Sector 9 Meridian Rips Longboard Complete 40 x 9.75

Since Sector 9 was founded by surfers in Ja Jolla, California (a well-known fact by now), it's only fitting that our boards would be heavily surf-inspired throughout the years. This year's Swell Photo Collection is no different. For this year's offering, we've headed South... way South... to feature photographer Hayden Richards, also known as Rich Richards or SA Rips. Hailing from South Australia, his photography provides a stark contrast to the bright, colorful, sun-soaked barrels that you're probably accustomed to seeing on our decks. The moody, serene, and often dark images of barren stretches and isolated landscapes are punctuated by ocean views and perfect barrels.

We've chosen to complement the subtlety of his images with flat, matte bottom graphics on some surf-inspired shapes like the Jammer and Unagi, as well as an all-around favorite in the Meridian. We're super stoked to show off his incredible images with this collection that'll have you transported to the other side in search of ocean perfection.
