I surf with it everyday since three years and treasure it despite it’s grand age, nearly 30 years. When I take a great wave, I always have a thought for George Downing. I thought you should know. Hope to meet you […]

Aloha Keone. Rode on the Japanese Typhoon sweet for the first time today, by your made for me Surfboard.

Thank you very much!!  Mahalo!!!   – Yasushi

Rainy Days Movie This board has the perfect balance of drive & release. It gives me power though my turns and quick reactions in the pocket.  Love this board from 1-5ft YEW! – Brendan Bradley
