A “good waves” dream board

The Journeyman's Two Pack

Journeyman’s Two Pack

In this episode of American Surfboard Factory, Todd explains the dynamics of a hi-fi two-board quiver for the traveling journeyman, as well as addressing the quad vs. tri-fin question, poly vs. epoxy, some fresh new thoughts on green approaches to board construction, the benefits of building boards to a quantifiable actual demand, and why personalized equipment is good for the environment.

All Hail the Underground

An ode to the unidentified who rush it from the gut… A journeyman named Pierce hits the road and finds satisfaction.
Here’s a guy named Pierce from Oxnard who got himself a three-pack of fresh customs and went looking for barrels. Here’s what he found...All hail the underground, the unidentified, those who rush it from the gut.

Pierce is 5’8” 155lbs. His quiver includes two 5’9” x 18 1/2” x 2 5/16” 25L Superabounds and one 5’11” x 18 1/2” x 2 3/8” 26.2L Superabound Step-up. This model is the ultimate travel board for the barrel hunting journeyman.

SHAPER BREAKDOWN

A “good waves” dream board. Plenty of rocker with a consistent bend from nose to tail, and lots of concave running the length of the board. The best ‘trip’ board I make, or for when your local spot gets top to bottom.

Features continuous curve throughout with a steady-running single-to-inset-double concave
SuperAbound from the greek word hupernike, to excel still more

Superabound step-up

For gettin’ barrelled. More foam down the middle and under the chest to be able to chase down deep water peaks, and lower volume rails to knife into the wave face. Go get yourself the best view in the house.

SPECS & SUCH

Plenty of rocker with a consistent bend from nose to tail, and lots of concave running the length of the board.
