Jack Lindholm, one of bodyboarding's elite pioneers and creator of “Jackstance” aka Drop Knee, has put 40+ years of ocean experience and bodyboard knowledge into his four signature series models: The 808 Rippa, MONEY, FOXEY and DEEP. Triad is honored to be presenting these on behalf of Jack "da Rippa" Lindholm.
Deep Barrels and Deep Purple are the highlight tributes associated with Jack's DEEP signature model. DEEP features an "old school template" that was derived from Jack's R&D sessions with legendary shaper Buzz Morasca. On a trip to the infamous Teahupoo, Jack experienced what he calls the ride of his life. The only image that exists from this wave is below. But it is a well-etched memory and a driving inspiration behind this board. Jack dropped a Fish Tail double concave design on the first generation DEEP model and now, after the development of a new highly technical bottom contour, DEEP returns as a traditional crescent. This new bottom contour was inspired by surfboard shaper Todd Proctor's Zipsta Jet concept and the sun's crepuscular rays. It is the most technical bottom contour in the Triad range. The signature colors and model stamp are a nod to the UK Metal Band Deep Purple. Deep Purple greatly inspired Jack in the early 70's in his pursuit of playing the drums as a teenager and their music continues to be part of his surfing experience today. DEEP is ultimately a tribute to Deep Barrels and this latest version is intended to help you emerge into the light from the deepest and darkest of pits!
Heavy Waves and Heavy Metal = GO DEEP!
DEEP is carved out of premium Kinetic 1.9 lb core, reinforced with 2 x EGF Stringers and a Surlyn Slick bottom. It also features Jack's signature VSS: Venomous Sea Snake bottom graphic. This board is from the future, made for the present, by a living legend.
