A long time ago I had a friend tell me “You’ve never really surfed a Riot boat until you’ve had it on a big green wave.” So when I got my brand spanking new Astro I hoped in the car and rallied up the the legendary wave to give the boat a proper test. One the way I met up with my old friend and former World Class student Fred Norquist and we spent a few glorious days as the only ones in the eddy.
