Erik's New Love a 5'10" Twin Keel by Kipp Denslow



Erik waxed her up all pretty and stuck his stickers on her.

Yep, he made it.

Pulled it.

Kipp dropped off this board last week for Erik to test ride.  It was the 5'10" chocolate, lime green and white twin keel he made and brought to the AB3 Fish Fry.  Erik rides a lot of boards but instantly took to her.  So much so that Kipp will never get this board back. It has earned a spot in his permanent collection.

For a week I kept hearing stories of Erik killing it on this board. Lauren was cool enough to take some shots to show us. 

Kipp waited a week and then called to see how he liked it. He was sort of quiet when he called and was worried that the test went bad because he hadn't heard from Erik. Turns out that Erik was too busy riding this thing. Rumor has it that he brought the board in to his room like a little grom.  With that said I offered some business advise to Kipp.  Raise the price.

Living the Dream









Some of us dream about places like these and others actually charge
out there and live it. My friend John is the guy who actually lives
the dream. For the last 20 years he has been spending at least a month
a year surfing all over Indonesia. He somehow ended up with the
perfect life to do this... He grew up here in Encinitas surfing every
day and became an airline pilot which allowed him to get to Indo for
free. Over the years he has made friends with a bunch of Australian
bros... Here are a few shots from one of his trips.

Enjoy. David
