for kane

heres a 5'8" 18.25" 2.25" ripper model for kane...kane just wanted a high performance shortboard for doing all the ripping hold tight lines in the tube krankin cutbacks and punts. so here i came up with this, wide point a tad forward to help with paddling and holdin it down in the tube and then pulled the tail in pretty narrow,,the board has a good amount of rocker and he wanted to have some real thin pinched rails but in order to give him those rails and maintian some kind of volume for versatility i gave him a real low angled down rail all behind the center,,not like a 70's board at all a lot more mellow and the tail ends up with a nice flat panel to shred on top of...the bottom is single to double concave with flat out the tail and although theres a decent amount of rocker the entry rocker is still a pretty straight curve which will help out with the boards planning.....got the carbon tail patches and fcs thruster fin set up.....things gunna shred

for john

this one is for john..he wanted a log that could noseride real well but didnt want a full on one demensional noserider..so i came up with this. 9'8" 23" 3" it has medium wide nose to help with noseriding, but then has a curvey tail with a pulled in tailblock to help with turning. the board has a low entry rocker to keep forward momentum through trim, paddle, and tip ridin' with a long blended nose concave to give the nose some stability and lift....i like them long and blended. then there is a good amount of tail rocker to further help with the turning ability and noseriding..then the rails are turned up and pretty full up front to help with paddling trim in weak waves and release while noseriding or stabing the white kinda mushed up part of the wave..then the rails progressively get more pinched but not crazy pinched just something to get a little bite through turns and then maintains a 50/50 placement. some moderate roll going out the back....and uh yeea...its single fin box...volan with a deck patch ....polished out all nice...half inch red cedar stringer...i wanna try this board reall bad i made sure he knew that...so if i feel like it ill give you a personal review and his review.

2 for Jeff 1 for Kam 1 for Wes

 6'1" like 20"wide and 2.5" thick a dumpster diver for jeff, light 4x4 4 glass with carbon ,,,low rocker single concave to vee out the tail,,,five fin boxes for options,,,made to rip it up and those not soo ripable days.

 6'3" 19something wide 2.5 thick also for jeff,,,he lives by state park and wanted something to shred it up there...so here is a medium rockered rounded pintail shredder. single concave to spiral vee out the tail...light glass job with carbon tail patches...five fin boxes for the option thing.. fuller rails but not too chunky

 this one is for kameron 5'10" 19.5" 2.5" for kameron,,,just a longer slightly wider version of my brown shred pill below. his rails are foiled thin for hold and drive, lighter glassjob he got that floral paisleyesque print to cover up the carbon fiber he got...the carbon fiber patches a re impressively strong,,,my person pill is all dented up around the patches but there are little to no dents on the carbon ...five fins for options...thruster helps out with a little more stability and loosens it up for beach breaks and all that while the quad set up is fast fast not sloww,,good for point breaks or cleaner lined more predictable surf.  single concave to triplane vee out the tail.

6'0" 18.25" 2.25" thruster for Wes he got a lower rocker but not too low board for easy paddle and helps keep the board moving in our generally weaker surf..he wanted some color work on the deck soo he wouldnt have to whip out the spray paint so i did this kinda tribal almost feeling thing came out sick is butt crack. he got the standard lightweight glassjob 4x4 4...foiled out perfomance rails.........


i have been doing lots of shorties...working on some more too. got a log almost done and some blanks on order.....hit me up for a pool toy mat-tm@hotmail.com. 

these two bad girls are going to do some nice things

heres 2 fresh ones with the templates cut out...he got a 6'3" round pin and a 6'1" dumpster diver..both boards are clear sanded finish with carbon tail patches and 5 future finboxes,,you know for lots of options 25 different fin placement combinations plus the endless amounts of fins..if only he was getting FCS then we could put them backwards too. odd how everyone gets shortboards from a guy that predominately rides logs...but i do like shaping them, a different mindset.
