CURIOUS WHAT ADIN WAS RIDING?

 

"The Zippo rounded pin is an extension of the Zippo model, and we wanted to offer you something a little more tuned up for when the waves are firing. Taking key features from the boards that made Wade Carmichael's 2017 Hawaiian leg so damaging, Jason Rodd decided to combine these features creating an unrivalled performance board, built for pumping waves. This model caters to a huge variety of surfers, from your novice to expert, looking for a 1 board quiver that handles good to excellent waves at home or on your surf trip. In addition to the Zippo's signature low entry rocker, and added tail lift, Roddy has adjusted the rail thickness making it lower for increased bite, hold and drive. He's also pulled the tail area in just slightly for a little quicker rail to rail transition, making this board lethal in the pocket. With the adjustments made to the rail and refined tail area adding more control, Jason has continued with the single concave so as to maximise your down the line speed, creating a super flowy feel under your feet, but the confidence knowing it'll go wherever you put it. Now remember, this board is an extension of your all-rounder and should be ridden about 1-2 inches longer than your standard shortboard. Lastly, exclusive to the zippo rnd pin we are using HiClear & Carbon fusion stringer cloth which increases the strength of the board, and gives an enhanced flex pattern to the standard wood stringer feel." - Jason Rodd
