In the name of the Father, and the Son…
Do you think Jesus Christ shreds? Like, super aggressive John John style shredding, or more of a groovy, flowing Craig Anderson style? Is he the pro bro with a bajillion stickers on his perfectly white board? Or is he the annoying hippy throwback type guy trying way too hard to set himself apart by riding a vintage single fin and sporting a beaver tail? To me, the hair and beard were always a dead give away that he’s the latter. But then again, Owen Wright has rad hair like JC so what do I know?
Or maybe, just maybe, Jesus Christ is a shaper so engulfed in his mission of getting others into waves that all his time is swallowed up by shaping your next craft. I’m pretty sure that’s a more Christian approach than backpaddling groms and dropping in on anybody he sees on a foam board. Now, I’m not saying this board was shaped by the son of God himself, but it’s called the Jesus Board because duh, it’s like walking on water. So forgive me for trying to connect the dots here.
There are no videos of it in action or even photos of the board mysteriously levitating, just a handful of artsy photos of this guy walking with the see-through shortboard under his arm and a website with next to no nitty gritty details about the craft; what it’s made with (“super high-grade material”) or jargony performance specs (“The Jesus Board delivers a smooth, fast and fun ride”).
Either way I’m sold. It’s a freaking clear surfboard (90% of the thing is transparent). What else do you really need to know?
On another cool side note, Sea Thru Inc. donates a kids board to a local surf school for every surfboard sold. Gotta imagine JC is pretty psyched on that.
