#1 Middle School Logger in the Nation...

...Mr. Andy Nieblas.

Andy came by today with his trophy for winning 1st Place in NSSA Nationals for Jr. High!

Stoked for you buddy. Who says D-Fins aren't competition boards?

And stoked to see you and King Rat going head-to-head next year in the HS division.


New Shirt #2 | James Kamo

Here's the second of our new shirts for Summer.

This one was done by aspiring artist of all sorts and current design school student, James Kamo.

Congrats Rat!

Aaron "King Rat" Cervantes just finished 3rd in NSSA Nationals for Longboarding, in the High School Division.

Super stoked for you buddy!

The board that he surfed in the contest will be for sale next week, because his new one is almost done... so if you've been waiting for your chance to score a 9'3 Log Rhythm (king rat) model, stay tuned.

New Shirt #1 | Keiron 'Seamouse' Lewis

Here's the first of our new t-shirts for Summer... designed by our newly Australian-dwelling, formerly U.K.-dwelling friend, Seamouse.

The warmer waters must be doing good things for his creativity. (And probably his surfing too)

We're very, very stoked on this one, and you will be too.

This shirt is now available in the shop and on the online store.
