Wayne is a heck of a guy and 2009 marks FORTY YEARS riding.

His company, Surf Rodz is growing...and we are proud to be associated with what he's doing. Wayne is an artist and a pioneer.

Kudos to you, sir!

Heck yeah! Go Wayne!

The guys at the SZ collective are doing some really innovative stuff. I have to admit, I was skeptical about some of the things they were doing at first because they seemed a bit too out of the box (if it aint broke don't fix it etc.). But as they've progressed, I've become addicted to their design and philosophy. I hope to get to skate with some or all of them some day.

I can't wait till their trucks drop!

Amen!!

I have skated with Wayne on many occasions and he is the MAN!! He is usually skating circles around me - and if he has the slightest hint I am a bit hesitent on anything - he is quick to encourge and offer some positive, reinforcing comment. Skating with Wayne is a BLAST!!!

As for S_Z - he is WAY ahead of most of the current companies out there (get with this guy - you'll catch up! Collective is THE way to go). His products are top notch, beyond innovative and SO much fun to ride. The Thresher is UNBELIEVABLE !!!
