10'3" Single Fin, Classic Style, Reverse Rocker, Redwood Stringer, Pin Tail shaped by Jesse Timm.
Some of you may or may not know about the Bonzer. Check it. Malcolm and Duncan Campbell circa 1971 developed the original design. Ever since then the Bonzer kept evolving. Obviously the three fin thruster has had a strangle hold on the surfing populous since 1981 and most other shapes have gone by the way side. As of recently the retro movement to look back on the past and bring back the old shapes and apply modern developments to them have opened new possibilities of wave riding as well as the minds of the surfers riding them. The Bonzer is one such example of old being new again. Through years of refining the Campbell's have a wave riding tool like no other. The speed one can experience on a Bonzer is unlike that of any other shorter board.
It has what's called a 5th gear and simply excelarates to warp speed without the need for constant turning as on a three fin thruster. Upon it's first go out at Cocoa Pier it went well seeing I hadn't riden a board of this size in several years of it's inaugural run. I noticed the board caught waves great, projected well out of turns and put me onto parts of the wave I'm not usually attacking and then back out with ease. My Bonzer has the standard 5 fins, 4 close to the rails and one 7" fin in a box. I decided to get the side fins glassed in as it looks better and more than likely will create better water flow through the fins. When I flew to Peru to produce my film on the countries anceint surf culture the Bonzer went with me where I surfed >
