing turns.
Epoxy Soft Construction
The Dusty's Epoxy Soft construction bridges the gap between a conventional foam surfboard and a traditional hard longboard. Beneath the soft PE deck skin is a thin wood veneer layer surrounding an epoxy resin and fibreglass-wrapped, machine-shaped EPS core with a plywood stringer. A high-density PE skin forms the bottom layer.
This multi-layer construction provides a more responsive surfing experience while retaining the forgiving feel and durability that make a soft top surfboard so enjoyable. It's an excellent option for surfers who want the confidence of a soft deck without giving up the flow and responsiveness of a properly shaped longboard.
The Dusty is set up as a single-fin longboard and comes supplied with a 9.5" single fin, complementing its smooth, glide-focused character.

Why You’ll Love It
The Salt Gypsy Dusty 9'0 is designed for surfers who value wave count, glide and flow over aggressive high-performance surfing. The combination of 9'0 length, 69L volume and stable longboard outline makes paddling and catching waves easier, while the refined bottom contours and single-fin setup provide the smooth feel you'd expect from a classic longboard.
Its Epoxy Soft construction is also a major advantage over a basic foam board. You retain a forgiving soft exterior while gaining an epoxy and fibreglass-wrapped core underneath, giving the Dusty a more refined and responsive feel as your surfing progresses.
For a surfer looking for a women's soft top longboard that can take them from learning and building confidence through to trimming, nose riding and relaxed longboard sessions, the Salt Gypsy Dusty is a particularly strong option.
