This is definitely under-the-table, and Randy doesn’t even know I’m writing this, BUT…

My favorite hobby, as many of you might know, is surfing, and I couldn’t have a better friend out on the water than Randy French!  I just love Surftech surfboards so much that I’ve GOT to make a shout-out!  Randy and his awesome team have created these amazingly indestructible surfboards that handle all my klutzy drops and road trips, plus they’re so light and responsive that surfing is always fun!  My brothers and I have all surfed these great boards, and Randy has been a generous, supportive friend for years now.  I visited the factory last week in Santa Cruz and got hoooooked up!  Here was Randy in the shaping room…

I ride a ‘9″8 David Nuuhiwa longboard, and it is MAGIC!  Surftech is branching out in tons of adventurous designs, and I totally admire Randy for taking the many leaps of faith required to start and sustain a company like this!

If you’re ever in the surfboard buying situation, consider a SURFTECH.  You’ll be stoked!!!
