El Cadejo
Conceived on the barstools of the legendary Harbor Room by Mr. Davenport and Mr. Factor after one too many stiff whiskey cannonballs, straight no chaser, the "On the Rocks" model should not be confused with the marketing scheme surrounding the nomenclature "Log." "Logs" are for lumberjacks, limp wristed cutbacks, ballerina slow motion tip toes, and kiddie park rollercoasters for junior. No baseball bat rails or silly trendy dug-out canoe concave, yet it can noseride...just not in the shoulder. So, forget any "just the tip" action on the flats. Frontal action is a functional maneuver and not a donkey-show pony-trick. With rails so slippery in the water and the slide so quick, no lube is necessary. A beer gut-belly in the center of the board proves that the "On the Rocks" model leaves the light beers for the ladies. Yet, the thin foil may suggest that the "On the Rocks" model might also have added a third pun to it's namesake. Gouging cutbacks, back-breaking jives, el rollos, halting kick stalls, deep turkey-stuffed noserides and heavy enough to scare hipsters back to their hulls, the "On the Rocks" just might be the perfect concoction for you! Bring some CLASS back to the Beach and tip the bartender. Length: Nose: Width: Tail: Thickness:

A classic pintail with glide and superior noseriding capabilities. This board has low nose rocker for steering from the tip and a long drawn out middle with a kicked up tail for cutting back. The rails have a lip in the front to 50/50 pinched in the middle to a turned up roll in the back to help rotation and smooth out the turns and enhance the glide. ength: Nose: Width: Tail: Thickness:

The Stepdeck is designed to enhance turning and responsiveness. With reduced volume in the nose the board turns and pivots faster due to the decreased weight in the front end. Combine this with a parallel template and proper tail rocker and this board becomes a super responsive noserider. The tail has our signature “UFO” scoop to help maintain hold in the pocket while the rider is on the tip. Length: Nose: Width: Tail: Thickness:
9’0” - 10’6” 16 3/4” - 18 3/8” 22 3/8” - 23 5/8” 15 1/4” - 16 1/2” 3” - 3 3/8”

Logs... Before you categorized Post Doggerism as something, "retro," "single fin," "vintage", or the worst nomenclature in surfing, "Log," you must take a step back and look at it in "the whole grand scheme of things" (Tudor, "The Present"). To digress a bit...I hate the word, "Log." Log is what mainstream society as well as so-called alternative equipment aficionados categorize single fin heavy surfboards (even though most of them are not) in an effort to grasp the different approaches it takes to ride a board inspired by the the original Golden Age of Surfing, pre 1966. Most of these sud jockeys haven't a clue as they just have been tuned in. I was surfing with Precious, aka Chiz, at the point a few months back and we both acknowledged how much the scene has changed. Ten years ago, it was entirely different...thruster longboards, with their inspiration of bad 80's surfing, was norm. Now in our present times, families pile out of their family-style ginormous Winnebago's loaded to the "T" with Bings, or "Logs," for Mommy, Brother, Sister, and Daddy, and place these "logs" on custom board racks next to the barbecue and Bocce Ball set. And, there's nothing wrong with that. The cats I grew up surfing with, who were all gremlins inspired by the Second Golden Age of riding heavy-set longer equipment (Matt Howard, Tyler, Farberow, Wegener, Tudor, etc), were a bit out of the social surf norm."Longboard's Rules," stickers where the norm as a way to self identify against the then contemporary times thruster surfer. (Which, I can also say I enjoy... Tear Devils 2, one of my favorite surf movies of all time, before you quickly categorize me). But then again, most of the sand crabs who stamped their VW westys back windows with the "Longboard Rules" likely never had the ability to ride a conventional thruster. Before the "ride everything movement," which Campbell brought to the masses courtesy of "Sprout," with Machado and Tudor in that board-orgy, swinging, honeymoon in Costa Rica, longboarding and shortboarding were pretty black and white. Either you did, one...or the other. During this time period of the Early 2000s, Parmenter wrote a piece in Surfer Magazine, called "Dawning of the Morning of the Earth," that gives flack to the casual cats riding inspiration inspired from the original golden era. If you look at that feature, it shows a young Robbie Kegel, in full Tyler "test pilot" apparatus, waxing his brand new Tyler surfboard underneath "insert name," Pier. (I am guessing Newport) Underneath the picture, Robbie, with his swooping "Murph the Surf" gremmie hairdo, Parmenter says something in the lines of "in California, you expect a full backward-assness." This is the same Parmenter who rode a longboard in the 80s at Huntington pier in a shortboard contest to prove a point about how bad the judging was at the time in shitty 2-foot Orange County beach slop...but some how, he didn't get it. Maybe he was just too close to the original Hotdogging era, to yet understand? To tighten up the piece, there was a time period where Robbie being so inspired from the Original and the 2nd Generation Golden era, would get punched out on a monthly basis in surf line-ups for just being so possessed, so different. I believe there was a entire summer where young Robbie had a black eye. And then...he started Creme. To wrap this shit up, Logging is for motherfucking Lumber Jacks. Case to the point, I surfed with Tyler today at Tyler Point in El Porto, Ca. Tyler does not surf a log. No where does the nomenclature even register in his lexicon. Tyler just rips, postdogging it up by adding his own bits of flair from other places from his rich surfing background. Edfactor
