When I started shaping the Secret, I couldn't help but shape one for myself. 6'6" x 21" x 2 5/8" I also went with the five fin boxes so I can mix it up. Inspired by the Firewire Dominator, and almost ready to shred.

Color Swatches


Here's a sample of the pigments and tints I have in stock. The opaque colors in the first photo will not change by adding more or less pigment. The translucent colors in the second photo will change, becoming deeper and darker as more tint is added.

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.
