Harrison Roach is at the vanguard of a new splice of professional surfer. A surfer comfortable on boards of any size, shape, width and design. With boards handcrafted by some of the sport's legends, time at home on the Noosa points bookended by winters in Hawaii and summers in Indonesia, he has been taking his high cheekbones, his on trend '60s surf look, his easy, articulate, confidence, his effortless noseriding and his love for waves of consequence to an increasingly wide and appreciative audience. Never afraid to look to the past to gain inspiration for the future, the episode of Board Stories looks at his Modern Bonzer. Using the Campbell Brother's bonzer design as launching point, and adding modern fin set ups and rails, Roach talks through his approach of melding the past and present and then puts them to test at surfing's ultimate proving ground, the North Shore of Hawaii. Also featuring insight from Malcolm Campbell, this is a Board Story that traces surfing history, whilst tracking its future.
