Smokey's YYZ

Dropped off some work for Smokey on Sunday up in the OC. While at the shop I "had" to head upstairs and take another look at the Zeph shapes. Had spoken to Smokey about the 9'8" YYZ previously and he offered to loan me his to test drive. Took him up on the offer and had a chance last night to get this one wet. Waves were OK but not ultra ideal for log riding. After a few short rights I finally got into one that walled up and allowed me the chance to get up on the nose and really get a feel how well it went. Had several more waves that let me get up on the nose and was stoked to be able to just stand there on the tip and glide. No hint of the nose dipping under water, very stable underfoot and just oh so smooth. Not sure how to explain the rails and the bottom concave, very unique (IMHO). What ever the case, it works!
