Coming' to the point for sure this Summer...Alaia-esque, but with volume, channels and side bites, rocket fast Farberow/Anderson design collaboration.

It's the thin board standing upright next to Josh Farebrow.

It was fun times..."surf nerd" heaven for certain. Respect for all shapers young and old for their craftsmanship, artistry and undying passion for surfboard building.
