Board Demo // Recap

Great time on Saturday. The waves were tiny, but everyone seemed to be making the most of a perfect, sunny, December day. We had about as many people show up as we had boards, so that's about all you can ask for.

Here's Jake Zylstra on a Surf Thump on a little inside peeler.

Cameron Oden and Taylor Allee each shaped one half of this board. I believe Cam did the left side and Taylor did the right...

There's a good chance it's mildly asymmetrical.
