Can anybody tell me more about the single-fined bojorquez boards from Anderson surfboards? (Bottom shape, how it rides, etc.) The web site is kinda lacking in information.
They are similar to and born of what Greg Liddle does. See Liddle.com for info and history of those type of boards.

I rode my friend’s, I wanted one immediately…
Wahoo go to allaboutsurf.com then go to back issues punch up six feet to fit and look at the videos. Malibu in the 70s most of the shots are of Steve Kraijewski aka. Juan Estaban Bojorquez II [ his real name]. Thats how they ride. Hope this helps .Those are all Liddles in the videos but its the same concept,smooth riding Greenough type displacment hulls.
ah, yes thanks.
I checked out the Bojorquez Fish the other day and just wondered if anyone else has seen or ridden this board. Basically, it looks like a 24" wide Liddle with a small swallow tail. Hull bottom with pinched rails.
Anyone…Bueller…Anyone…Bueller???
Ahhh yesss, the Pescado! My 6’8" is set up to work as a single or trifin set up. Really versatile shape and great with the right fin set up. I have three of Rich Sanders’ carbon fiber mentals with double foils and it works from chest to overhead+. With the tri-fin set up you can stand in the middle (like a normal hull) and push nice rail turns or step back and slash about. Haven’t tried it in the single fin config yet. The swallow tail lets you get futher back on the board without spinning.
Its a great board for introducing yourself to the whole hull thing or if you’re a huller you can get more vertical surfing without losing too much hull feeling. The board (as a tri) does not have as much “pull” as a single fin Liddle. Great all around board for medium size California waves.
Thanks for info LeeV! Sounds like it’d be perfect match for Pitas Point.
Hey Mr. Duck,
I have a 6’4" Pescado that I got from a fellow Swaylockian here on the East Coast.
I’m currently waiting on a set of rich’s fins and haven’t had it out but for a handful of times but so far here are my impressions.
I believe the board is best suited to Pacific type waves with a little more power, because even though the board paddles easily, there comes a moment when it seems to push water a little. The beach break waves I’m using it in tend to get thick at the top as they swell up so that when you think you have the wave and are starting down the slope, the wave flattens out just as the board reaches water pushing speed making it tougher to catch the wave.
If however you can get over that little hump, or find a better suited wave, the board is like a bar of soap. I had it out in some bigger glassy waves the other day and I have several mental images stored of the board shooting riderless towards the beach as I fall backwards into the whitewater.
these boards are displacement hulls and are designed for riding POINT waves going front side fast smooth down the line surfing. They are need to be ridden from the middle of the board to achieve its full potential. I have been riding and building this type of board for a few years now and a point wave is what they love best. Use the l-flex finn and feel the slingshot effect in the bottom turns!!
Thanks for the replies,
Scott- Which blank would you use on a 6’8"?
7’2E (or is it 7’3E) with Frye rocker if you go Clark.
use the 7’3 and the 7’9 e stay pretty close to natural rocker
