Gig Thingy 1

Originally an 8ft board that had passed through many hands, this stick was reclaimed by our very own member and host Kyle Ebanks.

He stripped it down and teamed up with local shaper Derek Framiñán of Surf Lounge to reshape it into a 7'4" egg with a two‑plus‑one fin setup — stable enough for progression, streamlined enough for performance, and always fun to ride. This board makes for a perfect next step after a surfing a foamie.

The finishing touch came from the crew at Gordon & Smith Surfboards, who laid down an acid glass job in Après red. Up top you’ll find Derek’s Surf Lounge logo, and on the bottom, the Après Surf Club mark — making this board not just a ride, but a piece of our community history.
