HERBIE WILL EAT YOUR FACE OFF WITH LITTLE TO NO HESITATION.

SurferMag Fame and Fortune

Well Blogosphere, this is it, I've made the big time...The checks are rolling in, mostly into my offshore accounts.

I've moved to europe and am shaping only for Oprah and Bono.  When I want.  

So long stinky, dismal Santa Barbara...nothing can stop me now, you can ALMOST tell it MIGHT be me in that tiny orange picture behind the subscription tag:

Here is the first page of the article (its in the new massive annual issue of Surfer Magazine, page 257):

Itty bitty photographer that I'm stepping on all the way to the tippity top of boatyard-board-building fame: Morgan

Murray Update

Murray has been finished and surfed (i'll let the guys give their own reviews, no blood was shed over who got to surf the board when, but it got close a few times), Morgan and Miles drove up to Ocean Beach with me for the weekend to hand off Murray and the Ice Cream fish to the fellows at Mollusk Surfshop to sample for a few weeks

M. and the Indo hull.

...The boards should be hanging out in the shop up there if anyone in the northlands is curious to see them!

Indoooo

Todd G.'s 7' indo-bound hull...sometimes it DOES pay to be a goofy-footed-hull rider...

I f*ing <3 Pizza

Two very fine and very different examples of my true favorite craft, the pizza.  Top, from Mesa Pizza Co...the finest in the land.  Support your local pizza builders.

New Boards

Reid G.'s custom 6'1" x 20 1/8" x 2 5/8"  WRP, with the king of the boatyard.

and Tony W.'s one-off 6'8" Roundpin for Fiji...jealous.

More Water Shots

Trevor gliding around on the Hullibut last week...waves have been less than epic up here but there have been a few hullable lumps.

Thats in Lbs. :)

The bottom contours showed up nicely in this photo, vee entry to a long double, blending into a single out the tail; I'm really proud to be shaping these boards and to be part of developing our build method over the past two years...They've hit a new level lately and I'm very very pleased!
