Last year, July 2011, Derek Hynd and Taylor Miller traveled around Italy to share the free friction finless spirit with local surfers across the Italian coastline.

As the organ preaches to the beast and foul in the bush beyond the house, Hynd rips apart a perfectly good Lis-ish fish, and rebuilds it for finless sliding. Channeling his oldest friend, Dale Egan, one...
