Stoked surfer reports: this just in >> "Just wanted to let you and Todd know I had a chance to ride my new go between twice and I’m beyond stoked! For a long time I’ve been assuming I need a board with heaps of volume and assumed I’d order something similar this time, but I’m glad I took Todd’s recommendation and went with something higher performance.

It paddles like it’s got an extra five liters hidden in there somewhere. It’s loose when I want it to be, but locks in when I’m in the pocket and has drive to spare. Thanks again!"

Stoked Surfer Reports: this just in >> “Wanted to tell you how well the board turns, did steep drops, worked down the line, etc.  The board is great! Here is the thing, the part that makes this epic is that I listened to Todd and he listened to me. At the end of that, the shaper made what would work best. The only way to expand on what you ride is to try new things. If you have the time and the connection, the shaper can make that happen.

Thank you both,
Julius”

Have you ever wanted a fin set that was right in between an MR style 2+1 twin and a regular tri-fin …this is that combo. Utilizing slightly bigger based fuller tipped side fins than a thruster, but smaller than twin sides, and a slightly reduced center fin from that of a tri set, yet a larger center than your typical MR style center. A true “split the difference” set-up that gives you more drive off your rail than a standard thruster, with more freedom and less drag from a reduced center fin…but with a more toothy grab-and-hack feel than typical 2+1 setups.

A big congratulations to being honored at the for the legend that he is.

Life is precious, and Charlie your precious life will be tremendously missed. People called him ‘Malibu Charlie’, but he was also ‘Rincon Charlie’ when the summer swells had ceased and winter was in bloom. For a brief stint he was ‘Lune Point Charlie’ when a special ElNino lit up a rare gem for months on end in SB. Charlie was a point guy and you’d always see his white van parked at these points when they were doing their thing. Charlie seemed to just always be there when it was on…and I never really realized until today, how much comfort there was when you knew Charlie was there. His presence was a laugh, a smile, some dry wit; a simple man with deep intellect combo-ed with an old soul and childlike lightheartedness in the lineup.

He seemed to always be on a wave gliding all the way down the point, to circle around and do it again, quietly smiling as he paddled back out. Charlie loved surfing. He loved the beach, and he loved the point tribes. I met him when I was 12 years old. The thruster had just been invented, and everyone wore bright wetsuits. The 80’s was in full swing, but not for Charlie; he rode a 70’s single fin downrailer swept back pin ala Lopez and MP. Charlie was the only guy I knew who had a black wetsuit with a beaver tail and wore his hair long. We spent many many sessions together during the golden age of kiddie bowl…usually weekday afternoon sessions when the tide would bottom out and begin pushing back in over the cobbles. There always seemed to be a little window from the crowd then too. I’ll never forget the first time we met. I was a prepubescent gremmy and Charlie was, well, Charlie just always seemed to be way old…even though he slid across the waves like a nimble 70’s throwback. We were sharing some second point runners just me and him, and he paddles over during a lull, smiling he goes, “Ya working on some style today I see…”
…that’s the day we became bros. Since that day in 1986, Charlie has been like a kindred encouraging uncle, a wave share-er, fellow philosopher, comrade in understated humor and dispenser of deep belly gut laughter that cackles across the entire lineup.....continued in comments
