It’s happened to all of us: your favorite surfboard hits something hard. Maybe it’s a rock. Maybe it’s your head. Or maybe, if you’ve really screwed up, it’s the pavement. You feel that awful jolt. You hear that awful crunch. And then, inevitably, there are a few seconds where you don’t want to look. You don’t want to know what damage you’ve inflicted on your favorite sled. Well, since Mason Ho generally surfs as close to the rocks as possible, he is probably a little more used to that feeling than most. “Usually when this happens,” the Youtube description reads, “Mason’s Dad Michael will find the board in their yard and take it to our good friend K.O. for repair.”
But this time, they took the nose of Mason’s magic Rocket Redux and slapped on the nose of a Mark Richards X Mayhem California Twin — because sometimes you’ve just gotta Frankenstein things back together. And you know what? It’s ALIIIVVE.
