(t.revor gordon, last week)

Funny, how every year the opportunity for progression of surfboards and self seem to grow; I always wonder if that will have been the most productive and joyous year to date; if the energy will soon dissipate.

Then the unthinkable happens, without fail. That next step/occurrence/year blows it away. It's unrelenting.

I'm starting to think that age/time is quite relative, it's all an expanding timeline of progress and learning; maybe we should stop celebrating every year, and celebrate every day instead.

Be Present.

...Feels like climbing a ladder that only gets more stable the farther we get away from the ground. The earth is a good reference point below you, but the only experience that truly matters is the rung that we find ourselves grasping in this exact moment. It's your choice to climb, stop, or retreat back to earth.

up.

up.

and away, friends.

(Tank the cat, shortly after sniffing and deeming worthy, pissed all over the tail of the board, claiming it for his own. We were humbled and I was beyond honored. Thanks Tank.)

the ThrougHull

100% hand shaped, laminated, hotcoated, finboxed, sanded and polished by RL for Trevor Gordon and his upcoming trip to the Indian Ocean:

This one's 6'7"; A widepoint-centered hull with pinched rails, some forgiving [fatter] tail foil-age and a continuous, mellow rocker. She's shaped and built for controlled, ultra-trimmed-out-tube-riding and warping gaffs in crystal blue water at a rather special little [or not, we hope] wave somewhere in the Indian Ocean as well as having full capabilities here and around Southern California's fine reef and beachbreaks this summer.

Purpose built and 100% custom for a close friend. Couldn't be better.

t.Rev's Down Unda'

Two of the pile of boards I shaped in Byron Bay a few weeks back; 2 + 1 t.Rev's.

One severely foiled out (think shortboard-esque foil), the other foiled like the orig. t.Rev (thicker tail/nose)

Over @ Six Ounce Board Store in Manly, NSW.

and a bonus...Trevor on the Fush (higher perf. foiled out/triplane twin fish) in the new Surfer Magazine via the ever vigilant Morgo Maassen :

suhWEEEEEET!
