It was supposed to be just another stop on the Solid Surf team’s whirlwind East Coast tour, but when Burger rolled into the Skudin Surf American Dream wave pool, everything changed. Armed with his latest custom board from Solid Surf—a true testament to high-performance craftsmanship—Burger showed why he’s one of the most exciting team riders on the scene. And, in classic Burger fashion, he turned this pit stop into a showcase of what’s possible with the right board underfoot.
The Skudin Surf American Dream Experience
Nestled in the sprawling American Dream Mall in East Rutherford, New Jersey, the Skudin Surf American Dream wave pool offers a controlled, glassy canvas for surfers of all levels. It’s more than just a novelty; it’s a proving ground for performance, consistency, and style. For Burger, it was the perfect venue to push the boundaries of what his Solid Surf board could do.
From his first takeoff, it was clear that the American Dream wave pool was no match for Burger’s signature power and flow. “You’ve got to approach each wave like it’s the real thing,” he said. “The predictability here is unreal, and that lets you focus on dialing in every single maneuver.” With waves that peel perfectly every time, the Skudin Surf facility let Burger unleash his full arsenal: deep carves, crisp snaps, and aerial antics that had everyone poolside buzzing.
Why the American Dream Wave Pool Matters for Performance Boards
Wave pools like Skudin Surf American Dream aren’t just for fun. They’re a litmus test for the modern surfboard. The consistency of the waves exposes every strength and flaw in a board’s design. That’s why Burger’s session carried extra weight—it wasn’t just about showing off his skills; it was about proving the capabilities of his Solid Surf board.
Designed and shaped in San Diego, every Solid Surf board is a blend of cutting-edge materials and time-tested craftsmanship. The controlled environment of the American Dream surfing pool revealed the performance benefits of Solid Surf’s approach: boards that are fast, responsive, and built to handle anything from a perfect left-hand peel to the unpredictable chaos of the ocean.

Burger’s Board: A Masterclass in Custom Design
The board Burger rode at Skudin Surf American Dream was a custom shape tailored to his aggressive style. Featuring a refined rocker for speed and precision, rails that hug the water, and a bottom contour designed for versatility, it’s the epitome of Solid Surf’s philosophy: performance without compromise.
“The thing just feels alive underfoot,” Burger said after his session. “It’s like it knows what I want to do before I do it.” That level of connection doesn’t happen by accident.
