“Your Own Drum” – a short film by @katinusa — is OUT NOW on Katin’s YouTube channel. Link in bio.   Congrats to @jamessarandis and  @nicholaschalmers  on this killer little surf film. And bravo to our incredibly talented Katin team that delivered some a-plus surfing: @victorbernard0 @zack_floress @greysonmessier @saxon___wilson @gato_son @tomnnycoleman . Also thanks to everyone that came out to our screenings!   Looking forward to the next one boys, but can we go somewhere that is less of a meat grinder? Had a few too many rag doll endings with some unnervingly close trips around those rocks! Board is a custom dims @cisurfboards Mid Twin: 7’1 x 21 1/4” x 2 15/16” shaped by @mike_walter

There are two dozen songs that make up a kind of surfing soundtrack for me. Not songs to get “amped” before paddling out. I’m not wired that way. More guided by songs that feel like surfing does, at least to the ear and the way a wave wants to be ridden. These tracks can sync up with a pre- or post-surf vibe, or even still tap into that feeling after weeks away from the water. Hard to explain, but there’s a rhythm to them: flow, timing, patience. The same things that make a good ride feel right. The Surfer’s Journal recently asked about my all-time favorite album. Surprisingly hard to answer. How do you choose one when perfect albums are rare and the reality is I’m mostly nodding along to cherry-picked mix tapes, so to speak? They’ll share the answer soon, but this track is a hint of where I landed. For me it ties back to a pivotal year, experiencing freedom and spreading those little wings at age 20. Fans of the music will notice it appeared on two different albums a couple years apart. What about you? What’s your favorite record, and why? Always hunting for hidden treasures that surprise. Hundreds of thousands of tracks still out there to be experienced and plug into that 24-song playlist I’ve carried for years. Easy to get stuck in a loop, but when a 30-, 40-, or 50-year-old track hits like it was recorded last week, it really does delight. Clips by @jasonbaffafilms @rhack

The CI Noserider came from countless hours spent with Wayne Rich: a true master in every sense. You’d be hard-pressed to find someone with deeper experience and understanding of what goes into building a world-class surfboard, and I’m incredibly grateful he chose to share that knowledge with us. Thanks, @waynerichsurfboards , for your generosity, guidance, and for bringing me and the crew along in the process. After wrapping up the CI Log collaboration with Wayne, we went straight back to work chasing its natural counterpart—a dedicated noserider to pair with that pocket-rocket log I still love to this day. The result is a flawless-looking beauty that helps you easily maximize time on the nose while still performing off the tail. Every curve and contour reflects a high level of experience that simply can’t be rushed or faked. Rounding out this collaboration Wayne worked with @true_ames to create the CI Noserider fin that was R&D tested on this Noserider board design — I’ve been told by many it also goes great in their noserider boards from other shapers. If you’re curious to check one out, come by Camp Shred in Cardiff this weekend. I’ll be there with a full lineup of Noserider and Log demos, including my personals. In fact, we will also have plenty of Mids, m23s and our other shortboards like the Mikey Shorty and our soon to be released step down the Solution. See you there. images by @jasonbaffafilms @rhack @seanlesh and myself.

Gave this Mid Twin for @gato_son a bit of a haircut to fit better in the barrel. 6’8 x 20 3/8” x 2 11/16” Runs well with the BMT template for hold and drive, but we’ll keep experimenting with something leaner when the face opens up. 🎥 @enrightdigital @cisurfboards @katinusa #ciMidTwin

@gato_son is the latest BTS subject with @lograp (on YouTube)—life update and assorted quiver talk. Been stoked on collaborating and dialing in his quiver since coming aboard last September. Gato is one of the most adaptable surfers I’ve seen. Proud to be backing him at CI. Head over to @lograp ’s YouTube and check out his program. @cisurfboards @katinusa
