- In this episode, I review Trimcraft re.Bowls. It’s a versatile high performance egg that delivers an organic single fin glide with a steep learning curve behind.
The board was hand shaped by John Oppito. John is a great shaper and the owner of Rozbern surfboards. Their boards get shaped and glassed under one roof in Asbury Park, NJ.
John shaped this board for the alternative-board collaboration Trimcraft which features designs from shaping Rich Pavel, Alex Lopez, and Ryan Lovelace.
I was always curious to ride one of those boards and I eventually had a chance to snuggle one from my friend.
I’ve been riding this board for over a month and all I can say is that the board will perform pretty well when the conditions are right. I pretty much dialed those conditions and now it makes it so much easier to make a decision on when I can take this board out.
I was having the most fun on it when the waves were from 1 up to 5 ft with clean conditions. It didn’t work well for me on choppy mushy days.
I didn’t have a chance to take it out on bigger days as those days happen once in 2 months and it’s hard to catch.
The ideal conditions start kicking in from 3 ft and over. That's when I was actually able to turn it which took me a few sessions to figure that out. After that, it was great. I was able to do basic maneuvers, cutbacks, floaters and cruising down the line with a lot of speed.
However, I’d say, It’s not as user friendly as CI Mid or Seaside and Beyond. It’s a different breed that wants to take time to build relationships and it doesn’t forgive your mistakes.
Enjoy this episode!

As someone whos only surfed in Cali and FL that snow looks hardcore. Keep rippin!
Thanks for watching, Jackson. Sometimes it feels like you are more connected with the nature🙈
Nice review! I've been interested in ReBowls for a long time. Thank you.
Great review. I love my 7'2" re.Bowls. Check out Ryan Lovelace's Thick Lizzy model. It's a super fun mid length that works so good on flat waves. Cheers!
Thanks for watching. I’ll definitely check it out. I’m always up for anything that works in dreamy conditions 🙈
Great review👍
Love it! I had vBowls for some time but ended up selling it. I didn't like it. Thanks, Skipper!
Where do you live? Is that Georgia? Let me know what beaches have the best surf. Much appreciated!!!
I live in NY! It’s Rockaway beach🤙🏼
Think I saw this on CL yesterday. How firm is that price?
Sorry, it's gone. May be CI Mid will go on sale soon!
@@SkipperSurfReview aww too bad...I'll keep a lookout for the ci. Was that mini sim you as well?
@@kostasbenis9072 yeah, figured someone else should enjoy it too!
