Used Ones for Sale!

Okay kiddos and kidettes, I've got a couple of boards I wouldn't mind parting ways with and all of 'em are in reeeeeeal nice condition...cool, huh?

The list is as such:

6'7 triplane singlefin (70's style narrow tail). Full blue tint with cutlaps, she's a real perdy one that lends a lot of confidence in larger surf. Asking $450 obo


clovis donizetti + 6'7:


6'5 ghulliah, a more pulled in hull template that shines at reefbreaks and beachies, 2+1 fin setup (all box fins, no glassons), with a cosmic paper inlay on the deck. $450 obo:


and a 9'2 k&k professional, this is my personal board at the moment and I'm not DIEING to sell it.. but if someone wants to take ownership I'm not opposed, as it would shed light in my quiver corner for a few projects I have in mind. No pressure dents, looks and feels brand new, $700 obo:

Halona


Halona Coleman doin' it way up in Oregon on the modified 5'5 t.Rev. I thinned out the overall foil and added a little more rocker at both ends on this one. Halona is the man, and I can't believe he surfs a foiled out 5'5". If I hadn't been shaping him boards for years now I wouldn't believe he could shred something that size. 5'10 and 185 lbs + a 5mm wetsuit that's 15 lbs wet...Halona is keeping it real. We miss ya buddy!!!!

Water Lines


Kew has been sending me LOADS of video so far this fall, he's gone bananas filming lately so frame-grabs are plentiful, above is Trevor accelerating back into the pocket on the througHull, I had to chose from 6 different grabs of the same textbook turn; Trevor has got this board DOWN and rides it like an extension of his superhuman feet. Call me stoked.

I often find myself looking at the water trails in pictures and video more than the surfer, it tells me what my boards are doing and how it's interacting with each section of the wave and how it reacts to each surfer's stance/style. Below is Connor on the 7'9 v.Bowls that I lent to Travers, all of the boards that show up are pretty much communal when they hit the sand so everyone usually gets good waves on most every board...Here's CJ Soloman locked in and working on his double arm stall..


Lastly, Kew sent me this one of myself locked into a little pocket, not much for water trails and research but man...that was a fun one :)

Clovis and Trevor


Clovis Donizetti from way over in Biarritz (France) graced Santa Barbara with his presence just after my trip over there not that long ago. We found him a fun left to work with, and I lent him my Siddhartha-covered v.Bowls after watching him shred one to bits in France. Trevor snagged the same board and found some rights the next day...Two really unique styles that are 100% the product of the waves they surf regularly. I really dug watching them back to back on the same board in totally different kinds of waves so I threw together this clip to share!
