On this week’s episode of the Basis Surf Podcast, I’m joined by one of the most innovative surfboard shapers on the planet, Donald Brink (@donaldbrink). His asym board with Matt Biolos was chosen by Mick Fanning as the winner of the 2022 Electric Acid Surfboard Test. In this episode, we dive deep into the details of board design - rails, rocker, volume, and more - to help you understand what to look for in a board to match your skill level and the conditions you face. Get ready, as this episode will completely reshape the way you think about your next board choice.
