drifta-style






this was one of my favorite boards to make awhile back. mike came across t. fitzgerald's drifta 2 in an old surfer's journal and asked if i could make something along those lines to surf a sometimes hollow, racy righthander he frequents. hell yea, i'll give it a shot. terry fitzgerald has always been one of my favorite surfers to watch on film and a very inspiring lifelong surfer/shaper.  visions of the sultan's high style speed drive at j-bay and low pivotal turns on the north shore in 70's forever imprinted. if you've not seen "hot buttered soul", now's the time.
