You know those days when it’s well overhead and sweeping, and you feel like you could be riding a board that’s about a foot longer and 1/4” thicker to be able to nab the goodies that always seem to be just out of reach? …but then, once on the wave face, you don’t want all the extra nose length of a true gun getting clipped by the lip while your navigating through the barrel? Whatever can we do?
That’s what this board is for: paddles like a gun, but in a compact length. Using a fuller nose outline, wide point forward, a swept back tail, and volume down the center and under the chest. Medium to lower volume rails to keep it knifey and responsive, edgy and thinned out in the tail to draw surgical lines with flow.
The one pictured here is 6’7” x 19 7/8” x 2 3/4” 37.1L …so in conditions where you might normally require a 7’7” gun, you would ride this; a foot shorter with same paddle yet way easier to stuff up tighter in the barrel and rail steeper in the hook
All guns customized according to locations to be surfed.
Experience: Intermediate to Advanced

It was on a dry and dusty wind blown street: When the the stranger clicked his spurs and waited for the tumbleweed to blow by. One eyebrow raised, he stared a thousand mile stare. Then he said, “Draw!” The #holyrollersurfboard and @petemendia like a peacemaker and a wild west gunslinger.
6’6” x 19 1/4” x 2 3/4” 37L does what a 7’6” gun can do, but in a stouter, more compact shape. Kinda like a sawed off shotgun for conditions that require step-ups and guns.
Just shaped it:
First of its kind for a local Ventura surfer named Brennan. It’s a step-up for a hollow rare gem point that roars to life every now and again. The outline is that of the #Holyrollersurfboard / #monstasurfboard i.e. fuller in the nose to roll in early, swept back roundpin to sit easy crispy in the tube; subtle beak nose; low volume rails to knife into the wave face while the lip pitches out; thickness down the center and under the chest to motor around a wide open playing field; a single to double #Jetstreamsurfboard hydrofoilesque hull; with parabolic inset compression chamber sluiceboxes with side channels that split off sustaining a four pack of glass-on bonzers; capped off with a small center box to hold a five incher...I’ll keep you posted as she gets lammed up, finned up and generally comes all together. I’ve found that by scalloping the sluicebox concaves to follow the outline through the midsection of the board and then angle them to a compression transition zone through the fins, creates this huge wide open sweet spot from under the front foot through the entire board, and the added water flow heading into the fins creates a dynamic vortex enabling the board to generate even higher levels of turbulent-smoothing speeds than previous jet stream / sluicebox combinations. It will be very interesting to see what all this does with the added leverage and surface areas of a bonzer fin setup as well. Keep ya posted mates...

This Holy Roller is headed to mainland Mex for some R&D on a new compact barrel board:
So we’ve finally settled on the name for the compact gun that paddles like a big gun, yet is shorter / stouter / thicker through the chest, with a fuller nose outline and swept back roundpin... to glide in easy-early, yet be able to sit deeper than ever back where the best view is without the risk of getting the nose clipped by the lip. For instance this one pictured here is a 6’6” that paddles like a 7’6”, yet slots in the barrel like a 6’4”. We batted around the names Compacto, Compactoid, the Killa Cali Hustla (which we realized is a bit too typecast to just the Californio’s), etc....amongst others...AND we’ve decided to go with: “THE HOLY ROLLER” because it rolls in and causes onlookers to exclaim, “HOLY!!!”
And it’s a brand that’s been attached to ‘certain’ folks in the past which has now become profusely punk rock; a badge for those who rebel against today’s filth mongers...they are called The Holy Roller’s. Get on board it’s exhilarating 😉 #holyrollersurfboard
Behind the scenes: Here’s what the prep work looks like when glassing on bonzers to a #Holyrollersurfboard step-up affectionately known as a #Holymonstabonza
The Wizard of Oz:
Jarrah draws some Margie’s arcs on a J-bay kine wall at an off-track dreamtime corner wedge...when walkabouts turn violent.
6’0” x 19” x 2 9/16” 30L #Holyrollersurfboard formerly known as the Killa Cali Hustla’ - this board is quickly gaining international accolades so we had to adjust its name to cover a broader spectrum. WWJD was also a question we had to ask ourselves.
