This week we have chosen the ...Lost Sub Scorcher as our board of the week, because, even though the waves have been cooking, you can bet your last dollar that we will be back to mushy, slow beachies in a heartbeat. The Sub Scorcher...(AKA...The Trashcan Lid) "I wanna board for 1' mush. Something really short n wide, but still a shortboard..... something like Danes board" -Kolohe Andino. The challenged was laid down. Starting with an old SD2: We squashed the dims to 5'5"x18.63"x 2.13", lowered the entry rocker and shallowed the concave through the center to straighten the rail line (for drive) and make it easier to lay such a wide platform over on a rail. Viola'! Our stubbiest shortboard yet, but it still carves like a real board. Kolohe wanted call it "The Trashcan Lid" because you don't need to go dumpster diving to get one of these! Think 4-6" shorter than a high performance shortboard and same dims as the Shark! Board shown 5'5" 18.63" 2.18. RRP $750


One of our staff, Adam spends a fair bit of time up in Bali during our Winter months. He snapped this shot of Koholoe 'Schorching it' at Canguu back in June.
