New 7’5″ Malibu/SD hull

This one is for the Paducah kid, you know who you are (Rich) (not you angry Rich). It’s a hybrid of a full Malibu hull with some concave running out the back for San Diego (as in not perfect point breaks). The rails are as knifey as it gets and it is oh so foiled. Coming soon to Surfindian, unless someone claims it first.

Crazy weekend in the Mainstrasse. Oktoberfest was in full swing and so was the shop. Next stop San Diego!

guitar tweaks

1 09 2011

Thanks to Darren Whitmer at Brown Forman Cooperage for the piece of scrap white oak. It came from a bourbon barrel stave destined for either Jack Daniels, Woodford Reserve, or Old Forester. It made the perfect block for my tremolo modification on my newly acquired St. Blues Bluescaster. This is one sweet guitar and I’m in the process of dialing it in. What could be better than a bourbon barrel stave for this project? American white oak!
