The trio

It's been a pretty incredible week of weather and board anticipation. Thursday i got to enjoy the company of Mr. greg Martz from the Waterman's Guild. We live pretty close to one another, so picking up 3 boards from him was a special treat. Got to see all his bitchin resin art work and sip tequila in anticipation of the 3 aleutian juice surfboards in his van. 

     Dave Parmenter and I spoke at length about the designs you see here. I explained the importance of the particular areas in California, Mexico and Costa Rican point waves that I frequent to Dave. He took a lot of his time and energy listening to the specifics of each board with more enthusiasm than any other shaper I've encountered. Add this mindset to one hell of a laminator and this is what you get, beautiful outcomes. Much love and respect to Greg Martz and the whole Waterman's Guild crew and Mr. Dave Parmenter for the incredible shapes! 3 more coming soon.........

Surprises in the mail

A couple days ago I got some mail I wasn't expecting. A puffy envelope addressed to me from Dave Parmenter. I chuckled a bit and couldn't wait to see what was inside! Turns out Dave sent me a note and some basswood stringer shavings from his block planers. Most people could care less, probably most shapers as well. I was stoked like a grom and Dave knew somehow that I would appreciate that. To me, that's the kind of gesture of a shaper who really cares about your shapes. We spoke a lot about all the different boards I have coming and at great length. Instead of doing what normal shapers do (what they want) Dave did everything i wanted and translated that to foam. Couldn't be more humbled or stoked in the same sentence.......

Number 5 of 6

Spent some time at the watermans guild today watching greg martz glass my new MP Egg/disc shaped by dave parmenter. As i sent some video to Dave, he forwarded photos of #5 of #6 shapes i ordered. 

Loves those blondes

These baltic birch with clear glue fins are all time. Larry gephart foiled all of these fins. Two sets are un-signed. One tri set from 28 years ago and one keel set from 10 years ago.
