Bunny Stronghand

Ari Browne @ Lennox with the Rabbit's Foot/Bunny Stronghand/the Chihuahua's Face...

Ari is 19 and blew me away when I saw him surfing the Rabbit's Foot; with less than 8 sessions on it he was absolutely destroying on it.

Always in the pocket and in tune with the wave's speed and the board's ability to utilize it. Ari is now the owner of that variation of the Foot and I'm sure some interesting things will take place between them at home in Byron Bay; I'm pretty stoked I decided to shape and glass that one the day before I left for Oz!

Rabbits Foot for Oz

Start | Finish

My last-minute prepareation for my quickly upcoming visit to Australia...curious to see what happens on this between Noosa and Byron and all the shredders I'll be visiting!

Rabbits Foot Video

I've been very blessed lately in the realm of fun projects; this is one of them.

The Rabbits Foot is a finless surfboard that's been a really fun project between some finless-fanatics; Dan Malloy came to me with a half-started project that Dan was calling the Rabbits Foot, it was under way and there was a solid and very interesting design theory but it needed to be executed and wrapped up. I shaped and glassed the little monster with a substantial question mark in my head about it...then he and Trevor surfed it and the project had some legs to run on!

The orange board here is the second version, keeping the same basic design elements and altering the package pretty heavily, when compared with a discerning eye. Version 2 went to Trevor Gordon who got some really fun results, this video is a session in small waves, though this version seems to perform best on bigger waves. There are 2 other variations so far, Ryan Burch owns one, and Michael Kew owns the last. Another is in the works and will be heading with me to Australia shortly.

#3

One funkafied project for an esteemed colleague, Ryan Burch.

I feel like my brain is being torn in 3 by totally different designs/genres right now...more ideas blasting around my head than I know what to do with so I bought a pile of blanks today to start getting deeper.

Rabbit's Foot

Somewhere in the neighborhood of 4'10 and rips 'da pit. I seen it wit' my own two eyez.

My finless design ideas just got re-routed pretty severely and we're on to much greener pastures! Two very talented surfriders were blowing my mind last night on this thing. Pulling the closest thing to a cutback I've seen yet, accelerating back into the whitewater. I'm sure with a couple of slight modifications and a bit more riding we'll get it there and solve that nasty little problem.

The rule book that was thrown out the window just got booted off the lawn it landed on.

Deja Vu

By the time we got to woodstock, we were half a million strong.
