Custom Everything

The cool thing about ordering a custom board, is precisely that, it's custom. Shape, colors, fin setup, and even the logos that you want glassed in it are totally your call. The end result is a board that is truly one of a kind.

Color in Cursive


So, I attempted my first resin swirl last night. It is far more difficult that just laying out color and mixing it around. Unless you are a veteran at this technique it's hard to know what the final product will turn into. Overall I am happy with the results and with the how seamless the cutlap came together, but I have some work to do before I can earn the title of Swirlmaster J.

Open for Business!


Just received a batch of blanks and fins from my latest California trip. I can now shape anything from a 6'0" fish to a 9'8" log. This photo represents about half of it. I have multiple colors of thruster, quad, and twin keel, and single fins in stock as well. My pigment assortment has grown considerably as well with a new selection of earth tones. Let the shaping begin!

Stoked!!!




I just delivered my first pair of boards to Third Coast Surf Shop. Ryan now carries two variations off of a longboard template I have been riding over the past year, called the Log Jammer and the Log Splitter. The 9'2" Log Jammer (the blue and orange board) has a blunt nose, rounded pin tail, with a pronouned tail rocker to help hold the board in a wave while cross stepping. The 9'0" Log Splitter is a narrower board with pronounced vee in the rounded pin tail for wave manueverability. Thanks Ryan, It's an honor to have a couple boards in your shop.

Surfboards Love Color


Working double overtime to get these two Single Fin longboards done. They will find their home at the Third Coast Surf Shop next weekend.

Epoxy Dreams



Crazy things happen in the shaping bay, especially when you have been huffing epoxy all weekend. The secret 6'6" gets a bottom laminate in coke bottle green. The deck patch is next up with a design that came to me in a dream. This board is a complete mystery, I don't even know what is going to happen next!?

Ghost Knife, Yes!!!



The Ghost Knife finally went home this Friday night. Upon seeing the board for the first time Scott gave a resounding fist pump - knee up, with a "Yes!!!" This man is stoked and I can't wait to see him surf it. It was an absolute pleasure shaping you this board Scotty, I hope that it serves you well.
