Feels Like Float

T.Rev Gordon, and his magical nug, aptly named the t.Rev.

Creationistic

Nick Cook photographed the drawing of a modified PC logo a couple months ago, we got a lot of good work done that afternoon but this logo didn't make the final cut :(

FLexin's

Cheyne's flex spoon v.2 in progress...slated to be done for his road trip through the northern areas of our state later this month!

This is the first spoon I've pulled out of the new mold for this particular model; I'm super stoked on how clean its all coming together for the first run; the pour foam even behaved itself this time and came out flawlessly.

Strokes 1

Young Grasshopper is displaying some skills these days...check out last week's offerings:

8' TransitionHull, 6'4" Stage III, 5'3 QuadSim...

all of which are now located at Wetsand Surfshop!

Jonny's new 7' Vampire Hull with a combo finish; Polished deck with a wetsanded bottom/rails.

And Will's new 9'4 Pointer, which came out ever so smooth...

Cool People Vol.1

So I spent some time in Santa Cruz the past few weeks and got a chance to hang out with a guy I've always wanted to chat with more but never had time to at the trade shows; Nick Palandrani of Source Surfboards.

WAIT you say, plugging other peoples shred sleds on your own blog?

YES i say! because he is that cool, and his boards are mental.

Onwards.
Nick has been shaping for centuries, and he's only 33.
Seriously give his site a look through, and if you can peep any of his boards in person you would be very pleased.

No Idea

Big and glassy...coming soon, to a point near you. Winter 2011.

Graceland

How is it when you feel like you have life figured out, that you somehow don't have any idea?

Today feels like this.

The Jam

Kyle Lightner surfing the day, and the board, that changed what I thought knew about trim.

shortly thereafter all of us took the money and ran...without any money.

Most of the time I'm looking for a fast forward button to see what the future holds, but not now, and not at all that winter.

Inspiration

Always finds me in very odd forms, but this one I understand. I have a few role models in life and the way I TRY to conduct myself...Herbie is in the top two and I don't see that ever changing.

FFWD

I'm pretty constantly mesmerized by the way hulls move through water; every curve and every line is optimized and planned to create as much speed as the wave will give...efficiency is the name of the game and to get it you don't have to sacrifice anything in terms of how 'extreme' a shape is; You just have to understand what it's meant to do and enjoy the simplicity.

If you've ridden these boards you understand what this video is showing, it looks boring but the sensation and fluidity is quite a different story.
