Adler'd

Will Adler came by the shop while Trevor and I brainstormed and shaped a new project that is keeping us both very, VERY entertained at the moment...Will shot this first one with a huge panoramic film camera:

I always have to laugh a little when people timidly ask if it's okay that they come into the shaping room while I'm mid-board or if they'd be in my way...I've USUALLY got more than my fair share of company hanging out...

New Ones In France!

Just wanted to drop a little line out there and let people know the boards for Wallako Surf Shop in Bidart, France have arrived safely and are ready for fondling!

So if you're near there, go check 'em out and say hi to the for me!!!

I have this folder in my computer called 'Friends' that I thumb through periodically to find a blog post out of; sometimes I come up with nothing interesting, and others, it works out nicely...

The past few months have taught me a lot about what I thought I already knew about life and friends; Friends are good, so have them, right? nope. Friends fvcking RULE. Our first "opening day swell" is upon us and has been for a few days and my god its good to see everyone in the water instead of in Taco Bell.

Maybe it sounds a little p00s, but I bask in the presence of my friends. This year is starting off with a bang and I can't wait to see where it goes next!

Projectz

working on a new project with Will Adler and Trevor Gordon, little bit of this, little bit of that...

I'm stoked that the whole asym. thing isn't weirding SO many people out these days, I've been working on extremely varried tail shapes and fin setups for a little over a year now and have always been a little shy about 'em...I'm stoked on the new revelations!

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.
