TSJ's Emma Wood Board Swap video and Larmo's "White Pony"

TSJ | POV - "Dan Malloy & Dane Reynolds Board Swap" from The Surfer's Journal on Vimeo.


I found this Surfer's Journal video on Monsterboards blog and had to repost. Beautiful little clip that makes me want to go surf and design and shape. Surfed many a day in Ventura and Santa Barbara with artist and kneeboarder, Russell Crotty, who got me into surfing fishes and experimenting with all kinds of boards and designs.

Larmo held a demo day at Law St. this weekend. Great to see some old friends and to ride the White Pony, a RK inspired Mini-Simmons. It was almost the size of boogie but paddled and surfed so fast. I've ridden some great Larmo's before but this one was an instant favorite. Will probably be the next board I order from another shaper.

I rode a 5'2 version of this board and easily got into 6 inch waves and skated full speed down the line. Blew my mind.
