26/27 Never Summer Small Batch InstaGator
Before snowboarders were hunting whales with the Harpoon—prior to the three little pigs—there was the InstaGator. The first snowboard influencer. The dawn-patrol wave catcher. The original volume-shifter. Snaps turns, spins like a top, rails like a train, and floats like a boat. Ride the original volume shifted board in your size or size down your Gator (up to 10cm). Amazing nimbility with stability that is incomprehensible. Now in Hybrid Triple Camber. However you size it, whatever the conditions, you're surfing.
