The Duke is the spear of my big board catalogue. It goes without saying how of this line is devoted (and dedicated) to the work of Skip Frye, Dave Parmenter and even Josh Hall. However, unlike, the names and their surfscapes, the Duke (and it’s companions) are for waves few of these people would surf. These are not for outside bombies, oily outer reefs, or even a series of reefs requires “safe passage.” If you need to know, east coast bad waves are bad- like real bad. Therefore, the Duke & others are here to enable every morsel of swell offered. It should also be noted the kind of small waves these board accel in. Again, we don’t surf The Cove at Rincon or the insiders at the ‘Bu. Our small waves are vertical and relentllessly fast (makeable closeouts). These boards and meant to get up and go. Because of this, they are hard to ride and untamable- by deigsn. I often fantize about a seasonal tag limit for making them. They require someone of sound mind (and body). If interested, reach out! Remember, with big board, come big responsibilities.
