Was in a surf shop the other day and saw a couple of Greenough mid-length boards, one in particular had what I guess they call a “gizmo” or Greenough bottom on this 7’2" 2+1 board. Not quite channels under the board, but almost looked like a second set of rails cut in about 5 inches from the outer rails. Anyone know about this design?

Joining Wilderness in the late 1960’s was Richie West, Dan Hazard, and present day owner and designer shaper, Bob Duncan. Wilderness has operated at its present location at 317 South Alisos St. in Santa Barbara since 1970. After trips to Hawaii in the 1970’s, and constant trips to Mainland Mexico and Baja, longer, faster board designs evolved, improving upon the basic Greenough designs in board and fin, flex and foils integrating the completely original Greenough bottoms. Our custom fin design, flex and foil is now produced by True Ames evolving into the fin for the new century-the paddle fin. A Constant Evolution since the '60’s of Grennough foil and flex technology. Custom glasswork is performed by Bob Haakinson also located in Santa Barbara California. We continue to improve on our mid-range and longboard shapes, California’s original short board- The Greenough/Wilderness Stubbie, still available in single and three fins, and elusive custom kneeboards.
