Asher Pacey and Damian Wills Heading South for the Winter Lines...

Road Trippin - Gold Coast from Surfing Life on Vimeo.
ASL filmer Nick Pollet last week embarked on a Goldy to Bondi road trip with Asher Pacey and Damian Wills. With the car all packed up for the long journey down south to catch some of that amazing winter swell we've been having they didn't get very far as Snapper and D'Bah caught their eye just after pulling out of Asher's driveway. So the boards came back off the roof and they were out to boost some ramps at D'Bah and enjoy some of those long barrels at Snapper before finally packing up again and heading south.
Stay tuned for more webisodes of their trip...

The Day Tripper Experiment...

IT WORKS...!!!!!! Wow, after riding this thing over the last month or so, in waves between 2 ft and 4 ft from D'Bah to Snapper and down the coast, I found this design principal really works. (the principal being, you are a different surfer on your heel side to your toe side) Having a short turning heel side and long turning toe side, made it super easy to surf!!! It felt so good and so fast, usually my deluxe super twin is really smooth off the bottom but slow off the top but with the asymmetrical "Day Tripper" it snaps off the top and cuts back off the heel like my short board and being a quad on my heel side makes the turn effortless.

Kye (my 19 year old son) said the other day after surfing with me, "the transition from rail to rail is so smooth it almost looks mechanical, like a roller coaster without tracks" A carnival of fun...!!!!

This design aspect is truly thought provoking....the true meaning of customised...the variables are endless...from shortboards all the way through to Guns.

If you're confused just ask me any questions and I'll do my best to answer them...Darcy
