SURF TRIP<br />
1. Mini-Sea Creature<br />
A QUIVER OF ROGER’S BOARDS<br />
At 5’7 this is one stumpy, twin-keeled<br />
mutant! It paddled like a dream because<br />
of the high-volume but was also super<br />
responsive when up and running.<br />
With surfboards of this high quality,<br />
finished with such painstakingly<br />
time-consuming parquetry, we<br />
weren’t sure if we should ride them,<br />
or frame them... We rode them.<br />
2. Twin Keel C-Wing Fish<br />
With a timber tail, this 5’10 twinnie has<br />
extra weight in the rear to help you turn<br />
on a dime. Rock solid and really needed<br />
bigger surf than we got to do it justice.<br />
3. Hot Curl<br />
You are so<br />
pretty... Can<br />
I rub you a<br />
little?<br />
Based on Roger’s timber version of the<br />
1930’s Hawaiian Hot Curl boards, this<br />
7’ foam finless was fantastic. Fast, yet<br />
surprisingly easy to steady and control.<br />
In love... Absolutely in love.<br />
