More T-Belly slidin’…this time in Peru
James, one of my customers from Nor Cal, was kind enough to send me this POV video of him enjoying a loooong left at Puerto Chicama, Peru. Here’s the T-Belly he’s riding
Late summer noserider, Part 2…
Finally picked up my new 10-0 Classic. Just the ticket for those small days at the Point. Dims are 18-3/4″x23-1/2″x15-3/4″ 3-1/4″ thick. This board has the typical “Classic Model” features: half-length, blended nose-concave, moderate tail-“V”, low entry rocker and… (READ MORE)

Another happy customer…
This board has been on the market for quite a while. Not sure why. I rode it more than a half-dozen times and always found it to be a great, all-around longboard. Finally Dan, who has owned a few of… (READ MORE)
Customer feedback…
Back in November I shaped a Kingfish for surfer David O. in San Clemente. I finally got a chance to catch up with David and this is what he had to say about his Kingfish… “Just wanted to update you… (READ MORE)
Combating the summertime blues…
North of LA, surf quality takes a turn for the worse in the summertime. Long periods of 1′-2′ dribblers, punctuated by the occasional (some would say “rare”) south swell is pretty much the case. Finding an alternative ocean activity is… (READ MORE)
