G SKATE DEMO TAPES: EUROPE

- The G Skate Demo Tapes' Europe edition follows Dane Gudauskas, Charly Quivront and Sam Piter around in classic conditions. And as you'll see, this skatey style of board allowed them to draw some very creative lines at high speeds in small playful beaches to a bit more serious overhead barrels. This edit, our 4th installment in the Demo Tapes series, captures the surfing that went down during those sessions.

The goal of the G Skate project between the G Bros and Britt was to create something fresh feeling that turned well in good surf but skated with ease through the not-so-good stuff. There was one major stipulation during its development: the G Skate had to still perform at the highest levels possible. They achieved this by shortening their typical shortboard rail line by 5” and adding curves and contours in key places that would keep them on top of the water and not hinder their turns in any way. Adding a 2 + 1 (twin plus trailer) fin set-up tied the whole concept together.
The G Skate has a lot of get up and go speed thanks to its light single to double concave, low entry rocker, wide point forward-and its contemporary shortboard rails provide all the precision and control you could ever want.
This stoke-infused collaboration also yielded an all-new Merrick / Gudauskas 2 + 1 fin set for the G Skate, and they also found that the AMT (2 + 1) fin set up works very well. The purpose of this twin plus trailer fin set-up was to offer the beautiful “free feel” of a twinnie yet have the refined control of a thruster-which is critical in creating a board that accommodates the broad spectrum of approaches between all three G Bros. For those that prefer traditional thruster set-ups, their favorite 3-fin set will work well in this design-giving surfers twice the options and value.
The G Skate serves as a strong utility piece in any quiver where fun and performance are the goal. Ride this board 3” to 6” shorter and the same thickness as your CI Pro.

Nice... like the fin recommendations.. I have ridden this board a few times and it goes great 8:0
Great soundtrack.. Anyone knows??
CI boards. That go well under team riders feet. Most mere mortals never surf this well. But good to watch anyway.
Funny cause the two happy doubles as a step up and a step down. Got one of the biggest barrels of my life on it, one I wouldn’t have been able to(or felt comfortable) on a more rockered out board such as the original happy or ci pro. I see the interwoven ribbon of refinement in board design filling the missing space of the bridge between the ci pro and the 2 happy with the 2.pro. I highly recommend the two happy for anyone wanting to get into those rollers out the back I feel like it could be the widest tail to hold a pipe bomb. I feel like I could catch a second reef on that thing finally bring shortboards to pipe-literally. That being said it works way better than the og happy or ci pro in flatter softer waves and under the lip and hitting scary sections safely and comfortably the ci pro it’s like the rip curl mirage of surfboards
It has so much hidden volume the two happy it’s like a semi gun after riding a ci pro or a og happy
Highly recommend in anyone’s quiver it’s a must have utilitarian sled
