The 'Pedestrian Ship' was born for the 2024 STAB magazine Electric Acid Surfboard Test with Dave Rastovich. I was thrilled to be invited to participate again, and when I found out Dave was this year’s surfer, I put on my thinking cap (though it might have malfunctioned a bit!) This board was the result, and to my surprise, Mr. Rasta chose it as the winner. I can’t even put into words what it means to win this year’s test, especially since Dave has been such a huge influence on my work for nearly 20 years. I flew to Australia the week of the premiere, where I 3D-scanned Rasta's board in person to replicate it for you all here.

Pre-orders are open now, with options for multiple constructions including the Acid Test spec. with Flax & EPS, as well as everything in between.

What Ryan Lovelace has to say about the PS: 

This shape is a mix of thirds to me:  1/3 things I've known, 1/3 things I thought Rasta would prefer, and 1/3 total experimentation.  

The outline is a balanced and sleek narrow swallowtail geared as a balanced hybrid performance fish, based on some older curves of mine, updated for this project.

It’s low, flowing rocker is designed to provide planing speed, but the complex bottom shape takes that into a different dimension, offering multiple rocker lines nose to tail: the rail rocker delivers a smooth, continuous line for power and flow in turns, while a distinct kink and release behind the fin, caused by the channel exit, adds some release and punch. Meanwhile, the center-line rocker is lower in the front for maintaining paddle speed, transitioning into an accelerating curve in the back for dynamic roll and looseness underfoot.

Flanking the channel is a wide, flat plane for a responsive, skating feel, while the narrow central vee under your back foot adds control. It’s a radical blend of opposing design philosophies, giving you speed, power, and versatility all in one board.
