Riversurfing video

This is one of our mates at Diverse. Yohannes Terhorst or YOYO as we all know him. his local break is in Munich, Germany...! Thats right he is a riversurfer. His board is a riverboard... he has a double ender with fins on either end! some times he uses a ST model (stealth) with the back fin taken out too. The yoyo riversurfing clip is him in the local town break. the big riverwave yoyo is a “bigwave” spot that only works rarely in the fall. Enjoy the difference and appreciate your onshore sloppy surfs in the sea....

Sheridans off to the Phillipines

Sheridan Shields, our resident Ladies WQS campaign girl, is off to the Phillipines this week to defend her title from her win last year. She just picked her new boards up for the trip this morning and is heading over today! The boards are 2 by 5’9” x 17 3/4” x 2” = 20.2 litres one with a Rounded Square and one with a Pintail. Her other board is a 5’11” x 17 3/4” x 2” = 20.7 litres rounded pintail for the slightly better waves. they look great and will go even better...
