The only place I've seen one is under Torren Martyn's feet but I would love to try one. Anyone doing these in the states?

Green 7’2 Proper(poly/PU) and pink 6’5 Malixi(Varial), both locally shaped by friends of mine. Both are versatile and can easily handle plenty of size. Great paddling, speed and maneuvering without sliding all over the place and being out of controlA733D483-F88B-45CA-9C9B-9C5E0FE9F6DF.jpeg6594B478-9890-4DCD-A0A1-8C5E1743E83B.jpegEA18C983-9F27-4ED0-87E0-021001038134.png03FF40D2-95CD-4FD5-AE4A-54E067704036.jpeg7BED18F9-F427-4F37-A9BD-FEAE11A6F27B.jpegD1639285-EEEF-4A44-9FBF-D7046C8C723E.jpeg620439BD-2798-405F-BDDF-F584D00A82D6.jpeg

The Doc looks pretty good to me and local shops stock his boards.

Email sent. Thanks for the heads up.

Nice boards that feel good under the arm. The Fiji and Massive have evolved from the original MOTE Tracks Twinny design by Simon Jones in conjunction with Torren M.

Very hard to come by but it seem like there are a lot of channel bottom twins with round tails coming on to the market.

ordering a mote was easy from socal. it took a few months but well worth the wait. foam and function is the rep in USA.

First of all, that that might be the most insane stretch of waves of all time in that zone. And where is everybody else?

Christian Beamish is shaping some boards like these. Couple of guys riding them around here. Haven't seen any in action personally but that was damn impressive.
