for kameron
5'6" 21" 2 5/8" for this one i added some more tail rocker and V to accommodate Kameron's shortboard history. he got half maroon half electric blue (crappy picture) with the colors alternated on the other side to create purple rails. then he wanted to the logos and pinlines to alternate as well, nice wood fins,,,sanded gloss,,,dry deck patch for quicker waxin up stronger and lighter

for nick
heres nicks 9' 8" 23" 2 7/8" all out noserider, kept some classic color combinations, looks nice n clean. gotta a long real blended concave going into some belly that flows out the tail. nick wanted a big ol' pivot fin, but we decided to remove some width from the fin considering the tail scoop create a ton of hold in the curl, but i kept it long at 10.5" to maintain hold through severe turns with the wide tail n all. Nick wanted a really full nose and a big tail block to only further emphasis the board's noseriding capabilities. also i have been making the perimeter of the scooped out tail much more severe in the back2/3rds and it seems to be working better, the tail holds even more in the curl. the rails are turned up in the nose and maintain a more upward apex and then flow down to a 50/50 rail the tail, not too fat but not too pinched, gotta find the balance

experiments
5'0" 18.5" 2.5" mini fish, flat to single concave under the chest and out the tail. super shabby sheek fins,,,soo vogue, the glassjob on the front half of the deck worked really well and im soo stoked cause i realllllyyyy wanted that one to, unfortunately the one on the back half looks like a regular ol' swirl so it didnt work,,,,but butttt,,,but the bottom swirl did work and im really pleased with it, super vibrant colors and made some really interesting patterns that i didnt expect. the boards up for sale, im gunna give it a few wirls once the waves are existent but its for sale real cheap,,,thanks to one of my buddies the blank was complementary,,,,he cut it to 5'0" instead of 6' so i got to have it. great for small board enthusiasts or your little boy or girl.

rastafari dude, smoke a bowl, one love for cody
this is a twin fin i made up for cody.5'11" 19.5" 2.5".he decided on a rasta swirl and i didnt want it to be too in your face rasta so i shot for an earthier more organic look and am very pleased with the results. the board is fuller up front and with the help of two angled out hips ends up with a narrow tail for that looser ride that holds real solid in a critical pocket. the bottom starts flat to single concave under the chest and then spiral V starting a bit before the fins and flowing out the tail...he got glassed on wood twin fin set up with a trailer fin

for perry
5'6" 21" 2.5" perry got his fish a bit fuller and wider in the nose....keeping in mind that my fish is a bit more pulled in relative to a retro fish and foiled significantly thinner. the bottom goes from flat to spiral vee out the tail. i added some fin rope in fins to add a specific spring that i felt would have been lacking with the wood.i kept the nose and tail on the thinner side because its made to surf not float in the pool. i like leash loops. these things goo soo fast its insane.

woo hooo
this is my new one. essentially this is the double resin swirl on with some obvious tweeks. i pulled the wide point back a bit more made my heel side a pintail and shaped the rail a bit more down and more pinched and kept the toe side a square tail with a pinched 50 50. i changed the style of my scooped tail to be more severe around the perimeter and shallower in the middle to retain some foam for float, and extended the bottom and shallowed the bottom concave to increase the trim speed of the board. this glass job was quite a bit of work but well worth, alll resin no airbrushing

weaseling in
about a month and a half ago i got a job bashams (the main glass shop around here) and it has been soo rad getting to dial in my process of building boards, even just getting to get paid to do something that interests me has been soo rad. Things have been steadily getting better and better for me and i love it. life is good.

black and white is my favorite thing ever, except jesus christ my lord and savior SOLD
9'6" shredder dude..this one is soo you can turn real nice but without sacrificing noseriding...because turny logs get boring and tip time machines get boring...so make one that does both without making some lame 9' shortboard. im pretty confident this is going to be my favorite log ever....did a crazy fin panel.......decent long really blended nose concave to tight belly out the back....turned up rails the progressively go to a 60/40 pinched rail in the tail....then i have the scooped tail that i have been playing around with a lot and that is where the boards harder rails, less belly, narrower nose, less tail kick are made up.....i swear to the scoop tail,,,looks weird and feels weird at first,,,but it works so FUCKING AMAZING.....i <3 scoop tail....this board is gunna shred, its got the black white theme goin on cause i love those to colors together...black white panely strips on top, black white fin black white pinlines, and black+white make gray which is the color of the bottom.
