Description:
The “HP” by our team rider and shaper Isaac Wood, was originally designed for the ultimate performance experience.
The “HP” was the board Isaac rode while on tour.
Built for stronger waves, and abilities to nose ride, this board was meant to have extra action from the tail.
This model has the most rocker out of all our models and is positioned so that there is not any pushing of water. Added rocker allows the board to fit in tighter sections, as well as allowing the nose to be free and clear when hitting the lip or doing full wrap cutbacks.
This “HP” has a fuller outline with a tightly pulled in tail. The rails are upturned on entry and foils to a lowered 60/40 down rail, with slight edge starting before the front fins.
Our G&S team has ridden different versions of this model, with the most popular being the pin tail.
Described as a super fun board with a lot of potential in bigger surf, the fuller volume under the chest allows for strong and easy paddling, with the vertical performance of something smaller.
Can be ordered from 9’0 up to 9’6”.

- A Hand - shaped U.S. Blanks Green Density Foam with 1/4" Basswood Stringer, 2-Layers of 6 oz Glass plus a Knee patch and Tail Patch.

G&S HEAD SHAPER: CHRIS DARBY

Chris Darby is our Head Shaper, He has been part of the G&S Family of Shapers for over 20 years and over the past few years has worked with Eric Gordon on the most popular G&S models of the 60's and 70's by modernizing the foils, rockers, rails, transforming them ito sleek renditions that are relevant today while still incorporating a firm nod to the past design, keeping their initial purpose and "Soul" intact. He is the shaper of choice for Most of the boards in our extensive Catalog.
Chris knows how to shape a better board that makes a better surfer every time. His shapes stand tall when compared to any of the best shapers out there.
Chris has been shaping for G&S since the early 2000's, and got his inspiration to shape from watching Larry Gordon shape through the 90's. Chris's attention to detail, great patience and his skills as a good listener, have many happy customers that keep wanting another from his capable hands. He is a genius when it comes to surfboard shaping and custom design but is so under the radar that he is the best kept secret in San Diego and we are so lucky to have him all to ourselves here at G&S.
