Happy Thanksgiving!

Hawaiian Turkey Fish.

Redwood Plank

Just finished this 7'4" Redwood, Pine, Mahogany Plank. Complete with leash plug, Hemp string and small bonzer style fins. Took it out today and caught a few waves. Had good fun but I need a little more practice.

Great find

Found this 1990 Bonzer Bottom in the surf shop the other day and it surfs great. 6'6" x 19" x 2 1/2". Shaped by Pat Rawson

Classic Paipo complete!!

Just finished the paipo for Jooney today. 40"x27" 2oz glass and polished finish. Slight rocker up forward continuing to a curve-up along the rails. Bottom is mostly flat with a slight single concave in the last 1/4 out the tail.

Custom Paipo for Jooney

This is #3 in the barn door series. Custom for Jooney,40"x27"x3/4". Just got done gluing up the planks, now its time to shape.

New Stuff!!!

Been working hard in the wood shop......5'11" mahogany,pine,redwood Alaia and new bamboo,redwood,mahogany,douglas racing stripe keel fins for upcoming projects.

Guitar Skeleton Project!

While in Seattle I checked in with Homer @ HT Guitars. HT is a super talented underground guitar player/builder in the Tacoma area. I'm extremely honored to be the first artist he's asked to feature some work on his guitars. Homers waiting list spans out to over two years and one of the two that I will be working on is already sold. If you can get a hold of him ask to see his 100% recycled wood electric axe....it's truly amazing!

Seattle

I was in Seattle last week for work and was able to go see a ball game @ Safeco Field, an amazing ballpark by the way. I'm not a huge MLB fan but we enjoyed or selves even in the 100 degree heat. Seattle had some characters out and about that night for sure....While I don't support the use of weed, I admire this guy for his honesty. Looking forward to visiting Seattle again in the near future.

FAST!!!

Just finished the Paipo and had a chance to surf it today in some decent surf. i never imagined it would be so fast!!!I had difficulty trying to catch a wave at first, but with a little more effort on my part I was able to catch quite a few good ones. What a joy to ride, the speed is unreal!

PAIPO DREAMS!

Been busy in the wood shop lately....Mostly experimenting with fins, but did find some time to put this paipo together. I just finished the rails and bottom contours (double barrel out the tail) today. In the next few days, hopefully it will be glassed and ready to go. Still debating with myself about adding fins. More pics and details as we get down to the nitty gritty.

Day SiX...FINISHED!!!

The Gloss coat went down really nice, so wet sanding was a cake walk...just in time for the New South Swells!
