Tea-Bags

Trevor has his very own in-house sweatshop and started selling custom board socks that are usually reserved for him and....him.

They are pretty hefty fabric, and the first two are cut specifically for hulls, which is a breath of fresh air!

Priced more than fairly at $60.00 and $70.00.  Have a look see at the finest TeaBags you may ever set your eyes upon:

Some really nice sacks...

He's got a few more pics on his new blog; Tea-Revor.

 

Hand Over Your Heart Lets Go Home

6'2 Hullibyte, 5'8 VeloSim.

Now you know what happens when the customer leaves the colors up to me :)

I Stopped Eating Chips, So Here's that 5'2 In Action

The demo 5'2" quad/velosim/other has started making the rounds in the local crew and found it's way under the talented feet of Trevor Gordon yesterday morning.

The following are a few shots of the two of them getting along in the pretty average conditions, review by TG says that it gets into some serious speed with some serious ease, and when you get over the fins and dig the tail in, she comes around quicker than Barley.

that was pretty much the idea...stoked :)

The Hood's Been Good To Me Since I Was a Lower Case G

Vampire hull and Albers wish you a happy friday!

Wetsuit Review...Nineplus

Just got my new wetsuit in the mail the other day...the new version of my favorite-ever Nineplus 3/2 fullsuit.  The thing got shipped from the UK and was here in less than 5 days...beyond happy with that alone; then i used it...

...i kept thinking that i peed in it 'cause i was so warm, but i KNOW i didn't, i promise...it was just that roasty toasty.  the thing is a frickin ninja suit, extra light and stretches more than i would ever need it to.  the rubber (yamamoto) is frikkin' insane.  btw the session i speak of was a cold/overcast/fogbanky eve a few days ago at sundown...def. not a bright sunny trunk-wearing day. 

cheaper than a chinese made corpo-brand suit, and a good pound ++ lighter dry...prob. about 2 lbs + lighter in the water/in use...I'm trying to stop blabbing, but i don't understand why people don't wear more of these, they blow my mind every time i surf, so do me a favor and look them up and seriously consider it next time you're in the market.

I haven't thought about getting a day job in a long long time, but i'd totally rep. for these guys 'cause they're

just.

that.

epic.

oh. and. they make you look 10 pounds lighter.....see, look how small the glider looks:

When We Were Stangers...

...I watched you from afar.

...When we were lovers,

I loved you with all my heart.

I Really Hate to Spoil This One...

But I'm WAY too excited about it...7'11 mini-glider for Jonny.

Fabric is from the Indian market over on State st...I've walked by there at least 3 times a week for the past 5 years, always imagining one of their tapestries as an inlay.  

Sharpened

7'1 hullibut foil with panel flex tail.

This Swell in Fuzzy Pictures

Trevor in the office, glidering and hulling on sat...

Albers took care of business on sunday w/the vampire hull:

Herbie took care of business at the park:

And I took care of business with a spoon:

The World Is Falling Apart

No blanks...Broken grinder (halfway through a spoon build!!!)...No rolls of 6oz to be seen...What gives?!?!!?!?

Ready to hit the ground running tomorrow when hopefully ONE of these problems can be solved...'till then:

Ohmy

5'5" x 20 1/4" x 2 3/8" SDq.

The Hullibyte

6'2 x 22 x 2 3/4, Hullibut template squished down to 6'2, this one's got a very round bottom through the tail for extra-fun rollage and projective railtime. 

...that sounds like a good band name; Projective Railtime.

Mysto Shop

Who's naaaaasty, un-named shop is THAT appearing in the latest issue of Deep?

This one, too, came as a total surprise...found it whilst in the car to trader joe's...

Count one more un-captioned, sidebar, and/or non-descript mag. appearance.  w00t!

Spoonage

5'0 Spoon, full velo type this time...bottom will be glassed, then the deck ground down to the bottom layer of glass, then the deck gets glassed; 12 layers in all, pre-foiling.

80% of the foam in the picture will not exist in the final board.
