Just received this bit of art from Eric Swesey. Artist, surfer, friend. A whimsical inspired performance.

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.
New 6’11” HPH
For Dave.
New Boards @surfindian
New at Surfindian.
6’0″ polka moo: Geppy #2’s, 6×6(6), gloss and polish. Beak nose, downrail, arc tail
6’7″ HPH speedster: Geppy #2’s, 6×6(6), smoke tint bands top and bottom, gloss and polish. Too sweet.
Busy Weekend
Crazy weekend in the Mainstrasse. Oktoberfest was in full swing and so was the shop. Next stop San Diego!
guitar tweaks
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!
Boards on the way!
Along with the boards for Holly,Patricia and Jeremy, which are all coming along nicely at the Bing factory, are a few new boards destined for Surfindian.
6’0″ HPH beaked downrailer, Geppy #2’s, cool polka dot smoke on clear resin job from Bing, polished gloss top and bottom.
6’7″ HPH Speedster (what I ride), Geppy #2’s, black/smoke/clear band progression resin job from Bing, gloss and polish top and bottom.
7’7″ Cali Fun Gun (semi-gun), single box, blue/grey 50/50 resin job from Bing, satin gloss top and bottom. Winter is coming!
All boards will be showing up at Surfindian soon unless you snag them from me first. Thanks
