shred this freak show board in Ryan Lovelace’s
movie, “Almost Cut My Hair,” I quickly became
amazed, excited and scared out of my mind. These
guys had surfed the Rabbitsfoot in epic overhead waves, and
thus, the bar had been set. Terrified, I knew that I had to wait
for the larger swells in winter to really give the board a true
test under my feet.
Now while these young lads were carving turns and
finding the tube around the world, I found my style of riding
the board to be different. I mostly just spun the heck out of
it! That being said, the board brought a new spark of intrinsic
stoke to an everyday go out for both myself, the rider, and
everyone else at the beach.
