The Doctor has da cure for da “Spring Slop Blues.”

Oh boy Spring slop is right around da corner! Who has the cure? Well, Doc Lausch of course! He has a whole new line up of slop killers, and he will be bringing them up for you to demo this weekend.

This Saturday Doc Lausch and his Surf Prescriptions posse will be coming up to SF for a demo day and discussion about his new models for 2010.

-On Saturday, Doc will be driving up from Huntington Beach and arrive somewhere between 2 and 3PM at our Sloat shop, whereby he will lead a presentation and have a Q & A about his new models. Then Doc will hang out to talk and take custom orders.
We will be serving coffee, doughnuts and bagels. So come hang out with da Doctor.

-On Sunday (Conditions permitting, cross yer fingers!) Doc will be hosting a demo day with many of his models for you to try out. From 10 till 1PM come by our Sloat Shop where you will see the RX tent set up and come try out some "sick" Surf Prescriptions! We'll also be bar-b-quing up some of da Doc's famous carne asada tacos, so even if the surf refuses to cooperate we will have a great time with the Doc and crew. Don't miss out.

Demo

Demo Day with Doc Lausch January 30th and 31st.

On Jan 30th and 31st Doc Lausch will bringing up some of his new models for a Surf Prescriptions Demo Day. On Saturday from 3 till 6 come grab a coffee and some donuts at Aqua Sloat as Doc will be there to talk with surfers about his boards and taking custom orders, then Sunday morning ( 10 till 1) Doc will be hosting a demo day with his new models for you to try out- of course conditions permitting (fingers crossed). More info soon-

Some info about Doc-
Doc got his nickname from an original Huntington Beach California punk rocker in 1980. "Rex Collision" loved to give the punk nick names and Jeff was the recipient of "Doc Mad" because of the dust mask he'd wear that looked somewhat like a doctor's mask, as Jeff would emerge from the shaping room with his latest creation to the chorus of "There's Doctor Mad". Jeff made the mistake of complaining about the "Doc Mad" nick name, and well, the rest is history.

“Doc” started in a garage factory where he built Freedom Surfboards. In 1984 he got his first real factory and the Freedom Surfboards name just didn't seem to fit any more. He was "Doc" to everyone but his Mom and the cops so it was natural to name his surfboard company Surf Prescriptions by Jeff "Doc" Lausch.

To date he has been shaping boards for over 25 years. During this time he has focused mostly on high performance boards because, “It’s what keeps me excited about the sport and what I’m most comfortable with. I’ve been shaping since 1980 and still love it. It’s the best job in the world. Nothing is better than giving.”

When asked about the state of the industry and designs currently in the water he stated, “You, as a surfer, have more options than any surfer has ever had in the history of the sport! We at Surf Prescriptions are stoked to be on the forefront of new design technology that will ultimately bring your surfing experience to a whole new level. Surf Prescriptions is dedicated to offering the right design to all the fortunate souls who participate in the incredible experience of surfing!”
