Monsta
I’ve created a monster….no, a Monsta…
This is the most popular and
widely ordered board I have been making over the last three years….it
has become most surfers’ “normal everyday board for all conditions”.
The only complaint has become, “I don’t ride any of my other boards
anymore!”
This new life form is the high performance great grandchild of the Lil’
Rascal….it has morphed, grown a bit sleeker, but has stayed true to
it’s roots of blistering speed through its heritage of a shorter,
wider, stalkier persona. Where this offspring has matured and pushed
past it’s predecessors is in the area of versatility and in-the-pocket
mobility. The Monsta keeps the speed constant….you don’t have to rely
so much on the wave dictating where you’ll derive your speed from….the
board just goes, yet has the hold of a normal good waves shortboard
when you bare some teeth into your turns. Where the Rascal utilized a
spiral vee contour running through the fin cluster, I’ve plowed all
those guts out of the Monsta and left one deep even concave with subtle
inset doubles running through the fins…as well there is also concave
running right off the tail block; we call it the ‘exhaust pipe’. Ride
Da Monsta 3-4 inches shorter and 1/2” wider than your standard good
waves shortboard.
FIN CONFIGURATION: thruster or five fin option to ride as tri or quad
WAVE PREFERENCES: knee high and mushy to head high and hollow
RECOMMENDED RIDER TYPES:
I use three different rockers for this board depending on the waves in your area:
- the v.1 being the flattest and best for mushy small point surf;
- the v.1.3 being the most user friendly from novice to expert and working in the widest ranges of wave types and sizes;
- and the v.2 has a bit more rocker and can handle the demands of
hyperactive rippers who can’t stay out of the pocket, or for surfers
who’s local spots tend to be small, but can still be small and hollow
at the same time i.e. the N.Y./ N.J. beachbreaks, Newport, Huntington,
Texas, Japan, etc…small beachbreaky kind of stuff…found all over really…

Forever Grom Breaks Down Da Monsta
What's up Todd, it's Forrest. Just got done surfing County Line on the Monsta.
That board is a Monster dude. I can't even…I don't know. It's amazing. I'm speechless.
I surfed it yesterday at Hueneme when it was like overhead and gnarly punchy peaks, like really heavy beach wedges, and it was holding and going so fast in that.
And then County Line today, it was like the most perfect board for it ever. I just wanted to call and give you verbal feedback because the board's amazing and I'm seriously hooked on it. I don't think I'm ever gonna wanna
ride a normal board again. It's so sick.
I just wanted to call…. and express my gratitude, cuz the boards' just so sick.
See ya,
