"The 'Pedestrian Ship' was born for the
2024 STAB magazine Electric Acid Surfboard Test
with Dave Rastovich. I was thrilled to be invited to participate again, and when I found out Dave was this year’s surfer, I put on my thinking cap (though it might have malfunctioned a bit!) This board was the result, and to my surprise, Mr. Rasta chose it as the winner. I can’t even put into words what it means to win this year’s test, especially since Dave has been such a huge influence on my work for nearly 20 years. I flew to Australia the week of the premiere, where I 3D-scanned Rasta's board in person to replicate it for you all here." - Ryan Lovelace
This shape is a mix of thirds to shaper Ryan Lovelace. 1/3 things he has known, 1/3 things he thought Rasta would prefer, and 1/3 total experimentation.
"She's a rather sleek fish, with a reletively small swallowtail - a balanced hybrid performance fish, based on some older curves of mine & updated for this project."
It’s low, flowing rocker is designed to provide planing speed, but the complex bottom shape takes that into a different dimension, offering multiple rocker lines nose to tail: the rail rocker delivers a smooth, continuous line for power and flow in turns, while a distinct kink and release behind the fin, caused by the channel exit, adds some release and punch. Meanwhile, the center-line rocker is lower in the front for maintaining paddle speed, transitioning into an accelerating curve in the back for dynamic roll and looseness underfoot.
Flanking the channel is a wide, flat plane for a responsive, skating feel, while the narrow central vee under your back foot adds control. It’s a radical blend of opposing design philosophies, giving you speed, power, and versatility all in one board.
