THE TAMAGO
The “Tamago”, or Egg shaped midlength, allows for both casual cruising and performance surfing depending on the surfer and the conditions. A “user-friendly” surfboard and wave magnet that handles a multitude of conditions with ease and makes surfing fun again.
Due to the fullness of the outline the Tamago catches waves easy and gets you in early. The rounded pintail design gives the board holding power when you need it. The combination of the outline, rocker, bottom configuration, and overall balanced foil make this a versatile model that works equally well in both beach breaks and lined up point waves. A great addition to any quiver for maximizing your wave count and fun factor.

THE AUSSIE V
The Aussie V was the start of my career in the late 60’s. I would strip down long boards and shape them into what was to become the transition era style board. This board has a displacement hull bottom with a steep V in the tail. The board rides fast and smooth.

THE TRACKER
The Tracker, and it's non displacement hull, was built for a surfer whose emphasis is good style in good surf. The Tracker wants you to paddle out at Rincon, J Bay or Hanalei, take off deep and go hard off the bottom projecting all your speed down the line and carve a big powerful turn to set it all up again. If down the line high speed fun is what you are after check out The Tracker.

THE NOMAD
The Nomad has a shortboard high performance rocker combined with a larger planning surface and a thinner overall foil, which creates a more responsive, versatile surfboard. The added fullness and width of the outline allows you catch waves like a longboard, turn like a shortboard and surf fast and loose, it puts the fun back in surfing.
Like the Dream Fish, due to Roger’s unique fin box placements, and when combined with his custom NVS fins, The Nomad can be ridden as a Thruster, Twin Fin or Quad depending on the fin setup you choose. Run it as a quad and it really loosens up, as a twin fin it’s a speed demon that will fly down the line, as a thruster it will allow you to carve tight arcs in the pocket and under the lip. The “Nomad” will improve your surfing while giving you the versatile options of Thruster, Twin Fin or Quad.

CALIFORNIA GOLD
“California Gold” … the “Golden State” … the “Golden Hour” … phrases that bring to mind perfect clean California surf. Whether it is long spiraling point waves, punchy peaky beachbreaks, nook and cranny reefs or easy carefree wide open Summertime spots, the new “California Gold” Model has got you covered.
When we move from “young rippers” to the “Golden Age”, board adjustments are warranted and necessary if we want to continue to surf at our highest level possible. The California Gold model allows the rider to catch more waves and have more fun while carving and maneuvering at the greatest degree possible without sacrificing performance.
As we mature many of us are not enthusiastic about moving from our shortboards to a longboard or log. Here’s where the California Gold comes in.
In Roger’s words:
“The California gold is a board I’ve been riding for the last year. Mine has long board dimensions from the center to the tail, but I brought in the nose dimensions to the point that it’s basically a blown-up California style gun. I’ve given it proper shortboard or gun rocker, so it turns really short and tight in the pocket for the length of board it is. I’ve been riding it in everything from 2 feet to well overhead.”
The key elements to the California Gold model in addition to the rocker are the curve in the outline, the foil, and the edge in the tail. The bottom contours remain the same as most shortboards, a double concave with some Vee off the tail.
Popular sizes for this model start at 7’4” to 7’6” and go all the way up to 9’0”. We’ve had success with both P/U and EPS construction depending on the surfers preference. Mostly ridden as a thruster, it is also offered in a 5-fin box configuration to accommodate quads as well.
If you want to reinvigorate your surfing, catch a ton of waves, surf with a more aggressive style and continue to make the maneuvers you always have, the California Gold model is your ticket to prolonging your “Golden Hour”.
