Sharktober

Gnarly shark attack up here in Humboldt yesterday. The guy is doing well, plus a ton of stitches. Tis' the season round here.

Shack

I moved out of my old space and brought everything home. This shack was in my backyard with nothing but tar paper around it. I got some wood, some nails, a saw, a hammer, and some motivation. I can't wait to have a shaping shack in my backyard, no more driving across town. Can't beat walking out your back door and work at any time desired. Now if I could just walk out my back door to a surf break.

Swap

I had a super good time hanging out with everybody up in Trinidad for the swap meet. Nothing like talking shop and getting people stoked on what I've been putting my heart into. If you were there and are interested in anything I had to offer please contact me and we'll get started on a custom. Thanks Salty's that was a blast!!

Salty

On Saturday the 20th of October Salty's in Trinidad will be hosting a "Board Swap," and they invited me to showcase my surfcraft along side other like minded folk. Starts at 11am and goes throughout the day. I encourage you to stop by and enjoy the view.

Fall

Fresh outa the shop a 5'6'' and 5'4'' get in early, pickle 2.0, Mini Simpletons. I shaped em' made the fins, Glassed em', and sanded em' to my specific perfection. One sold before it was even finished, (thanks Mars). The 5'4", well it's under my feet out in the water. I'll let you go for a ride if ya see me, then I'll have to convince you to trade back.

Clogs

Finished sanding and coloring some Simmons Fins today.
Love making these fins for the surfcraft that make them sing.
Two Simpleton models ready for glass and class with their new wooden shoes. 

Jupiter 1

Experimental design inspired from a dream in which I visited Jupiter. Stringerless blank with one layer of 6 oz. in red, then another in yellow, with a blue hot coat. Upcycled and refoiled sidebites supported by elevated wings, accompanied by a hand foiled baltic birch flex fin.  I can't say it's never been done, but it's the first of it's kind I've ever seen.

One Fin

All glassed up single fin for the $10 dollar blank. hand foiled from baltic birch ply and finished with layers of acrylic washes to create an opalescent effect. Can't wait to flex into some turns!
