For the first three days, we will be showing the masterpiece "5'5" x 19 1/4"! (42 minutes) "In the fall of 1994, a young Chris Ward called me from Hawaii." "I saw Tom Curren riding the Fish at Logs. I want a short one like that. Can you make one for me?" Karen was riding a Tommy Peterson Fireball, a more tapered, pointy-nosed, swallowtail shortboard than a real fish board. I had no idea what Tom was doing, so I went to check out the vintage '70s twin fins hanging on the wall of a surf shop in town. Inspired, I went to my shaping room and came up with what would become the first "Round Nose Fish." It was a 5'5" round nose twin fin, 19 1/4" wide, swallow tail, with a deep vee under the front foot and a low rocker tail. We sent the board to Hawaii, Chris rode it and the history of RNF as you know it began. The following summer ('95), we did some RNF for Corey and a few others and started collecting footage. I started riding them myself. We released a VHS "What's Really Going Wrong" featuring both Chris and Corey's parts on early RNF. Mainly at Trestles. We noticed that people didn't appreciate RNF enough... yet. That fall, armed with some fresh RNFs and adding rear FCS fin plugs to improve the twin fin action, the guys returned to Hawaii with a videographer named Drew Todd! O'Neill began placing advertisements in trade magazines showing Chris and Cory riding their boards. When Andy saw it, he asked for one of those RNFs. At this point, my friends and other team riders And some surf shops. People were ready to try something new. -Matt Mayhem Bioros. After releasing Lost's first two VHS releases in 1997, "What's Really Going On" and "What's Really Going Wrong," 5'5" x 19 1/4" serves as the antithesis to the bubblegum pop world of Taylor Steele's movies. Our Lost movies are on the streets, at parties, in the water, no skits or acting, just real surfers. Surfboards at the time were like elf slippers or bananas, with too much rocker and not enough width or volume. But Chris Ward and Corey Lopez were riding the "little disc" RNF around the North Shore. They were ridden in all sorts of conditions and filmed by Drew Todd. As a result, the end of the 6'2" shortboard range begins, and when choosing from the board racks at surf shops, It became common to choose a board that was 3 to 4 inches shorter than a regular shortboard. Chris Ward. Corey Lopez. Andy Irons. Bruce Irons With a "small disc" RNF at his feet, In the mid-90s, it completely ignored the trends of modern surfboards and ran wild through the ocean. Mayhem and Chris Ward's small surfboard experiments and Mike Leola's film adaptations 5'5" x 19 1/4" has become one of the most cult surf films ever released. We are proud to have developed various versions of this board, the RNF, for over 25 years. So, sit back and enjoy the 42-minute masterpiece "5'5" x 19 1/4"! https://youtu.be/sh8tPw5wsSI
