Hi Charissa & Todd,
So between grad school and work just killing me, I have had relatively no time to surf the Pipsqueak since I picked it up from Leon. Snuck in the maiden voyage at south jetty on a windy evening sesh over a week ago,
and right away I was hyped!
Caught everything I paddled for, and got to feel out the rails a bit with a few carves and bashes.
Unfortunately, another week went by before I could even think about surfing. Finally my school schedule maxed out on Saturday. So Sunday and today sessions 2 & 3 went down at dawn, with a light little combo swell action and some offshore dub.
Waves were not quite as punchy as I hoped, and the water temp dropped big time, but again, the Pipsqueak did not disappoint.
It paddles great, I was able to rack off a couple of roundhouse to rebounds, and a hit a few lips when they were there.
The board basically feels unreal,
even in waves where I would normally ride more of a fish or a groveler.
I can’t wait for that punchy head to OH day to really feel what this board has to offer.
I am trying to get back more into short board shapes rather than fish or hybrid grovel boards. I miss carving and bashing hard, and I am pretty sure this board is going to help me transition back to that!
I am super stoked on the board.
Todd is clearly a master shaper and a quality craftsman.
The board has a beautiful aesthetic, and has gotten compliments from many a harbor local already on both appearance and how light it is.
Thanks again and I look forward to picking up more boards from you guys in the future. Since the wind is light and I have the time, I’m gonna go give this sucker a second session ripping right now!
