Greetings, Shredderz! This is the very last post of 2020, and I couldn’t be more excited. Yes, I’m eager to leave this dumpster fire in the rearview, but I’m mainly pumped for the year ahead.

I’m always thrilled and even a little surprised that people take the time to read the blog and follow along on Instagram. If you’ve ever spent any time checking out Shred Sledz, no matter how briefly that might have been, thank you. I can’t tell you how great it is to connect with people who share my love of surfboards, surf history, and of course, the indescribable act of riding waves. Gerry Lopez is a better surfer and far more profound than I will ever be, but that doesn’t mean I can’t take a few cues from Mr Pipeline and look towards the dawn of the new year with a sense of optimism and stoke. Thank you again for all your support.
