• The name behind the next revolutionary surfboard

    2NamesThe name of my snowboard inspired surfboard came about maybe 10 years ago or more, during a pick-up game of volleyball in Maine one very fun summer afternoon.

    You see, I’m what my wife refers to as a “little bit passionate about playing sports”. It was 5 on 5, and my friends noticed my pretty fierce approach and my rather strong spike (hit) and attack. So, they started calling me the Colternator (Coltinator). From then on that’s been my nickname.

    So, When I started shaping surfboards my wife couldn’t wait to name one of my boards the Colternator (Coltinator). When I shaped this board in 2014 we knew this was the perfect name for it. And that’s how the name came about.

    P.S. As you can tell from the wax marks on the board, I’ve really been riding this board! It rides so great!
