The Scarecrow: the fastest trim speed board ever
scary? no. this skinny-tailed-swabby is the way to go. Todd, after his first session on it, “…it felt like butter in a boiling hot pan…I think I did the best layback turn of my life on that board.”
This is the fastest trim speed board ever. Ideal for pointbreaks, this board has incredible drive and projection down the line due to the fuller nose outline and low entry rocker. The narrowness of the winged swallowtail makes it super responsive rail-to-rail allowing it to turn on a dime even if your back foot isn’t right on the tail. The bottom features an even single concave running the length of the board with double concaves inset through the fin cluster….this gives the Scarecrow perfect hold complemented by full tilt speed. Runs typically with two larger side fins and small trailer, but can also be ridden as a thruster; or with a five fin plug set-up to run as quad or thruster.
Ride this board six inches shorter and one inch wider than your normal good waves shortboard.
FIN CONFIGURATION: large M.R. style twins, or large twins with small trailer, thruster, or as a five fin options to ride as any of those as well as quad.
WAVE PREFERENCES: small to medium sized pointbreaks; knee high to head high.
AVAILABLE TAIL CONFIGURATIONS: single wing swallowtail or roundtail
RECOMMENDED RIDER TYPES: intermediate to expert

Hi Charissa, Comment: I am loving the Scarecrow! I think it’s my new favorite board....
@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.
