RabbitsFoot

Ryan Burch

I made Ryan a Rabbits Foot for going left a couple weeks back so he cruised up and we had a nice little adventure weekend searching out backwards waves for him to test it on. So far I've made about 5 of these little guys, each with a few tweaks on the overall concept of the design. Burch's is the most severe and complex to date; though compared to other finless designs rather understated in my opinion. What I'm after is a clean finless board, with one or two major elements vs. 657 channels running all over the board...so far so very good.

Praises To They

Its Travers week apparently!

His extremely photographically talented brother, mr.Will Adler, sent me over a clip of Travers this week on the v.bowls so I pulled this frame grab from it which makes me very happy. Travers exudes a stoke and enthusiasm that, so far in my life, is unmatched and serves as a healthy reminder to get amped. The sensibilities and subtleness in Will's work shows Travers' style, attitude and weirdness at it's purest. Seeing what comes from these two's adventures together is one of my greatest joys in my present life and I get all kinds of giddy when I see a note from Will containing the goods!

Praises to the brothers Adler, I'm glad that Morgan's video this week gave the surf world a little injection of happiness and stoke!

Custom Especial

When Rodrigo ordered his 8' v.Bowls, I asked the time-old question, "What are you thinking on colors?" to which he effortlessly replied, "Of course, its all in your power...whatever you feel like."

I admit I took a bit of a risk on this one, but when it was all put together as one surfy-craft, I fell in love.

After spending some back home in Washington a few months ago I couldn't keep myself from using the four most basic Northwest-Native-American-art colors on a board, and Rodrigo said the magic words..

The translucent white pigment deck over the dark abstract rails looks so insane in person. You can just barely see the abstract details through it's milky complexion (zoom in on the detail shot of the deck above).

I'm pretty proud of this one, it could have gone horribly wrong and went so far the opposite way that Rodrigo was shaking when he picked it up :)

6'7 Flextail Stub F/S

More often than not when people ask if I have any stock boards for sale the answer is no. But right now, the answer is yes.

One of them. This one.

She's a 6'7 SB Stub that I threw a glass panel flex tail on...sanded/matte finish for ultimate wave- speeding. $750 and bingobango she's your new ride!

email me at ryankentlovelace@gmail.com if you wanna come give it little a feel-up and then some!

Travers!
