Scenes from Saturday night, here @catalyst_at_bashams, celebrating @griffin_cola and the launch of his first @lostsurfboards Pro-model,
The #GRIFFIN.
San Clemente showed up in force…Groms and grown ups alike.
Griffin joined @matt_biolos, up front and chatted about his new board, then showed a new @cola_bros edit of him putting it through the paces, decimating the local ….But not before bringing out a pair of double secret surprise guests, @cole_houshmand and @erinbrookssurf, who paraded through the crowd, trophies held high, after their fantastic @wsl world tour wins, at The #FijiPro, just days ago.
@drewbrophy was slinging Griffins signature sprays, on stock boards and letting kids lend a helping hand.
Of course we had teenage rockers, @tomorrowsanthem, burn through a scorcher of a set. The all girl band brought down the house, with raved up classic rock covers and originals.
Thanks to all the supporters, including Franky @oceanbrookfarms, Griffins sponsors @creaturesofleisure and @quiksilver, as well as @surcoffee and everyone who showed up.

The #GRIFFIN model launches today, at SurfShops around the USA. We have a solid size run, in store, now…but four sold on Saturday, so swing by and scope them out, before more slide out the door.

The last quiver of @lostsurfboards x @currencysurfcraft have made it from the factory to the floor. These are absolutely stunning and the best batch of the bunch.
Six #SuperSmooth_Operators.
The “SuperSmooth” is an off menu model, developed by @matt_biolos, for enjoying the many open faced, soft peeling waves in our area. It’s been exclusively available in @libtechnologies @libtechsurf for a few years now, but this is the first custom built batch to be available. Features are a lower nose rocker, with volume forward beak nose, giving incredible paddle power and down the line glide, balanced by a noticeably increased tail rocker, for ease of turning.
Fin set up makes for a myriad of options, allowing the SuperSmooth to be timed for many sizes and conditions. It excels in everything from wiggling a. Twin+trailer in waist high crumbles, up chasing down and carving up the largest of South Swells, with a quad or Thruster set up. Specifically designed to thrive at local spots like Cottons, Church and Middles. Just ask @jimbogaskin !
There’s only 6 and one already sold. by @catalyst_at_bashams

Another beautiful batch of @lostsurfboards x @currencysurfcraft in the store.
Four of seven total #RNF_Kingfish featuring fabulous psychedelic squeegee sorcery. We have from 7’0” down to 6’4”, on the floor.
The KingFish is a cross between a MidLength and a Fish. Based off the iconic, #RNF_96 by @matt_biolos and meant to be ridden 6” to 1’ longer than you would the original. Featuring low e try and curvey tail rocker, with vee, it’s to catch waves easily but to turn well and be ridden aggressively.
Built start to finish, right behind this wall, by local surfer craftsman, stringy into the store and out the door, into your loving hands. taken in Bashams Factory by @catalyst_at_bashams
