loiuyhhjk



 heres a new one finished up reaalllllll quick for kameron there...he used to ride alll shortboards then he went to the funner boards...but progressively he getting his shortboard groove back in sight....this is a pretty full shortboard at 5'10" 2.25 19" with some width on the the ends...the board has a little kick at either end but has on overall low rocker the bottom is single to double concave with flat off the tail he got glass ons the rails are slightly fuller than a traditional highperformance shortboard but the tail is a bit boxier and fuller. i glassed the board with a super super light blue tint and the fins and logos are dark blue fins especially look black....he got the carbon fiber thing and he is frothing over it...sick



this is a shortboard i did for max it is 5'10" 18.5" 2.25" it is really similar to the one i did for kane just below its just a little fuller in the rails and wider.....so yea just read the board descrition below its like the same....he got the custom glass ons one pink and two cheetah/black fins. then he went for the carbon front foot patch....it looks a little kookie and also super sick at the sametime but it really does make a big difference...i highly recommend an additional something should be added to lightly glassed boards on the front and rear fin. he loves this thing too...i surfed with kane the other day the guy below and max but kane is super super pumped on his well and it really enjoyed watching him surf that things he was ripping soo hard...gotta love when someone is not only pumped on a board you built them but when they absolutely rip the thing too.

soo sick







so this is a new one its a 9'9" 21.5" and 3.5" shes been  on my mind for years now actually and ive been loving this thing....its narrow and has a pretty straight outline the rocker is super super super flat so it inherently gooooooooesss soooooo fast the bottom is just roll and the rails in the middle are pretty thick but the board has and overall low rail line with some pinch to it so it has a lot of drive through turns....the best way to describe it is a longboard/hull so it has that feel of a hull real forward trim locks into the pocket but then has longboard feel through turns. the deck got somewhat of a kelp tint and one of them abstract bottoms and like teal turqoise pinline and logo on the bottom with a finbox. the board isnt a super heavy glassjob so that helps out with manueverability and this thing is sooo fast its a different kind of surfing just beating sections you never beat and go up and down the wave turn bottom turn all this it feels much more like a dance on the wave than you just ripping it up its nice i love it. it has a 3/4" red cedar stringer and it is sick it doesnt noserider super well you have to bee in a nice lined up steeper section..you noseride more for trimming through a section than to just perch and stall in the pocket all day. i really like this board...literally a different type of surfing than what i have been doing....i really like having boards that are more on the extreme end of things because board building is such a balance. you have to give and take certain things that may allow for this but takes away that...so when you just decide to make a board that is more focused on a specific kind of surfing you end up with a board that works insane as long as conditions of the wave and yourself prohibit. you go faster than you have ever gone noseride longer than ever hardest turns a board that holds in bigger waves all kinds of things...also im not re reading what i just wrote so you can deal with the fact that i just wrote a rant like always.
