BalsaSalsa

I previously mentioned a 9'6 chambered balsa wood d.Bowls...


here it is :)


9'6" x 23 x 3 1/8" and weighs in around 35 lbs...outrageous glide potential is held within.



Unchambered (I do the chambering after it's rough shaped) balsa blanks resemble...well...a big block of wood, about 1/4" of rocker nose and tail, and a dead flat deck.  Meaning that fully hand-shaped balsa boards from unchambered blanks are truly special and to me, works of art.  I'm proud to have finished my first...


it IS up for grabs, if you were wondering.



and it got the same stamp that I always put in my boards, but this time hammered in, instead of pushed by thumb.......ha!

Glass Ruv

Some r&d with the wee video cam, my 7'1 hull, one of Jonny's tubercle fins and Connor yesterday after working on the balsa d.Bowls all morning...
 







there's something seriously amazing about building and riding surfboards....and sheet glass mini-tubes with one other person out.

Sign

minor hosting troubles with the new site...keep yer pants on, i apologize!

maybe this will help?


got some super duper fun waves yesterday with some good friends, then cruised back north and surfed a spot that RARELY breaks and had some really fun little knee high zippers with some backwash and a dead seal on the beach, reminding us of the name of the spot and the warning that is in effect for swimmers/surfers right now...haha....hm............

the new PC website is launching tomorrow, meaning there is a new gallery section, new boards, new photos, new videos, articles, and biggest of all, a

new online store

for buying shred sleds, t-shirts, hats, and all kinds of other weird stuff from my friends!
i've been working my butt off in the shaping room and all over the place getting this all ready and I can't wait for you guys all to see it; all of the boards are RAD and all of the shirts are made in California, not overseas!

They'd Hear Just a Tone...



...Not understand my love for words.



Experimentation on/in/around the finless realm; i find what Derek Hynd is doing to be the most relevant and positive influence in surfing today.  Without getting too poetic, he's blowing my mind.
