Originally, the Zeppelin was designed as an all-around board for a larger surfer. The board features a round tail with a balanced, fuller, outline. The nose and tail are both app 15.0 wide. The wide point is 1 inch and change forward. Center width is quite wide. It helps add a bit of curve to the outline, especially with the wider nose and tail. I recently downsized the overall width and thickness on the stock boards. I felt it need to be trimmed down a little...If you don't see a size you like you can always order a custom.
The rocker is slightly less than average on the front end. Semi aggressive on the exit. This helps with paddling and catching waves. Yet with the tail rocker being on the plus side it has a tighter turning radius than expected.
The bottom starts out relatively flat and the entry area has a little break. It flattens out through the center then works its way through the zone with approximately .25 inches of slightly concave Vee. Deepest at approx. 2 feet up. This gradually flattens out through the fins into a slight vee.
The overall volume is shifted slightly forward. The ride is very smooth, “clean”, and has exceptional range. Enjoy!

I love this board. Finally I’ve found a board that while it’s 8’6” at 225lbs I can turn this board like a short board while flying down the line making sections I’d never make on a lower volume board. If you like to surf and still hit the weights, or like to catch every wave you chase, but you’re not a classic long boarder, then this is for you. I love what Rusty has brought to market for those of us who’ve played some other sports and weigh in too heavy for most off the shelf boards. I also recently purchased a custom Yeti and both boards have vastly changed my surfing for the better. Thank you!
I might ramble sorry, but this will turn into your "magic board" and when someone asks you about what board they should get you'll always respond "Zeppelin" ad nauseam. In the line up I have been asked about the board repeatedly, honestly because I am able to catch a lot of waves and cruise/carve at good speeds, with average conditions ranging from 2' -5' mostly beach breaks. -one spot I surf is predominantly a long board spot. On the Zep I can sit pretty close to these folks and score waves and actually surf vs. the longboard cruising, moving around; which I got no issues with but to me that gets a little restrictive after a few waves. I have the stock 6'4" (43.9L), owned the board for about three years now, have 8 broads in the quiver. I'm 5'7" and 155lbs (full gear) this board surfs like it's lower volume and catches waves like it's higher volume. Lately been riding it as a twin fin, not keels, more upright with an area of about 20, this really opens it up and you can fly down the line. -switch it to a quad on other days which I also like, but boy the twin fin feeling! Just yesterday: 3' beach break, great shape to the waves, super glassy, light offshore winds, two guys out with me on longboards, we were spread out far apart and they could see the bountiful amount of waves I was catching and actually surfing, for the day it was epic. It got to the point where one of the two went in to grab his twin fin, which I had seen in his car on my way out. If you want a high wave count, with a good amount of performance, this is "The Board." Once you have the Zeppelin under your feet you will understand and you will be asking yourself repeatedly "why doesn't everyone have one are they crazy."
I acquire a 6'6 zep in a trade, and it's a revelation. I'm 73 years old, 6' tall and surf almost every day. I have a deep quiver, but seem to gravitate to the zep, mostly because it's always fun and paddles effortlessly. Makes Mℯ surf like a younger version of myself, and what"s that worth? It's an older design by now, but don't disregard this board if you're looking for a fountain of youth.
I am 5'10 225-235 and 48. I custom ordered a 6'6", the board came perfectly wrapped, ready to rip shredders:) I don't normally surf longboards, and with the zep you never have to. this board allows you to sit out the back, further than the kiddos and essentially reclaim your waves. at 6'6" I don't consider this a mid, but more of a step up for bigger older dudes. My fin setup was a future T1 twin + 1 trailer. At first i tried running t his a quad set, but found that the board tracked more than other quads, possibly due to its length. I feel the 2+1 setup allows for the board to "act" like a shorter board while retaining the paddle float that is needed to beat the crowd. There wasn't a single wave that I missed. specifically love the width vs thickness here. My brother bought the 6'8 a couple years ago and his wave count tripled. Zeppelin for the win.
I want to thank you for designing and shaping my board. I was able to take it out this past weekend and I had so much fun on the Zeppelin. I was anticipating a difficult time transitioning from my usual longboards down to a 7'5" but the board was just so much fun to ride and I'm still smiling from ear to ear. I also wanted to thank your team at the factory for helping my wife when she picked up the board. She was so appreciative of your team showing her where to go for pick up and a special thank you to Tracy. Tracy helped carry the board out to the car and put it into the board bag. My wife was so impressed with the team at the factory that she said she would go back anytime. I think she's allowing me to get another board so she can visit the factory again. :)
