Accelerator
This board is specifically designed to make small wave performance surfing easy. You get fast-driving speed bursts off the front foot and hair-trigger, tail whipping warp-arcs off the back foot. A wider nose outline and low entry rocker get this board into waves quicker and blast it down the line faster. A bendy tail rocker sweeps off the back fin making it quick and responsive in tight rail-arcing hook-turns. An even single concave runs through the midsection of the board making for a “wide open sweet spot” i.e. the board wants to go even if you don’t have your feet right in the perfect spot every time.
Right at the fins the rocker ‘drops out’ and the single concave goes deep….this creates what feels like an engine under your back foot. The deep concave forms an air pocket as well as a straighter path to compress the water through the extreme rocker of the tail….this air pocket acts like a gas pedal or “accelerator”…push back on the tail and it rockets through turns like a piece of ice on wax paper.
Here’s the dimension I suggest based off your normal “good waves” shortboard: ride this board one inch shorter, 1/4″ wider in the middle, 1/2″ wider in the nose, and 1/8” wider in the tail. Go with the same thickness just with a fuller, boxy rail. This creates a flatter deck which gives the board a springier flex pattern….key for that extra little thwang in small waves.
Oh yea…as a bonus, it also goes looneybinsmental in everything up to slightly overhead.
Accelerator L.E.
Basically the same overall design as the original Accelerator, but with all the entry rocker dropped super low. This works surprisingly well as the board gains a whole new easy trim speed and glide between maneuvers. This is something kind of lost in surfing right now, and I’ve noticed with all the high flying super rad maneuvers that there is some weird wide stance wiggling going on that in my opinion is looks ugly. ….so, without taking the freakish fins flying maneuvers out of the equation, but adding a smooth stylish flow of speed to connect them, I’ve dropped the entry down, left plenty of rocker in the tail….and come up with a design that let’s you just stand there on the tail between maneuvers….without wiggling or wide-stancing it….and let the speed flow roll while you set-up to mega blast the next vert ramp that comes your way. This board is best in your average waist to shoulder high, slopey and less than favorable conditions, but also goes mental in good waves too.
Skill level: intermediate to advanced
Type of waves: primarily designed for knee high to shoulder and weak, but it goes great in everything up to slightly overhead.

@p_fly hunts slabs with religious zeal. And when the Oxnard loc decides to dwell in caverns abroad, he seeks out the houses of the holy…the deep places of earth that God has made for those that seek shelter from the storm. Secret spot. 5’10” x 18 5/8” x 2 3/8” #Holyrollersurfboard …a shorter, stubbier, fuller nose, thicker down the stringer, more tapered at the rail, slab board that acts like a step-up paddle-wise, but gets under the hood and hovers deep on the foam ball for max time in the cathedral.

Ventura had a good run of swell lately, albeit pretty walled, but if you timed the conditions right there were some windows of perfection. Here’s my friend Jake in the right place at the right time. I remember taking Jake’s dad, JP, on an 18 hour junket to a secret slab in Baja when he was 15 to score empty barrels. Now JP has a whole tribe of kids of his own and they’re a full on surfing family…even their dog Chewy rushes the local beachbreak. Well done crew!! 6’2” x 18 7/8” x 2 9/16” #flyinlionsurfboard slight step-up
Jake is 18/6`1"/165lb

A time for Thanksgiving. God windows. Miracles. And a new lease on life. This year brought surprises. ICU. Blood clot in my brain. Every breath was simply “I am yours God. My life is in Your hands.” And here I am. And here we are. This family. I get to stay and raise our daughter with my wild lion. Todd took us to Mammoth a couple weeks ago to visit the places his Dad took him as a kid. He taught Indie and I how to fish. We caught a rainbow trout and cooked it up in our cabin within 20 minutes of exiting the lake. There was almost nobody around and we hiked and fished on the lake and literally went hours without seeing a soul. We met new friends, skipped rocks, walked fallen tree trunks, cracked ice, explored, gazed at fish circling our lines, crackled through fall leaves, sat by the fire in our cabin, played games, drank hot cocoa, collected small aromatic pine needle bundles, watched chipmunks dig for and find acorns then show them off to us, and deers graze past us. It was a little glimmer of what God has in mind for eternity. Perfect peace, perfect rest, perfect love and so much genuine joy. Our pine needle bundles are still releasing their fragrance in our kitchen and reminding us that miracles will happen. Reminding us to believe all things, hope all things and endure all things, because Love never fails. Thank you Jesus.

Two brothers that rip…and have rad style. Jonah and Jeremy from san Clemente go back to back waves on an average swell day, riding two different grovelers. Jonah riding a 5’7” x 18 1/2” x 2 1/8” 25L duplicate of a magic ASYM where we just changed the tail to a diamond. And Jeremy is on a 5’10” x 19 1/8” 2 1/2” #Monstapigsurfboard which combines the outline and rails of Da Monsta with a Greased Pig rocker and bottom.
