Larry Bertlemann, the Titan of Torque, the Sultan of Swivel,
the “Rubberman”. Larry Bertlemann was the quintessential pioneer of New School
surfing. “Anything is Possible” was the mantra he adopted into his mind
bending, space aged approach to wave riding. Being an avid skateboarder,
Bertlemann brought skateboarding to the water. Visualizing street based
maneuvers and adapting them into wave riding was his forte. His skate
influenced wave improvisation was a functional mix of low gravity high-g
cutbacks, 360’s and switch stance surfing. Larry Bertlemann changed the way we
ride waves. His Santa Cruz
6’0” twin fin Legend Series pro-model is the epitome of blending the old with
the new. A skate influenced contemporary version of the board he rode in the
late 70’s to early 80’s.
