Been a while

Haven't posted much on the blog lately as the instagram thing seems to be a lil more conventional these days. I've had a bunch of really good days riding all of my big quiver. Going with some of skip's ol adventures i've sorta committed myself to ride mostly 11' and 12' boards as of late. With the new year here and the el niño game really looking to become a reality, This will be a true testament to how i feel the boards work. Super stoked to have an upcoming board project with Bob Mitsven. I hope everyone has a great new year and wish everyone a ton of good waves. 

Fall is here finally

Morning session Michael Miller eagle, evening session Skip Frye eagle. You choose which was better

Another prototype

David Town has been making beautiful fins. Here's a 7.5" Brewer/lopez template made out of 37 sheets of volan. Thick lead to finely foiled perfection. Look for A 8" McCoy/Horan template coming soon and specifically for this blue Dave Parmenter BiGboy V-6 

Fins and Pins

David town makes great stuff

A couple photos of David Town's creations. He's making a couple fins for my DAve Parmenter shaped channel bottom singles. Couple different templates going down, way stoked. Bottom photo is a template Dave Parmenter sent based off a McCoy/horan template. All secured by kumano ball bearing systems!

Sunday in the rain

The waves got really good sunday evening after the heavy rain fell.  The wind flipped offshore and the waves became flawless 3-5' perfection.  I was stoked to put the new Michael Miller shaped 11'7" eagle to the test and boy did she deliver. She's my summer fling.

Inspiration for the latest long fish

This photo sums up how dialed in Steve's equipment is. Super stoked to have one of these shaped and a couple in the pipeline!!!! 

the LIS is IN!

Steve Lis has been in town and I'm lucky again to have a beautiful 9'8" custom. T BAND stringer, quad set up for ultra speed and slide. Low rocker for specific california and mexican right hand points. THis one will go to Michael Miller for beautiful Glass Love! YEW!!!!!!!
