Maui:
– North shore sessions on the edge of rideable- almost too light, almost too big.
– West side sessions on Maui winter of 2022/2023- you could see the waves grinding down the coast and arriving to our section of the reef right on schedule 45 seconds later- the rides were so smooth (light wind hahahah)…
– Head to logo high days when the wind is dropping- most go in and leave the playing field open for the evening session….

Pozo:
– Even the hardest sessions- like blasted off the water in Pozo just trying to survive and stay out of the way and stick with it.

Oregon Coast:
– Nuked on a 3.7 for 2 straight hours at Florence (OR coast) south jetty (logo high waves, cold cold, alternating between freezing and too hot, keeping an eye on the others as we sail these hazardous spots…)

Any session where you just keep trying and then it clicks- next thing you know you go from getting destroyed to riding some of the best conditions of your life… so rewarding…

So many top memories…

– 89 liter quad wave, sails ranging from 4.2 to 5.3 on that board.

– 72 liter custom gorge single fin missile, 3.7 is the perfect size. 3.4 is super fun as well, and often the conditions here in the Gorge are smoother then due to less people own the water plus lots of wave’s well action stretching the water’s surface smooth between rolling peaks.

– Light but strong masts.
– Light and stiff minimalist booms.
– Light, strong and stable sails.
– True and flexible fins.
– A killer sliding bar harness.

When:

The magic light didn’t just switch on for this collection – it took years of testing, trying, improving until the light was shining brighter and stronger than anything before.

Those level ups in design are hard-earned and intensely satisfying.

It’s a dream to share this process with my team and also sailors around the world.

Watching our team improve on new gear is extremely satisfying. I can see when Marcilio or Levi or Kai is struggling with aspects of the gear. We speak of it, we work to solve it. When it clicks it is so fun to watch.
