What's up

Team Edit: Dumpster Diver 2 Watch some of CI's leading Team Riders in a purely surf action "TEAM EDIT" for the Dumpster Diver 2. The idea for this board came when Dane was riding his original Dumpster Diver while filming "Out of the Rafters" edit for Chapter 11 last year. He was was tripping out how how tiny and short the Dumpster Diver felt and wanted to build a longer - modernized version that still tapped into the magic of the original. The DD2 has a wider nose and tail, more nose and tail rocker, and a more subtle single concave. These updates, among other tweaks, allow the board to excel in a wider range of conditions and letting your rip as hard as you think you do. Dane also made a special set of fins for the board, that will work well in other designs if you like that slightly 2+1 feel. Ride 1" shorter than your Happy Everyday.

G Skate Demo Tapes: Australia The G Skate Demo Tapes' Australia edition follows Pat Gudauskas for a week as he meets up and surfs with fellow CI Teamriders Wade Goodall, Jordy Lawler and Kalani Ball. They lucked into week of cooking surf while all riding the same design Pat had worked closely with his brother (Dane and Tanner) and Britt Merrick. Some opted for Spine-Tek construction for that added pop and performance through turns. For the Oz boys it was their first time riding this new design, and the range of "very good" to "good average" surf allowed them to feel out a range of possibilities with this shorter railed design. As you'll see, this skatey style board allowed them to draw some very creative lines at high speeds. This edit captures the radical surfing that went down during those sessions. The goal of the G Skate project between the G Bros and Britt was to create something fresh feeling that turned well in good surf but skated with ease through the not-so-good stuff. There was one major stipulation during its development: the G Skate had to still perform at the highest levels possible. They achieved this by shortening their typical shortboard rail line by 5” and adding curves and contours in key places that would keep them on top of the water and not hinder their turns in any way. Adding a 2 + 1 (twin plus trailer) fin set-up tied the whole concept together. The G Skate has a lot of get up and go speed thanks to its light single to double concave, low entry rocker, wide point forward—and its contemporary shortboard rails provide all the precision and control you could ever want. This stoke-infused collaboration also yielded an all-new Merrick / Gudauskas 2 + 1 fin set for the G Skate, and they also found that the AMT (2 + 1) fin set up works very well. The purpose of this twin plus trailer fin set-up was to offer the beautiful “free feel” of a twinnie yet have the refined control of a thruster—which is critical in creating a board that accommodates the broad spectrum of approaches between all three G Bros. For those that prefer traditional thruster set-ups, their favorite 3-fin set will work well in this design—giving surfers twice the options and value. The G Skate serves as a strong utility piece in any quiver where fun and performance are the goal. Ride this board 3” to 6” shorter and the same thickness as your CI Pro.
