Amazing surfer on any craft but IMO no way does he look better on a thruster. Lacks flow and that effortless speed and his turns look a touch strained compared to his other 2/4 4 finned craft. With that said, yes, still ripping. We all have different shred taste I guess.

Album Surfboards

I see a fair amount of Albums in Oside and Trestles, but have never seen one surfed well - except by Victor Bernardo.
Funny, I feel the same with the short, stub nose Tomos.
Not that surf the area much but when I'm in the 805 I love how many local shapes I see (Roberts, CI, MM, etc.)
Campbell brothers are making a resurgence as well. Couple years ago I saw zero AOs in the water other than the one I was on. Now I’m seeing them quite a bit. There were always a few fruit cakes around surfing bonzers but not AOs.
One guy I see a lot at point I frequent asked me (this was a couple years ago) asked me what I was riding - it that first blue AO that I got too fat for - and I guess he liked they way I was surfing on it because it’s all he rides now. Good surfer, used to always ride thrusters. Ran into him a couple months ago and he said he’s got a few different sizing options - one “standard”, one shorter wider and one longer narrower. He said he pretty much only rides the standard one. He also said the first couple he had had glass-ons but he kept cracking the glass around the fin so gave up and only rides futures now.
And yes, he runs the TA fins too.
I’ve seen a few others as well.
J7 gets some love around here too. He’s still making boards
J7's look so good.
I'm a little guilty as I ride half boards from Orange County but the rest are build within 5-10 miles of me.
I would love to see how an AO or B5F egg go at the points.

No experience with the egg but the AO in point surf is otherworldly.
Jason makes great boards. I’ve had a few over the years. Firefly is one of my favorites. I should get another one.
insane. Ridden both in basically perfect ca point surf, they delivered.
AO is my favorite but it’s challenging to ride. The egg is just cheating
One turn in the entire video. I could probably make it out of the barrel on most of those waves on anything in my quiver, but looks super fun nonetheless.
I’m just thinking a 33.5 liter 4’10 twin fin might be a good addition to my EDC.
Do my best Mason Ho on the rocks impressions.
Very short flight away my man, and that's about as small as that wave gets this time of year.
