Joe’s new board

7′1″ diamond tail downrailer. Based on watching Morning of the Earth about a million times and reading anything I could find on Michael Peterson and his boards.

Beautiful glass by Channin, as always. Fin by Bahne (Fins Unlimited).

another stint “on the hill”

Can’t wait to be shaping again at Channin. Feels like forever. Got a few ideas rattling around. I’m gonna hug my bus as soon as I get there.

Andre’s finished cover up!

Click here for a “before” photo. A little better than a pot smoking skunk, I think, for our favorite truck driver.

Mahalo Hawaiian Surf Club of San Onofre

Hawaiian Surf Club of San Onofre Christmas Party

I would like to extend my gratitude to my friend Kai for his invitation to join the Hawaiian Surf Club of San Onofre for their Christmas party. The event was held at the Surfing Heritage Foundation and was a nice family style get together. Great company, good food and music and a warm holiday vibe.

with Paul Strauch Jr.

I had the honor and pleasure of meeting Paul Strauch Jr. there. Surrounded by all of the historic boards there and then talking to Paul about them, I could not help feeling the flow of surf history, past to present. Quite a treat.

Happy Tom’s 10′0″

The board in the rack here at the Sacred Craft Expo ‘08 is one I made for Happy Tom of Turbo Negro. He has been unable to get it to his place in Costa Rica due to airline restrictions on length and so has decided to part with it. It is available through Chris at Surfindian in Pacific Beach. It’s a round pin noserider with Sam Cody color work. Very lightly used and in good shape.
