Thriller
"The Thrill is Back.....Again" The Thriller started it all back in 1975 with the slogan "The Thrill is Back", sparking a rebirth to the longboard scene.
"Surfboards got extremely short in the early 70's and it wasn't cool to ride longboards. Moving from Hawaii back to California, the waves felt really small and hard for me to fun in. Remembering my longboarding roots)having fun is what it's all about), I designed the Thriller to ride small to double overhead surf. It's an all around board with thinned out step deck nose to lighten up the front end for whip turns and cutbacks, down rails for speed, as well as a concave
nose for riding high and fast down the line. The squared off nose creates a straighter outline to the nose, allowing the board to drive faster when standing
on the tip. This board has it all."
Tommy and Herbie have worked together on a high-performance model with the best of both worlds in mind. The versatility from contest surfing to free surfing, this board is designed to turn easy and ride the nose in small waves, yet hold it's own in in large surf as well.
Nose Job
The Nose Job is the culmination of 40 years of nose riding. Specifically made for nose riding in small knee high to slighty overhead surf, Herbie has won several nose riding contests on versions of this designs since 1975. It features a very wide nose, with a deep nose concave that streams out into the bottom for release. Down turned rails fro speed and projection, and an upturned tail for holding in the curl when on the nose. This latest version has given Herbie many hours many hours on the nose all over the California coast, from La Jolla to Rincon.
