How it surfs
Wavelength and Boardcave both single out the Harrison as the reference contemporary log — the shape most current Australian and US loggers benchmark against.
The main critique is availability — the 4-6 month waitlist means most riders end up buying second-hand, at premiums that often exceed new-custom pricing.
