North Shore On A Single Fin

On April 15th a big slow rising WNW swell hit the North Shore of Oahu. This morning started with waves 1-2 ft. and by night it was 15ft.
Mason wanted to ride this surfboard at three different spots in one day as the swell rose. Rockies in the AM, V at lunch then Pipeline in the evening while it was bombing. The surfboard is a 6 ft. 4 inch Single Fin shaped by Timmy Patterson around 1996-2001? for Donavon Frankenreiter. Michael Ho grabbed the board from Timmy in San Clemente around 2003-2004 and it has been in Hawai'i since.
Filming: Rory Pringle
Surfers: Mason Ho, Michael Ho, Coco Ho, Sheldon Paishon, Kalani Chapman, Nathan Fletcher, Joey Johnston, Mark McMorris, Koa Smith, Josh Moniz, John John Florence & Ezekiel Lau.
All surfboard info in end credit roll.
RIP CHAS CHIDESTER - He passed on this day in 2017. Thank you for the waves and safety!

Dude, Mason is so fun to watch. The speed he gets and barrels he makes are other-worldly.

[@dylanhahn4119]

plus the music selection. so sick

[@robertcrosby9607]

Every time I watch Coco surf it reminds of how she is almost criminally underscored, such good style and flow!! Keep up the great edits!!

[@xococoho]

APPRECIATE IT!!! hahahah:)

[@Rico-hf7jn]

This single fins surf style is so elegant and fluid, very nice to watch. Way more authentic than the epileptic surf styles of today ( yes I’ m old, I know...)

[@surfsavage2860]

Dude!!! Watching Mason surf a single fin reminds me of watching BUTTONS....almost brings a tear to my eye. RIP buttons...miss your surf style brodda

[@louisrobinson4164]

Smooth & clean lines with the single.🤙🏻

[@fabienaubret3323]

What a great soundtrack!

[@A-FrameWedge]

Mason catching one outside his dad scratching down the line to snake him, got times with the family, they are enjoying the time they have surfing together, and then Mason on the inside getting barreled while his dad is catching the next outside wave, memories they will cherish I am sure.

[@christophergreen3538]

Stuck in a boat on the gulf watching these, you pick the best music.

[@fishybearspi]

Mason is my spirit animal.

[@tycobbcantsurf4848]

Actual LOL over hear

[@sansmathurin1437]

7:16 that was the most respectful burn I have ever witnessed ahah

[@ICTBKco]

Best surfer by all means

[@tonysmario817]

mason is so good. he really shows how far thruster technology took performance surfing... that single fin is cool, and fast in the pocket of course, but no comparison to watching mason on his contemporary quiver of 5-somethings... i'm a bit older, and love surfboards before fin-systems, when glass-ons were the norm, and single fins were still competing with twins and thrusters a little...i really want to love the single fin...but the ride is so improved with the three or four fin set ups. thanks mason for reminding us of how it used to be...ripping is ripping!

[@hughmckendrick3018]

Ho has a great attitude to life. Always entertaining to watch and see him interviewed or just chatting. His enthusiasm is a delight. He must have been glued to that single fin.

[@thebaiaformosa]

Best Channel so far!!!

[@quam13]

I love the Ho family, solid humans right there.

[@turvyjj9232]

I was thinking, "who the hell is this guy with the single fin, a ghost from another era?" Mason! Keep it up, blackbird.

[@mikehenry5426]

A lot of people surf for the ego trip, the more talented, to hustle your coin with what they push, Mason surfs pure, free and better than basically everyone on the globe. It's a pleasure to watch, inspiring shit, can't wait to get wet again. Thanks Mason would be an honor to share a wave one day.

[@davidtomar1125]

Reminded me of the great Shaun Thompson on his iconic blue and white board in the late 70’s. Good stuff!

[@mateovicuna7640]

Ur old man is a beast. What an awesome family you guys make

[@zachbriones3213]

[@simchabaruch3109]

Flashes of Mark Richards. Before the twinny. Back when our boards were a limiting factor, when we took of on the peak, not 50yards behind it, when an off the lip meant your nose would be placed 6 inches above the lip, before we "busted our fins out". When style was conciderd in judging, before 10 year olds were doing 360s on perfected quad fin cnced rockets with rails that never catch, and before we had to take off on absolutely deadly pits in order to push our limits, things were NOT better, because it was not NOW.but I do miss those days. Aloha (goodbye old days) And be careful and go for it. Torn by my Gemini nature. Simcha

[@HiloBoiz808]

THE BEST!keep em comin MAHALO!

[@BobbyJetty1502]

Solid camera work, surfing and stoke. God I miss surfing with my mother and brother. Much Aloha 🤙🔱

[@myrrhavm]

The transfer would have been awesome. 4:40 in, riding so high on the face then dropping in was rad.

[@williamfranco7526]

OH MY GOD THAT BARREL AT 4:40 FCKIN CRAZY!!!!!

[@IgorKTR]

Insane, fun surf and good vibes! Aloha!

[@anotherworldviewispossible]

That 70's Teardrop single fin design... So under-rated, generally. And you ripped the crap out of that thing... Though I'm guessing based on the shaper and the condition - that it's a more modern throw-back design. That thing looks like an unreal tuberider. I was thinking that you should give that a go out at Velzyland. We'll be able to compare against vintage footage from your father, too. Back in the 1990's - I was living in San Diego, quite a bit. At that time, you could go to garagesales on any given weekend - or look thru the pennysaver - and find several classic boards, often in good shape...brought down from someone's rafters. $50 or less, could score you a dreamboard. We were riding them in everything from sloppy beachbreaks, to bigger Blacks beach - even dredging reefs in La Jolla. I came to love a few of mine - and took them with me, all over the place. Rincon, 'Bu, you name it, they ripped it. Sadly, in more recent years, those kinds of finds, have become exceedingly rare - and they tend to fetch top-dollar, as wall hangers, and for collectors... It's a shame, too. I'm guessing that there may be few great boards, still out there, Brewer's and Chapman's, probably hiding under some porches and in garages. Keep your eyes peeled.

What a king 👑

[@ericcopple169]

Yeah Kalani!🤙

[@JD-tx9ds]

Anytime we get to the Ho fam in the water classic shit goes down

[@floridaboy9641]

I have to ask. How many boards do you go through in a year?

[@arrzfr]

I would say all the North Shore boys with board sponsors combined create enough PU trash to give microplastic poisoning to half the whale and dolphin population in the Pacific.

[@benlaverack288]

IVE NEVER BEEN SO AROUSED BEFORE BRAH

[@ECsponger2]

Mason got that hockey hair flow goin on

[@sfmarko333]

I saw it go from 2' to 15' in 4 hours then closing out in 2 more hours. A 16 year old kid drown at Pipe because it was too big to get in... Cerca 1989...or 90.
