Gordo/Feo

Large for sure, definitely not ugly — her namesake is the Instagram handle of a dear friend, Bill Martin (@GordoYFeo). Bill is father to one of Ryan's closest friends, Bradley, and had this 9'10 shaped a number of years back. Lovemachine chose it to scan specifically because of its overall balance and feel; the outline is one that has been in constant rotation for the last ten years.

It's a large board dimensionally but is nicely foiled and doesn't carry any excess bulk. The overall rocker curve as well as a light concave up front accommodates noseriding nicely but doesn't focus the board on tip-time alone — it has plenty of curve in the hips to keep it active and carving from the back.

A healthy roll through the mid-section and rolled vee just ahead of the fin makes it happy to go onto rail or stick into trim mid-face; these things love a fun beachbreak with multiple speed sections to explore.
