Just got the email.
Secret Agent is done and ready to be shipped!
4 months on the dot. Was quoted 6 months, so I'm stocked it came early enough to get some winter juice.
It's a Christmas miracle!

I like it. Just not riding it enough. Surprised there’s no interest. Mick recommended those dimensions based on my other fish being 5’9 and 5’10
I have a number of those boards. Good boards, buy too many and never get around to riding them.
What’s a Secret Agent? Sounds...secret.
Been loving the two boards I got from Ryan recently. The Oyster Fork is spectacular in good waves, but what has truly blown my mind these last two weeks is the Squit Fish. It’s so thick and wide that i can just pop it and get into waves early like longboard. Then it just flies around with so much speed and flow. As long as I bank my turns at the right moment, it stays under control and I just have to make sure my bottom turns are a bit more angled otherwise it gets out of control (for me). Flies through and around flat sections, and the sharp rails from the fins’ leading edge can hold a line perfectly. Really incredible board.
Traditional shortboard nosed asym.
I wanted something with a bit more length for bigger waves than the oyster fork can handle.
Someone in the lineup yesterday morning asked me, "What? Are you riding that board backwards?"
go back and search the erbb in 2004
you'll see what those here thought and joked about them back then just like the surfing world did to Jeff.
funny how things change over time when what was old and considered stupid now becomes hip
Over many decades I've accumulated half a dozen including an original 7'6" REX Manta, a 8'11" Gemini longboard and a big boy made by LaLa that steamroller bought and brought over for me.
They are very high performance boards for heavy backfooted surfers/surfing
with Jeff's bottom/tail/fin setup they have no upper limit
Lala (jon lalanne) is still making them locally on the big island with Jeff's approval.
I still have mine from the early 2000's that I got from Jeff via HIC.
Ryan's really refined the design and merged it with the assym but Jeff's original was burly and hardcore pedal to the metal especially the nose concave and tail/fin setup
Below are some recent shots from Lala's insta including and 8' gem and a new one in action on the west side. Hizon was riding these 20 years ago on the westside and in town REX had his followers.
you can see the nose concave, Ska8 deck and nose boat vee in my almost 20 yr old custom. And yah I did the double nose guards from Dave. Should've gone with red
