John John seems to have found a magic board, taking the top spot at the 2014 Quiksilver Pro France & the 2015 Volcom Pipe Pro on the same sled! Jon Pyzel sat down with SURFER to talk board design and working along side the Prince of Pipeline.
What makes this model, The Bastard, unique?
It has a full concave on the bottom. Single throughout it, but with a very slight double towards the fins. Quite a bit of curve to this board and it has an even rocker, which makes it really responsive and peppy. It’s intended to be ridden in hollow, juicy waves, but he’s also ridden this model out at Trestles as well. It has some concave in the center of the board as well, which helps carry you through the fatter sections of the wave.
