Legendary surf board shaper Pat Rawson speaks out on the new 2008 Liquid Force Project Rawson Surf boards

Quick show summary…
Pat Rawson discusses with host Ryan Riccitelli his background growing up surfing in California where he began shaping surfboards in 1966. His migration to Oahu’s Northshore in 1972, soon became his home and where he built his name and business with a strong reputation for being the big wave gun man of choice.
Pat and Ryan discuss the evolution of surf shapes over the past 40 years, from single fin classics, to working on some of the first thrusters and how Pat applies that knowledge to creating the shapes he does today as we move into a world of quad fin and 3-4-5 convertible set ups. We learn of the high technology used in modern surfboard shaping, which allows Pat to hand shape boards and then use special 3D modeling to create computer files which his shaping machines can read from the computer and recreate the shape within 1/1000 of an inch. This process allows Pat to really refine shapes over time due to the reliability of being able to recreate the exact shape.
Pat describes his relationship with LF Team Rider Mauricio Abreu and how Mauricio’s style of riding led him to be riding Rawson Surfboards strapless and how that was what brought Pat back into shaping for kiteboarding. Over the past 5 years Pat and Mauricio, along with other well known kiteboarding pro riders, such as Elliot Leboe and Andre Phillip and LF Team Riders Moehau Goold, Jason Slezak and Davey Blair have been riding Rawson Surfboards, with constant feedback and refinement. This history and the relationships with the riders allowed Liquid Force and Pat Rawson to come together to produce a premium line of kite surfboards that have been relentlessly tested and refined for years. The master’s shapes blended with the production capability and worldwide distribution network will allow for the fist time, Rawson Custom Kite Surfboards, previously only available to a small circle of kiteboarding elite… now available worldwide as the Liquid Force Project Rawson Skate and Quas series, at Liquid Force retailers!
Pat goes on to speak about why he uses Futures Fins on all of his and the Liquid Force Surfboards and how rail and bottom shapes have evolved to create the latest shapes for Liquid Force, inlcuding 2 thrusters, in a 5′10 and 6′1 and 2 bat tail quads in 5′11 and 6′2.

LFKB.TV Episode #1 : ‘Boys in the Hood pt 1 : Pimp my Ride’ : Show Notes
Coming in to support the efforts of Liquid Force Kiteboarding, Northwest rep- Gregg ‘Tekko’ Gnecco and the NWLiquid.com crew, the team’s first task was to secure transportation. Fortunately for us and all of those that will enjoy the video and pictures from the subsequent rail sessions, Tekko had traded out some work for an old subaru wagon the previous year with Slingshot Kiteboarding superstar and Kite-looping, video making madman, Ruben Len10.
Before the boys could get on with the action of kiteboarding, some wakeboarding, wakesurfing, snowboarding, skateboarding and many other Hood River summer activities.. they were in the need for some ‘Pimp My Ride’ action!
A quick trip to the local ACE hardware for a $20 investment in paint job and the boys were set. Enjoy! As Chucktown native/North Shore Local (yeah, figure that one out…) Davey Blair leads you on an adventure in ride pimping. We may not be throwing down like MTV with complete rebuilds and 20″ Giovanni Rims... but Morris lays down a Liquid Force first- The Red Wall Tires… to compliment the precision red pin striping that really sets off this ride.
With the paint job secure and the natives getting restless to see a show.. it was time to ‘Ghetto Fabulous’ an upramp so we could get the Liquid Force Subaru down to the beach for the first session.
Special thanks to:
Jim Grady and the Columbia Gorge Kiteboarding Association- for securing the beach cleanup permits required to drive out onto the sand and for the NWKite.com online kiteboarding community/forum for their continued support and for bringing out the crowds at the Hood River Sandbar!!
Stay tuned next week on Liquid Force Kiteboarding.TV as the boys upgrade the LF subaru slider and get out around ‘The Hood’- Hood River, Oregon that is, for some lightwind activities.
Thanks for tuning in to Liquid Force Kiteboarding.TV!!
