Todd , perfect board for Teahupoʻo. Thank you. 12’+ Perfection on the barrels. The quad...
'Tis the season for step-ups & guns.Todd & Nick discuss the ingredients brewed into an El Niño rich year of waves o'plenty, and the defined crafts tuned to enjoy every bit of power that's been on tap.

Heading to good waves? There's still nothing like the responsiveness of a high performance shortboard when conditions call for it. Pete is 6'1"/195lb and rides a 6'1" x 19 1/4" x 2 5/8" 32L Superabound, G4-71 HD, and Shalomic Intervention.
Going on a trip of a lifetime to get some dream waves? ... then get equipped with an 'Ante-Up'.Jarrah Tutton demonstrates. Tom Jennings documents.
For when the waves are getting a bit bigger and punchier than your regular shortboard can handle. The Ante Up is that little extra you need to get into bigger waves easier and maintain the balance of speed and stability necessary to rip on the overhead dream days.
The rocker has an even bend from nose to tail. The bottom features a slight single-to-double concave bottom with a touch of subtle vee off the back fin for drive and a positive hold through turns.
The deck is a bit more domed and foiled down to the rail. This keeps most of the volume of the board under the chest for paddling while keeping a lower volume fine-tuned rail for lightning responsiveness.
Thumbtails and rounded pins handle the power best.
All step-ups & guns customized according to locations to be surfed.

So stoked to have joined the @salty_crew family!! They’re a brand for the hard workers. The searchers. The risk taking, mistake making, watermen with nothing to prove. 🤙 #findrefugeinthesea @forgot2kickout @whereswahlers @proctor_surfboards @yeti_au @claylikesyeti …
Seek and ye shall find:
There’s this ancient book I read that says that. And so it got me to thinkin’ ‘bout all these people I hear going around saying (when the sun’s out), “It’s so hot out, I just wish it would rain…we need the rain y’know there’s been a drought for the last 50 years.” …but then six months later I hear the same people saying (when it’s raining), “It’s so cold and rainy and the water is brown, I just wish the sun would come out and things would warm up.” Hmmmmm I says to myself: what to do?what to do?? Then I sees this here picture of Matty-Mo from the southbay a short bit ago. Scoring in between rain squalls and wind whipped days; a small window of idyllic timing – waiting patiently, watching…and then bang a window opens and the opportunity is not lost in a sea of “only if’s”. Sought and found seems to have a nice ring to it. Which brings to mind another diamond I once read in that same ancient book…it goes something like this, “For I have learned to be content in all circumstances.” Matt Mohagen patiently content to be the only guy out this day somewhere on the edge of L.A.
