G&S X Thomas Longboard 9'6"

Thomas x GS is designed for the surfer who loves traditional logs and noseriding but wants a bit more responsiveness off the tail—a little more squirt, you might say. It’s an accessible log that blends classic style with modern performance.

Key Features:

- Subtle adjustments to our signature rocker

- Slightly pulled-in square tail

- A touch of tucked edge in the last 4–5 inches

- Glassed-in fin

Hear from the shaper about our new collaboration board with Thomas Surfboards:

"I made some subtle adjustments to our typical rocker, and chose to use a slightly pulled in square tail, with a hint of tucked edge in the last 4-5 inches, which makes for a super lively feel off your back foot. It doesn't go as hard on rail as a 2+1, but you can definitely carve this thing. More than that though, I like how responsive it is, particularly when I'm surfing the beachies, where it's a bit more back and forth then down the line. We're used to going down the line a lot here on the Noosa points, but for the most part we surf the Groyne or the open beaches, and in those cases the boards ability to redirect and reposition in the pocket makes it a real winner in my eyes. I'm chuffed too with how well it works on the nose, the medium blended concave into a flat bottom means you're able to use the rocker to push through noserides, and you get this cool lift even in sloppy sections.

It's a go-to in any and all conditions from onshore junk to perfect points."

Surfboard FAQs

What makes Gordon & Smith surfboards special?

Gordon & Smith is one of the most iconic names in surfboard shaping - Larry Gordon and Floyd Smith started making boards together in the mid-1950s and built a brand with worldwide recognition. G&S is now exclusively part of the Golden Breed family in Australia. When you're riding a G&S, you're riding 70 years of shaping heritage.

Can I buy a G&S surfboard online?

Our surfboards are available for in-store pickup at our Noosa Heads and Byron Bay locations. Because every board is a premium product, we prefer to get it into your hands personally so you can check it over and we can make sure you're stoked. Contact us to check availability and we'll hold one for you.

Can you ship a surfboard to me?

Surfboards require specialist freight due to their size and fragility - standard couriers won't cut it. We can connect you with our trusted surf freight partners who know how to get a board to your door safely. Get in touch and we'll sort out the best shipping option for your location.

How do I know which board is right for me?

Give us a call or drop into one of our stores - our team can talk you through the range based on your experience level, the waves you're riding, and what you're looking for. Whether you're a longboard cruiser or looking for something with a bit more performance, the G&S range covers a wide spread of shapes and sizes.

Are Gordon & Smith boards made in Australia?

G&S boards available through Golden Breed are shaped and finished by experienced craftsmen. Each board carries the same commitment to quality that Larry Gordon and Floyd Smith built their reputation on. These aren't mass-produced pop-outs - they're proper surfboards made with proper care.

Do you offer surfboard hire?

Yes - we offer board hire at our Noosa Heads and Byron Bay stores. It's a great way to get in the water if you're visiting, or to try a different style of board before committing to a purchase. Check our Noosa Board Hire and Byron Bay Board Hire pages for details.

What's the history behind Gordon & Smith?

Larry Gordon and Floyd Smith started surfing and shaping together in California in the mid-1950s. They built G&S into one of the most respected surf and skate brands in the world. Floyd brought the brand to Australia in 1965, and it was run by the Wilson family for decades before Golden Breed acquired the Australian trademark in 2015. Two legendary surf brands, one family.

Why do some styles sell out so fast?

Honestly? Because we don't overproduce. When you see something you love - our Floyd, ringer tees, bucket hats - they go quick because we make limited runs of quality pieces rather than flooding the market with endless inventory. We restock our cult classics regularly, but if you're eyeing something, don't sleep on it. That's not a sales pitch, that's just how it goes when you're not mass-producing throwaway fashion.
