There’s nothing worse than feeling stale in the water. Jumping on some different equipment is a sure fire way to reignite the spark of surfing inspiration. It could be as simple as throwing some new fins in your daily driver to get a different feel. Or like Dakota Walters does here, you could go all out and order yourself a whole quiver of unique crafts and lock your regular board away for a month.

The boards you’ll see Dakota experiment with here include a wild 4’0” Simmons/bodyboard inspired hybrid, A 5’0” twin-fin, a 6’0” rockered out 90’s throwback shortboard and finally a 7’0” which looked really fun for driving under the lip at his local ledges.
