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.

Demo, Demo, Demo!

Come on down to Del Mar, 15th st. the first morning of the show and demo some of my boards, along with a bunch of others, at the TransWorld SURF Sacred Craft Magical Morning Board Demo.
Come and get ’em!

Last year my boards were featured, along with Sam Cody’s artwork at Chris’ second ever show. Chris has been a great friend and consultant on all things to do with surf craft.
new design ideas
Booth C9
Just signed up with Scott Bass for the 2009 Sacred Craft Surfboard Expo. The first two years were awesome and I’m really looking forward to this year. I hope to have a fair representation of the models I’ve been developing over the last several years. Hope to see you there.
Mitch’s is the sh*#

Ordered blanks from Mitch’s North today. Just wanted to thank Mitch, Loraine and all the boys there for supporting all the small time shapers out there. They have, for many years, supplied everything needed for people to remain relatively self sufficient and build boards.
Now think about that for a second. Name another activity that relies on specialized equipment, one that has been commercialized, and then see if you can find a way to create that equipment yourself. Have you ever seen a homemade tennis racket? Homemade golf clubs? Maybe a homemade canoe, but you will pay several times as much. Now here is Mitch and a few other suppliers that enable individuals to create their own boards at comparable prices.
I’d like to thank Mitch’s, Mitch’s North, and all of the other suppliers that make this possible.
Eric’s Hillbilly Bonzer

I made this board for Eric Swesey. He wanted a hullish bonzer and here it is. Eric is a great illustrator. Check him out here.
My beloved 7’11”

I shaped this board in ’04 along with a batch of three others. The color struck me so I kept it for myself (product developement and all). It soon became a favorite. I surfed the largest waves of my life on it. The most fun, however, were the days at Tourmaline when it was about waist high, and I’d sit with IRS Dave and Larry and pick off waves that most people thought you needed a long board for. So glidey. I caught SanO this past June and the day was just about perfect. Overhead on the outside with a nice south push at low tide. Sittin’ with a bunch of guys bitchin’ about there ten footers not being long enough. I had a great time on my 7’11”. It ain’t the size of your stick, it’s the amount of trim you get with it. Get it?
