Flex Spoon Offer

Okay, let's get right into it.
After building and riding my first spoon (and after years of waiting), I am way too excited to build another...but, therein lies my problem, I don't personally need another. 
These guys cost a lot in materials, and the labor involved is tremendous (I think that why I like it so much...I'm a glutton for board-building punishment), which is why the very few people that do make them charge upwards of $2,000.00.

Heres the deal, if a couple people want to fund another few spoons, I want to make them.  I won't charge full price, since they are experiments and learning opportunities for all involved.  I've been bitten by the spoon bug, and I want the poison to spread.  These are not easy to surf, or even paddle in flat water, they are not for the faint of heart...but with that warning, it up to you as to how far you're willing to push yourself to expand your surfing spirituality.

If you're SERIOUSLY interested in doing this with me, send me an email and I'll talk price and details with you from there.  





Novohull

Keith Novosel's new stick, measuing out at 6'9, it's got a tad more rail curve than the hullibut or she hull. the tail is a soft diamond a-la Murray, rocker is extra flat as per usual, rails are bladed for ridiculous trim-time as usual.

Keith is a talented photographer and will be taking the board on a tour of Australia in a few weeks as a water-time companion. Here are a few sweet photos he has sent me of Albers on his Vampire:

Wish I Wasn't A Loner



Custom fins from the last few days at the shop; 
The problem with making odd/'different' designs is that nobody makes fins for them...therefore...custom fins end up getting designed and foiled regularly.

Top to bottom, Murray fins for Morgan, and double foiled twin/keel fins for Josh's Mimmons.

Twin Hull For Sale


Selling a used 6' stringerless hull/fish hybrid.  Volume rich, about 21" wide and 2 7/8" thick; flat rocker, hulled entry/belly and a light single out the tail.  
Very very fun for staying on rail and carving up a face!
no open dings (ever) and light pressures, asking $280.
