The Micro Magic has all the best attributes of a longboard packed into a small, easy-to-maneuver, performance-oriented board under 7ft long. Riders will love how the extra volume under the chest increases paddling power and find the full rails improve stability while maximizing float through flat sections. A complete longboard outline combined with the 2+1 fin option means riders can even noseride the Micro Magic, tapping into traditional log vibes. The option to switch to a 4-fin setup maximizes the board’s drive allowing high speed and critical surfing in the wave’s pocket.
Consistent with other surfboards in Steve’s Magic line, the Micro Magic’s rails and bottom contours feature a blend of progressive bevels, concaves, and hard edges. It’s safe to say nobody does bottom contours like Steve. Proven heavily in competition by Steve and a host of other team riders, Steve’s “Magic” features allow the board to turn easier, dig rail-less, and plain at high speed with less work. The result of combining all these features is a board that makes surfing easier and allows surfers to catch more waves, ride waves longer and pull off maneuvers they wouldn’t be able to on other boards. Being such a versatile board, we hate to say the Micro Magic will only work in certain conditions because, in truth, anybody could ride this board in just about any wave and have a good time. For those looking to marry the feeling of long and shortboard into one, want immediate performance gains, or are looking for a board that performs across all conditions, we highly recommend the Micro Magic from Steve Walden.

Walden Mega Magic Review May 22, 2022
The Walden Mega Magic review is one I am surprised we have not done earlier. We have had so much experience with this model over the last 15 years. It has been our best selling longboard over that time & has extremely good customer retention. With customer often coming back after time & ordering another size because the love the first one so much.
The Walden Mega Magic Review –
The Walden Mega Magic serves a purpose. Often older guys & girls, (but not always) have put on a few kilos. Or they have a bung shoulder or knee, but they still love to surf. This is where the mega magic comes in.
Built with much more volume than a regular longboard. This model paddles like an absolute dream, taking surfers back years in their surfing journey. Meaning great times & a surf froth that the rider thought was left in days past.
What The Riders are saying –
We have had so much feedback on this board over the last 15 years & the feedback has been all positive. Speed down the line & stability. Paddle power is obviously a huge feature of this board as the rider is paddling rings around the rest of the lineup.
The one piece of feedback that surprised me though & kept popping up. Was riders saying that how surprised they were that for the volume of this board. It actually turned & performed better than they thought it would. This can be put down to the concave bottom & for the fact that it is very light for it’s size.
Summary –
The Walden Mega Magic is a great board. It is available in Tuflite or Fusion technology. If you would like to know more about this board. Then get in touch with us or follow us on instagram. Link below, Enjoy!

Walden Performance Surfboards
Steve Walden shaped his first surfboard in 1961, at age 13, and never looked back. Eight years later, the native Southern Californian opened his first board factory/store in Huntington Beach, then moved to the North Shore of Oahu in 1972, where he made a name for himself as a prolific longboard shaper. While the rest of the surfing world was fixated on short single-fins, Walden continued to faithfully hone his longboard designs. Over the years he shaped for prestigious labels like Lightning Bolt, Local Motion, HIC, and the Channel Islands but it was always his own boards that set him apart. By the early 80s, Walden returned to California where he unveiled his wildly successful Magic Model with its radical rocker, downturned rails, and superfast Turbo Hull bottom contour.
With arguably the most advanced and high-performance longboards on the market, Walden was uniquely positioned to capitalize on the resurgence of longboarding in the late 80s and 90s. To date, Walden estimates he’s personally shaped more than 20.000 boards. These days, when he’s not mowing foam, Steve is surfing. Though he competed at some as a teenager, he returned to contest surfing at the age of 30 and has been a regular on the winner’s podium ever since.
In fact, Walden still holds the record for the longest nose ride in competition history with an epic 20.5-second ride.
