Winter is here and we're out there. You coming? ❄️
The conditions are changing and the first winter swells are starting to brew in the northern hemisphere, and you don't want to be unprepared for what the day calls for. Explore our team's Winter Essentials: their preferred gear for the 2024/2025 winter season, to make the most of everything the ocean sends their way.
Meet Rob Kelly, our newest Team Rider from Ocean City, New Jersey, and stalwart in the northeast surf scene. Known for chasing Nor’easter storms in the dead of winter, or cold plunging his way (surfing in boardshorts in winter), Rob is one of surfing’s most entertaining personalities alongside his crew, Numbskulls.
This winter, Rob’s riding a stock 5’6” FRK Swallow, stock 5’7” S Boss, and stock 7’0” Boss Up – a performance quiver that has him covered in anything that hits New Jersey’s shores. Across this quiver designed by Dan Mann with Kelly Slater, Rob’s been riding our Endorfins KS1 Fin Set in both the Thruster and Quad configuration.
