Pro surfers are the most discerning customers when it comes to surfboards. Minute shifts in dims that are undetectable to you or me could swing the delicate balance of speed and control every sled must strike out of whack for a professional.
It’s understandable, then, that when pros find something that works for them after lots of trial and error they stick to it. Koa Rothman’s latest episode of This Is Livin’ is the latest example of that fact.
“These are my favorite boards,” says Koa as he gestures toward a fresh crop of nine 6’6″ Pyzel Next Step models.
