A board that has a feeling of continuous on-rail motion taking natural lines that run cross-grain to the natural pull of the water flow on the wave face; letting you gain drive by a board that intrinsically wants to go hard on rail and turn grippy yet responsive in the steepest parts of the wave.

The Flyin’ Lion places the steepest point of the rocker between the center of the board and the front fins, making for an extreme bubble or apex point in the curve of the board between the feet. Both the stringerline rocker, rail line rocker and outline have the majority of curve placed behind center and through the back of the board. Complemented by a lower entry rocker just ahead of the front foot, accelerated sweeping tail rocker and a jetstream concave cutting through the back half of the board, bisecting the added extreme rocker in the tail.

This creates a board with the feeling of a giant ball-bearing between the feet.

The entire concept is as if you took a reverse vee rail line but then cut through all the hull contours with one deep deep accelerating jeststream concave that reaches its deepest point at the front fins. A board that has a feeling of continuous on-rail motion taking natural lines that run cross-grain to the natural pull of the water flow on the wave face; letting you gain drive by a board that intrinsically wants to go hard on rail and turn grippy yet responsive in the steepest parts of the wave.

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

This is why we build boards the way we do, custom towards the individual and where they want to take their surfing. For honorable, hardworking class folks that are serious about their surfing and appreciate a premium experience that will take their skills to the next level. Everyone is unique and different and more than a height / weight chart amalgamated version of “what the pro’s ride”. We think there’s a far better way than algorithms and automating people. We believe in promoting individual excellence with unparalleled attention to detail. This is Alex from Santa Cruz on a recent Indo trip where he brought a three-pak quiver of Proctors. 

Two identical 6’2” x 19 3/8” x 2 5/8” 32.5L #Holyrollersurfboard and this step-up 6’6” x 19 3/8” x 2 3/4” 34.5L #Anteupsurfboard / #Flyinlionsurfboard rocker & bottom.

Here’s his stoked surfer feedback >> just in: “Todd and Charissa, loving the boards!! Got the wave of my dreams in Indo! Be talking to you again soon to get some more.” - Alex

Backhand carve in Da Islands by @petemendia 
6’3” x 19 1/4” x 2 11/16” 32.5L #Flyinlionsurfboard roundtail slight step-up in poly construction. This model is currently our most popular high performance step-up. It threads barrels, yet does in the pocket like a shortboard. Glide in paddle so you get in early. It has heavy concaves through the fins that provide for a clampy grip off the bottom that holds and drives into the lip with maximum drive. It’s snappy with controlled release through carves too. So if your looking for which step-up out of all my different shapes this winter this is the one for that overhead+ ripping range.

On this Labor Day we celebrate one of our labors: The newly minted #Velocimonsta2030 …it’s got the  bendy-between-the-feet ball-bearing pocket hustle of the #procco2030surfboard …the heavy accelerated tail concaves of the #Flyinlionsurfboard and the outline and rails of the #Monstasurfboard for a super duper responsive, drivey, rail-holding, controlled-releasing, buckets-to-the-sky, fin-wafting, don’t-gotta-think-too-hard fun craft. For extra sprang and thwang we are going with teamlite epoxy and high density foam stringers, coupled with strategic carbon in the key spots. I got one in the works at 5’11” x 19 3/4” x 2 11/16” 33L that hopes to be ready for the next poppin’ southern hemi…YEEEEW!!
