“MIDLENGTHS ARE WHAT 90% OF US SHOULD BE RIDING, THE SURF IS ONLY GETTING MORE CROWDED SO YOU’VE GOT TO STOP TAKING YOUR FART TO THE SHIT FIGHT.”

THE IDEA OF THE MIDLENGTH IS TO INCREASE WAVE COUNT WITHOUT SCRIFICING ENJOYMENT THROUGH PERFORMANCE, WE CAN ALL ADMIT THAT WE WANT TO SHRED ON SOME LEVEL. OBVIOUSLY THE DEGREE OF “SHRED” ON A MIDLENGTH IS NOT GOING TO BE THE SAME DEGREE AS A POINTY NOSE SHORTBOARD, ITS JUST NOT POSSIBLE WITH THE VAST DIFFERNCE IN VOLUME AND SHAPE.

THE TWOFUH WAS INTRODUCED TO THE GOSC RANGE TO GET YOU IN THE WATER MORE OFTEN AND GET YOUR WAVE COUNT UP. YOU ARE NEVER GOING TO IMPROVE IF YOU ARE NEVER UP AND RIDING, AND WITH A TWOFUH UNDER YOUR BELLY YOU ARE GOING TO CATCH A LOT MORE WAVES AND BE UP AND RIDING A LOT MORE OFTEN….. GUARANTEED!

GRAB A TWOFUH IF YOU ARE AN EXPERIENCED SURFER TO CRUISE AND HIGH LINE TRIM ON THE SOFTER DAYS, YOU’LL STILL BE ABLE TO CUT BACK IN TO THE POCKET AND ENJOY NEW PARTS OF THE WAVE ON DAYS UNSUITABLE FOR A SHORTY. ON BIG DAYS YOU’LL GET IN EARLY AND GLIDE IN WITH A LITTLE EXTRA TIME TO LINE UP SECTIONS, BACK DOOR TUBES AND RACE PAST CLOSEOUT SECTIONS. THE EXTRA LENGTH AND FOAM IS TRULY YOUR FRIEND ON THE BIGGER DAYS.

TWIN FIN SETUP WITH A SINGLE FIN BOX, OPTIONS APLENTY! 4 CHANNELS FOR OPTIMUM SPEED AND POWER STEERING, AS A SINGLE THE CHANNELS WILL ADD DRIVE AND AS A TWIN THE CHANNELS ADD GRIP AND CONTROL.

NOTE ON CHANNELS!

YOU ALL KNOW MY THOUGHTS ON CHANNEL BOTTOMS, IN MY OPINION ALL BOARDS SHOULD HAVE THEM. IF SURFBOARDS WERE JUST BUILT IN A PRINTING PRESS AND STAMPED OUT IN AN INSTANT (I.E REQUIRING NO HUMAN LABOUR )THEN ALL BOARDS WOULD HAVE CHANNELS. THE ACCELERATION AND TOP END SPEED IS UNRIVALED, THE RESPONSIVENESS IS AKIN TO POWER STEERING COMPARED TO A NON-CHANNEL BOTTOM. MOST MY OF PERSONAL BOARDS ARE CHANNEL BOTTOMS, OFTEN A POPULAR MODEL BUT WITH CHANNELS ADDED. A LITTLE LUXURY I CAN OFFER MYSELF AS IM BUILDING THEM PERSONALLY.

THE ONLY NEGATIVE ASPECT OF CHANNELS IS THEY REQUIRE SPECIALIST CRAFTSMANSHIP AND MANUFACTURING EXPERTISE. I HAVE LAMINATED AND SANDED CHANNELS FOR THE BIGGEST LABELS IN THE WORLD, I HAVE EDUCATED MYSELF AND ACTIVELY SEEKED OUT THE SECRET TIPS AND TRICKS OF BUILDING CHANNEL BOTTOMS, I’VE MADE IT MY MISSION TO SPECIALISE IN LAMINATING AND SANDING CHANNELS, RATHER THAN SHY AWAY FROM THE EXTRA LABOUR I PUT MY HAND UP WHEN THE FACTORY MANAGER IS HANDING OUT CHANNEL BOTTOM LAMINATION WORK.

THERE ARE BOARD BUILDERS OUT THERE KNOWN FOR GREAT TINT AND PIGMENT COLOUR WORK, GUYS KNOWN FOR REALLY LIGHTWEIGHT GLASS JOBS FOR TOP CLASS PERFORMANCE BOARDS AND SURFERS, I WANT TO BE KNOWN AS A CHANNEL MASTER……PRETTY SICK AND TWISTED IDEA RIGHT! THEREFORE I HONESTLY BELIEVE GOSC’S QUALITY IS AS HIGH AS ANY CHANNELS BUILT IN THE WORLD. IF BUILT INCORRECTLY THEY WILL FAIL AS THE TAIL AREA OF A CHANNEL BOTTOM SURFBOARD IS SUBJECTED TO MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF TORQUE AND IS TWISTED AND FLEXED A LOT DUE TO THE FOAM BEING SHAPED OUT FOR THE CHANNELS. YOU DONT WANT A CHANNEL BOTTOM BUILT BY A BLOKE IN HIS GARAGE WITHOUT YEARS OF PROFESSIONAL BOARD BUILDING EXPERIENCE. ANY SAND THROUGH, POCKET OF AIR OR EXCESS PUDDLES OF RESIN LEFT IN THE CHANNELS FROM INEXPERIENCED LAMINATION WILL CAUSE THE BOARD TO FAIL RESULTING IN CRACKING AND DELAMINATION. THIS IS NOT A DIG AT BACKYARD BANDITS, JUST THE REALITY OF BUILDING CHANNEL BOTTOMS AND THE REASON WHY A LOT OF GUYS SHY AWAY FROM OFFERING CHANNEL BOTTOM BOARDS. LEAVE THE CHANNELS TO THE TRAINED PROFESSIONALS.

PS, IF YOU ARE A BACKYARD BANDIT AND WANT A SUPERIOR CHANNEL GLASS JOB…..BRING THEM TO ME! I LOVE THE CHALLENGE OF BUILDING THEM AND TRUTH BE TOLD I FEEL SO CONFIDENT IN MY WORK THAT THEY ARE NO LONGER A CHALLENGE.
