Shelter Surf, Fineline Surfboards and the Green Genie

The last weeks sessions have been full of Shelter’s Introduction to the shapes of Brian Hilbers and his Fineline Surfboards. Allen Chalk, a friend of Brian’s, dropped off “the Green Genie” which happens to be a Fineline MP (Michael Peterson) model last week. We haven’t been able to keep it out of the water since. Here’s some shots of RT’s shore break session yesterday. Top sequence: Riding shotgun, to hard bank off the bottom in parallel stance. Look for Fineline at Shelter in the not too distant future.

  2. are there fins on it after that last pic or did he leave them imbedded in the sand? Rode the Casper, totally stoked on it- get Graham out on his.

  3. It appears that obi-wan’s success in the barrel simulator has lead to well use of the force fighting toob dodging.

  4. Rode it this weekend man 2x! Paddles like a long board surfs like a skateboard..It just might end up being the new daily driver!
