This Weekend I went down to Santa Barbra to go surf some small Rincon. I wanted to try this Redwood Hotcurl Jed made for us to ride. The challenge was unexpected. To simply pick a line and set trim was not an easy task for me, which made it more fun. I managed to get a few and my friend Stephanie Vigiano was nice enough to take some photos. I let this fella Kyle try out the board and he caught a few as well. I had a really great time and a new found respect for the guys that rode these boards back in the day. It was defiantly not as easy as it looks.

I met this guy Kyle in the water. He was riding an Alaia and surfing pretty good on the thing. he started to ask me about the Hotcurl so i offered him a go. I wanted to see if it was hard for him as well or if i'm just not good at surfing a 60+ Pound wood board.

After a couple waves Kyle got this one and showed a lot of control. I sat and watch humbled. When he gave me the Hotcurl back I asked him if it was hard for him to surf. He said yes but i think he was just trying to make me feel better.
