"I use the Sprout in any good logging conditions. It's honestly a workhorse that brings out the best in my surfing. I always go back to it to find my equilibrium."

SPROUT

The SPROUT is CJ's favorite surfboard of all time. Originally shaped by Washington's Dane Purlee and now resurrected and tweaked by Californian shaper Ryan Engle. This is an updated replica of the board CJ rode in Thomas Campbell's movie "the Sprout". Without a doubt, the best noseriding surfboard CJ has ever owned. Regarded by many as the best noserider of all time, this board was designed to take to Malibu or Scorpion Bay and hang ten. A must-have for any point break, tip dwelling, longboard enthusiast.

Concept designed by: CJ X Ryan Engle
