SOS officially welcomes Albee Layer to the team


SOS Surfboards officially welcomes 17 year old Albee Layer to the team. Albee has been riding the boards for the past few months, and has had great feedback on all the boards. As he gets ready for the ISA World Junior Championships in Ecuador, he is testing out a few new stringerless carbon rail boards, and new shortboards for the beach break conditions they are expecting. We are proud to have Albee exclusively riding SOS Surfboards! Check out Albee's new photo on surfline, riding his 6'2" Carbon rail LIFT model... Pic number 2 on:

Secret Weapon





I've been keeping this technology a secret for a few years, not wanting to share the secrets. I realized that you would have to cut one of these boards into many pieces to figure it out, and even then it wouldn't be the same. Having people try my own personal flex tow board, getting nothing but 100% positive feedback on my first 5'4 towboard for as big as it gets Jaws, I knew that I had to share this. This is as close as you can get to snowboarding on a wave, you feel no chop coming up the face as the board flexes to the contour of the wave. Check Yuri's new 5'10" bamboo carbon flex towboard. I can't wait to see Yuri on this board when its 30 foot Peahi ripping!

RE-Introducing the GUPPY



This is the new and improved GUPPY, made for everyday fun. Feedback from Albee and Paige has been amazing. "A shitty day of surfing is now fun!" This is Albee's 5'8" and Paige's 5'7". These boards are usually ridden 4-5 inches shorter than your normal shortboard and 3/4 to an inch wider. The extreme double concave and low rocker, makes this board fast and extremely loose. I have been making these fun fishes for quite a while, and just now people are wanting to go back in time and ride short and wide boards. I'm stoked! It will reinvent your surfing and open your mind. Come by the shop and order yours today.
