*disclaimer: this is my personal journey and is not reflective of the professional startup of Almond Surfboards. 😏 This love story starts way back in 2018… My first introduction to @almondsurfboards actually came WAY before I ever had my hands on a board. In college, say 2010, when I started my surfing journey, I stumbled on some insane board photos online and funny thing is it was made by a little surf shop in Newport Beach. Intro Almond Surfboards. 8 years later (2018), I got my hands on the first round of their R-Series surfboards, surfing mushy chop in Charleston, SC. I shot a random unboxing video while @corinne_lutz was out of town and bam! myself and Almond (@dave_allee ) were informally introduced. Fast forward to 2022: we now live in Orange County, CA and what was a random backdrop illustration of a wave for our sons first birthday that I paint on our living wall became a sight for some fresh eyes. Commence a DM from Dave himself asking if I could blow that thing up massive on the surf ship exterior wall. From that moment on my life has drastically changed in ways I never could have imagined, especially being a kid from the midwest. The rest is history and I am forever grateful for taking a random shot in the dark and for people like Dave willing to bet on me. There is a lot more to this story, but let’s start with the brief overview.

The Pleasant Pheasant is still a favorite versatile mid-length around here. It’s a board I find myself reaching for more and more often. #earlyandoftensurfclub

For the first decade (or more) of Almond, every surfboard we built was shaped, glassed, sanded, and finished by hand. We love building custom surfboards that way, but glassing is also the most time-consuming and labor-intensive part of the process. When we started working on the R-Series, the idea was pretty simple: could we take some of our favorite surfboard models and build them in a more user-friendly, price-point-friendly way, without losing the things that made those boards work in the first place? We went to great lengths to reproduce the rails, rocker, bottom contours, and fin setups from our custom boards. The result is a molded, waterproof surfboard that’s durable, requires no wax, and is remarkably easy to own. All with the goal of making it ride as much like an Almond Surfboard as possible. #twofeetandfiring Photo: @jeffrey_allee

We asked our shaper, Griffin, which board he would shape (and ride) if he could only shape one board for the rest of his life... his answer: the Pleasant Pheasant. A progressive mid-length, that features a slightly narrower outline, a round tail, and small side-bites. The Pleasant Pheasant is ideally suited for surfers who want the added foam of a midlength, but still want the ability to explore the face of the wave. #earlyandoftensurfclub
