| "The What I Ride" The Robert August What I Ride is the board Robert takes around the world during his surf travels. It makes sense to ride a board that maximizes your fun regardless of the conditions. "What I Ride" utilizes a 60/40 rail configuration which, in combination with a nifty tear drop concave conveniently placed under the 18" wide nose, greatly enhances your style of nose riding. The WIR kit is currently available in two sizes: 9’ 0” What I Ride Width – 22 3/4" Nose – 18" Tail – 15" Thickness – 3" 9’ 6” What I Ride Width – 23" Nose – 18" Tail – 15" Thickness – 3" |
The prototype Robert August "What I Ride"
was built by Malcolm Schweitzer of
Schweitzer Surfboards in St. Thomas Virgin
Islands. This board was built using exotic
woods such as flamed maple and Brazilian
walnut. The inlays were done with laser-cut
abalone. This board caused quite a stir at
the 2010 Sacred Craft show in Santa Cruz,
CA

| ALL EXPORT KITS ARE SHIPPED USING US PRIORITY MAIL AND USUALLY DELIVERED IN 6 TO 10 BUSINESS DAYS |
An export kit is the same as a regular domestic kit except the ribs
and spar sections are cut from the backing material so they fit a
1-meter long package that can be sent anywhere in the world.
The cuts are made at non-critical spots and the pieces are coded so
that matching the pieces is easy. Also included is some extra wood
to reinforce the joints. The manual shows exactly how to do it and its
emailed as soon as the order is processed so you can start planning
while the kit is on its way.

| Three more questions we get a lot...... |
Question: "Do I get everything I need to
build a board in the kit?"
Answer: In the basic kit - no, in the
complete kit - yes. The basic kit is the
frame and instructions and you'll need to
buy wood, fiberglass, a fin, etc. locally.
We put all that stuff into the complete kit.
Plus the wood in the complete kit is balsa
and paulownia so the board will be light.
You'll just need glue and tools.
