Today's episode is courtesy of Scott Hinkle who likes to ride a variety of boards- doesn't matter if it's surf or even snow. Scott's surfboards though vary in range from 5'6" to 6'6" with a certain emphasis on Tomos it seems. They work good, what can I say? Scott has an open mind when it comes to designs and has surfed everything from Indo to Encinitas to Tavi to Santa Barbara and puts his boards through a solid vetting process. Scott has been a neighbor of mine for almost 15 years and is always amped to surf. Whether it's step-offs or clearing his schedule for Central America, he's down to get some waves. Here's what Scott had to say about his prized possessions:

Thanks to Scott for dragging his boards out of the garage and giving us the rundown on his quiver. Hopefully he'll get some waves again soon (once this virus and dirty water thing passes). Hope you gained some insight on these boards are are ready to paddle out once the beach ban is lifted too. Keep checking back in the coming days for more Boardz N The Hood- board reviews from the Bros- not the Pros!
