One of the earlier hillbilly hulls, shaped in 2004. I had shaped three boards from a 70s Frye egg that all surfed well but had too much tail width for anything approaching overhead. So I pulled in the tail and gave it more of a thinman nose and contoured the bottom with what is now my standard hillbilly hull bottom; belly-concave-double concave. There’s a lot of edge at the tail for release and a very flat rocker, especially down the center. This is easily the fasted board I’ve ever had and works from knee high Tourmaline to double overhead Cliffs.

I’ll keep ‘em coming
29 05 2009My beloved beast of a ride for a while. I have to say I’m much happier with my “68 VW bus. Smaller truck, smaller headaches. Room for a few boards and my tired body to lay down. It’s really all I need.

new boards
24 05 2009Well the new HPH for Joe should be ready. I also did a hillbilly hull with a new twist. Instead of belly-single concave-double concave, I kept the concave single on through the tail. After riding my HPH i thought perhaps the single would hold more water for even more drive. It’s got a Fins 101 bamboo hull fin designed by John at Mitch’s North and will feature a pond scum green tint. Should be interesting.
I also still have a couple hillbilly hulls at The Pod Room. Check ‘em out next time you’re in Oceanside.

Into the shaping room
20 05 2009Heading up onto the hill to Channin’s to do a few new boards. Looking at the possibilities of finless designs. Also perhaps a belly bottom, old school log, just for fun. Who knows? Did a hillbilly hull with a deep single concave last time that I can’t wait to see. Sam Cody called today to dial in the pinline colors. Sweet.
