Friends Are Fun

Surfed with a few friends today and the new mini-vid camera...got some interesting screen grabs, nothing fantastic, but documenting fun times is always nice :)

Got my first session on the Tiberline hull that I shaped, and gave Steve a run on it as well (last pic).  So far SOOOOOOO good on it, super fast and slippery and locks into trim...cutbacks were effortless and full railed when you've got the shoulder to put one down!  Couldn't be much happier, and I will DEFINITELY be making some new EPS hulls after feeling the response on this thing...check how CLEEEEEEAN she flows:

Seemingly Surrounded

by endless dust.

I need to run.

Hey, i've got too much good blog material today...so check it!

I've finally got the english translation that my (fantastic and wonderfully helpful) sister in law did of my Blue Magazine (Japan) article in an online format, give it a read.  originally written and photographed by the fantastic Mr.Tomita!

and THEN!

I made a short video walkthrough of a hull that I just shaped, I don't think still photos do these boards justice so I thought I'd have a go at it with video.  It took me three takes to not sound like a total asshat:

I'm also knee deep in building a new spoon mold, i've made a small update to the swaylocks thread:

Spoon Plug - Mold - board

Been busier than ever the past two weeks in life and in "work" (I still have a hard time calling shaping "work"), shaping 2-3 boards a day.  I truly apologize if I'm slow on my email responses, I'll get back into prime e-mail form shortly!!!

Spooners!

I'm building a new flex spoon mold and started a build thread over at Swaylocks...check it out so far, i don't want to upload all the photos again!!

Flex Spoon Plug - Mold - Board Build

MORE!!!

Now with 20% more quickness, WHOAAAAAaaaAAaaaa!!!!!

and a congrats is in order for everyone's favorite Trevor Gordon and Morgan Maassen, who just snagged a nice little cover shot in the new Patagonia catalogue:

Maybe oneday he'll score a REAL cover, like the PC LookaLogue cover...psh.  ameteurs.

Glidezilla

Here is Mr.T with the big hunk of foam I just shaped for him.  He will be taking it to his favorite surf spots, and subsequently dropping a glide-bomb all over the faces of his fellow surfers.

It measures in at 11' x 23" x 3 1/4" and has thr33 stringers, observe: 

It is extremely foiled out, and has very little rocker for a board of it's length...this is an 11' hull for all intents and purposes; it has the same rails as my current 7' blade.

I am very proud to say that I shaped it...don't let anyone tell you that someone has to teach you everything you know...just buy a blank and try something out, you may end up somewhere pretty fun and make yourself pretty happy by the end of the day.
