The weird and wonderful minds of Volcom never disappoint with their latest video release. The lo-fi narrative of Noa Deane, Mitch Coleborn and Ozzie Wright has them in search of a remote and mystic Indo island. What was set to be a fun trip turns into a strange rumbling of events as torrential rain, the voodoo of a rainbow and the ever eccentric Ozzie set the tone for weird and wonderful time. A soundtrack you’ve come to expect from the stone, fun looking waves and a good crew give you a decent reason to throw this on during your lunch break.
The boards ridden throughout the clip are very unique and true to each surfer’s ability. Mitch on an all rounder, Noa riding a small conditions model and Ozzie.. Well Ozzie is Ozzie. And as Ozzie does, he rides weird boards that are designed for god knows what. However he makes them look fun and easy to ride!
For Mitch, the all rounder of the Chilli Spawn suits his powerful and aggressive style. If you fast-forward to 4:27 the fine example of both drive and response are on show. Starting out the gates with instant drive down the line, the board grips at high speed for plenty of hold on rail in that manly slash before sending it skyward.
Noa however is in a league of his own. Any section throughout the vid you’ll see his speed is generated literally from the tiniest of twitches. Riding a board designed for smaller conditions the LSD Double Dish’s ability for easy speed generation comes from the overall low rocker that gives out insane control and responsiveness.
Ozzie being Ozzie is having the time of his life on the boards he is riding. The Vampirate models of the Batmoboard and Dead Sled compliment Ozzie’s style big time. The hybrid design of the Batmoboard incorporates bevelled rails that produce natural speed and planing, perfect for small conditions. While the Dead Sled’s progressive performance design features a flatter rocker that allows for quick entry into waves that he rides in the final tube-fest section of the vid.
So get ready to ride the waves like the pros - Mitch, Noa and Ozzie! Your surfing adventure is about to kick off, and it all begins with having the right gear. Imagine having the power to control your board, to slice through waves effortlessly, and to dance on water like a true surfer. Well, that's where the magic of your surfboard's fins comes into play.
Twin fins, with their iconic two-fin setup, are all about speed and classic cool. They'll have you flying down the line, making you feel like you've hopped on a time machine to the golden era of surfing.
Thruster fins, the most popular choice, offer an incredible balance of speed and control. With three fins, you'll be able to perform maneuvers that were once just a dream. Carving, slashing, and bottom-turning will become second nature.
Now, let's talk quad fins - four fins for the ultimate stability and hold. These are your go-to for holding a line through hollow barrels, providing you with an unshakable grip on the wave face.
And if you're seeking versatility, look no further than five fins. These setups give you the best of both worlds. You can choose to ride as a thruster for those challenging waves or as a quad for maximum speed and glide on those smaller days.
But here's the kicker: surfing isn't just about speed and control; it's a whole experience. That's why you need more than just a board.
