Watching Mason Ho surf is bound to just make you smile. In his most recent video, we see Mason testing new fins in a variety of conditions. “They look like they’d be fast,” said Mason–tapping and caressing the fins. The rest of his video is just pure surfing paired with his mom’s Hendrix collection. Mason, […]

We’ve been wanting to increase our coverage of East Coast board builders for a while now. So, in that spirit we’re holding a voting period to determine who RSM will cover in our next print issue.
