There was a time when surfboard brands had names that were either a shaper’s name, a location, or had a post-hippie tinge, like Serenity or Morning Star, or even Water Cooled, which is where I met a young Greg Brown way, way back when he was a grom. I can’t remember the exact moment I saw ROAR as a thing other than a noise jets and lions made. ROAR Surfboards instantly got my attention. Agressive logos β€” on great boards made by one of the, by then, most charismatic guys surfing at the time, in that same Greg Brown. Just as everyone was getting used to it…ROAR suddenly became GASH, and my first thought was WTF. Before WTF was even a thing. I knew behind everything was a polar opposite to Greg - in Simon Buttonshaw.

Here is our new minute, presenting a twin-fin we named Charlotte. Vincent (the shaper of Surfin Estate), wanted to make few changes on the model so he was going back on this board to feel her behaviour. Here was he thought about it : "The board is already sharp and really fast, but I think we can still add some volume by flattening a bit more the deck and enhance the bevel rail. I would also increase a tiny bit the lift to have more confort on the turns... Fins positionning, rails, rocker everyting sounds good to me!"

There are few things as exciting (and challenging at the same time) as making your own surfboard. Understanding the design and visualising how your craft will go. And then, of course, surfing it for the first time.
