g&s log.

9'2'' gordon and smith. shaped by tim bessell. good all around longboard. a little bit of rocker in the nose and tail. super fun and loose with a cutaway fin. it is the second surfboard i bought. snabbed it for something stupid cheap like 600 bucks 12 years ago. back before clark foam went out and the price of longboards sky rocketed to a grand. hands down one of the best purchases ive ever made.

this board arrived at the cavalier surf shop with a shipment of a few other gordon and smiths. after staring at it hanging from the ceiling for a few months i pulled the trigger. heavily influenced by brian schwartz, an employee of the cavalier in the mid to late 90's, whom i looked up to as a grom. he had a beautiful g&s so i felt the need to follow suit. one of my most memorable surf sessions was with him at small street in nags head on those two boards. waist high rights peeling perfectly all the way into shore. we surfed for several hours with nobody else out and came in to grub on some little momma burgers at the old dairy mart.

it would be safe to say that at least 70% of my surf experience has taken place on this board. for a long stretch this was the only board i owned. surfed it all over the nc coast and it survived a trip to costa rica in 2009. she is battered and bruised but i love her all the same.
