Made the first edition of Surf Accel zine and some limited hand screen printed shirts that will be available tomorrow at the Dana Point @hobiesurfshop@hobiesurfboards I will also be selling a select few personal boards and will be taking a few custom orders. Come hang - don’t be shy!
6’6 Gun Fish with 4mm PVC and “Elevated Wings”. Switching between LGs 5x5 fins and a new custom template I’ve been working on with Marlin Bacon (101). This surfboard is a nod to Pleskunas, Gephart, Lis & Max McDonalds E-Wing design.
Been in a nice flow recently. Working through feelings and ideas and how to transfer them to foam. Inspired to draw the traditional lines that were laid before me by the masters and honor them and apply them in my own shaping and surfing. Ultimately Involved.
Spent the day at The ShepShop (@shepshop2020 ) in July 2025 screenprinting some limited apparel on deadstock late 80s vintage that we sold at Daydream Surf Shop in Costa Mesa.
The sales we made for these limited tees & sweatshirts helped provide more documentation resources for accel studio. Thank you for your support.
Cinematographer, surfer, eternal grom, Jake Magee ( @jake_carl_magee_ )had some recent rolls of Super 8 film scanned and made some short edits for accel tv now live on our YouTube channel. I’d like to explain more context for even the two short casual videos but I think it’s better to save more of the in depth detail for another platform and at a different time.
The purpose of Accel is to be a collaborative platform and production house to tell stories and document surfing through a historical, raw and unfiltered lense. Thanks for following along ~ CG

Roger has been riding and experimenting with various craft shaped by the likes of Greg Liddle, Paul Gross and Spencer Kellogg to fulfill his unique approach to wave riding for over 40 years.
