99 Richie Schmidt wanted a shortboard

Richie Schmidt wanted a shortboard that he could tackle some slabs on

a little fat

People love this board and we've been making it for a very long time

and with all the volume

Round tail only for tight turns

99 Richie Schmidt wanted a shortboardThis is what Ratboy and Flea were riding in 1999 when Rat was world airshow champ and Flea was riding M10's before his head to toe Rusty sponsorship took him away. I designed it specifically for airs, but it's really just a great all around shortboard. It has a fast rocker with a shallow single to double concave from the middle back, and a little vee in the entry, to make for a fast, loose and forgiving board.
