The Stretch Model

  Size Range:  9' - 10'6  Sample Dimensions:  Length: 9'6 Width: 23" Thickness: 3" Experience Level: Intermediate to Expert Wave Type: Best for clean, peeling waves knee to head high Shaped by:  Chris Darby Description: Designed at G&S in 1965 by Mike Hynson with input from Skip Frye and Billy Hamilton for the Tom Morey Noseriding contest held that same year in Ventura. The Stretch is specifically designed to "Stretch" your time on the nose while still maintaining good overall performance. This was one of the first "reverse" rocker models made for noseriding. In addition, the nose is "cut off" so when nose riding, your weight is a few inches back from where it would normally be if the nose was still there…and it’s got a distinct look for the advanced surfer or the surfer new to nose riding that wants extra stability. Features a medium wide outline throughout with  wide squared off nose, semi-parallel rails, and slight hip towards the tail with a wider tail block. Rai
