STOLEN SLED!

Some kook stole Kyle Albers' Pizzabox, the most shreddin'ist board he's made yet and thats a real crappy thing to do. If you see someone shredding this super unique board, bring Kyle some justice, please:






Weekday Bouree


enjoy :)



The footage was shot by Michael Kew on a recent weekday, the boys putting it down and having a ball in the early-season that we wait months for every year.

I'm truly blessed to be able to provide my best friends with the equipment necessary to have a really. good. time. in the water; this video is fun stuff and is what I love so much about the small community that we've built around friendship and surfing.

Contained is about 70% v.Bowls, 5% Silky Love, 10% Triplane Single and 15% Squashed t.Rev.

The song is Bouree by Jethro Tull, and if you really wanna see them get into it, check out this gem:

Moving Day

Trevor and I tackled my new shaping diggs yesterday, I couldn't be much happier with its 'ness'...it feels like a larger boatyard, which as some of you know was very special to me over the past few years.


For the past few months as I sort out my life it's been a storage space for my shop and life supplies as well as a few of the property owner's boxes...we found some pretty interesting stuff:


I made a model B-17 with my brother and my dad when I was super young, it was the first group project that I truly remember and the airplane hung in my brother and my bedroom well into high school. One of the few remaining bombers left in operation flew over our house here and there as it left from Boeing Field up and over the city and eventually right over our house, it was always a neck-craned and silence-stricken moment when it would buzz the house...finding this was a kick:




Trevor dug this one out of a box a few minutes later:


By the end of the day we organized everything and packed it back into the room ready for building day today...


I'm. very. excited.

What Happens When...

...You take a v.Bowls and chop it to 7'4" x 21" x 2 7/8", pull the tail in close to 2" and put the most cosmic wide-point-back curves you can muster into the deck?

Something like an ultra-shreddy spaceship of a surfboard:


Then what if Gregg Tally taught you how to do the REAL old-school acid-abstracts?


I'm beyond myself with this style of abstract, the limits of it are so intriguing and unfathomable to me right now. A whole new can of worms has been opened for me and my obsession with colors and textures.


Trip out. This board lives at Wetsand Surfshop for now, I'm sure it won't sit for long so if you're curious to lose yourself into the depth of this board's deck, go check it out:


Seriously...zoom in, the details are a total mindf*ck.

Slide Magazine


Yeeeeeeeeeeeew!!!
So stoked....10 whole pages of photos and a big fat (uncensored...heh...) interview about the state of 'things'. Snag one when you see one, film-maker Steve Cleveland also has a sweet interview in there that I had a good time reading, worth the search.

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:
