The Crane Noseriding Sequence

Here's a sequence of Ryan Gerard of Third Coast Surf Shop gracefully putting our Crane model (bit of a modern pig) through the paces on a nice little peeler at Rincon a couple weeks ago. The Crane loves to be ridden on the nose. Photo sequence by Mark Lucas Fiolka. Photos courtesy of Great Lakes Surfer Magazine. Thanks fellas!

The Piping Plover is currently headed north through the Mississippi flyway on their way to their breeding grounds on the Northern  Lake Michigan shoreline. Much like the board's namesake, this 6'4" Plover has recently made it's way to Western Michigan to bask on the waves of Lake Michigan. What makes this one special is that the customer picked it up at the Rincon Invitational last weekend and took it back to my hometown of Holland, MI where he lives.
