Choice Rocket
6’9″ x 19 1/2″ x 2 1/2″
This one walked into the shop the other day.
Interesting that it was originally marked as a
Performance rocker. This board gives the vibe it’s seen a few good days of surf.
Ghost traction pad images are always cool.
Looking forward to riding it soon!

It was the late 80’s. Think of the explosive “Potz” Twinzers & The renound Glenn Minami – of Blue Hawaii fame.

Rich here from OZ. Hanging in the shaping bays down under with the likes of Neil Purchase Jr. and the retired Neil Purchase Sr. We are going over an anthology of design. Have been speaking a lot of many designs not the least of which is the board you have there. Keep that thing for sure. One of the few design experiments we compiled that Jeff Ching rode. Ching borrowed one off of Stevie Lis thru Chioce Studios at the time and shralped the thing in solid winter conditions. Need to reference it when I return. That board was a custom commissioned and built expressly for Davey Hall. Davey, a professional (an exceptional exercise fitness physiology specialist) trainer had a few of those made. Built as Twinzers, ala Martin Potter via Laguna Canyon originally. Big story on that series of design

April 17, 2012Thanks Stephen. I’m thinking about doing the full $200 repair/resand/regloss/rebuff job so there is work to be done before it gets ridden.
Come by the shop anytime!

June 12, 2012That is My brothers board! He surfed the crap out of it ! Toby was so ahead of his time. We didn’t care though…he just made us bitchen boards and we had fun trying new stuff. His whole scene was just based on stoke and lots of it!,
