QUAD EGG

Eggs , discs & double enders have been around for a long time the Yolko is a shorter stubbier take on the timeless design. Wide point is dead centre, outline is a perfect double ender flipped nose to tail template . Flat rocker combined with wide tail & nose give you maximum area to lift & plane this board in the smallest of waves. Quads provide maximum drive & hold. Its extreme shortness lets it fit snugly in the pocket and turn effortlessly on those smaller faces.

ON TOP OF THE WORLD

I had the chance to make a couple of boards for Jo's Arctic trip with Need Essentials. Her 2 board quiver consisted of a 5'6 Medaka and a 7'2 Voile.

On Top of the World follows Johanna Brebner and Aiyana Powell as they travel to the far north of the planet in search of waves and an arctic adventure. The two trek through deep snow filled fjords in sub-zero temperatures to surf extremely cold but beautifully fun waves. Filmed by Ishka Folkwell with an original score by Headland, On Top of the World is a celebration of surfing and an appreciation of the natural world in all its might and beauty.
