wrapping up… looking forward

Well the Feb/Mar trip was really good. Completed all my orders, and few for Bird’s Surf Shed. Special thanks to the Gordons and the amazing crew at Custom Surf Glass/G&S for making me look good. Also thanks to Bird’s Surf Shed, Stunning Foil, Greg Surf Company, Mitsven, and everyone else who continue to have faith in my shapes, and make it all possible.

We also got a good start on making our little vessel Wren our own. So more frequent trips are in the offing.

Looking forward to our next trip, likely May/June. I’ve got my order list started already, and also have lined up with Fins Unlimited to have fins produced.

Hope to see you in the lineup…

Well we have made it to San Diego. Thank you to all the family and friends along the way for making it such a great trip so far.

Stopped by Mitch’s North on the way down to Custom Surf Glass/G&S, where I’ll be spending my time shaping. It’s a great feeling, knowing all of the good folks who help make it all happen. I am grateful to them all…

hull? in San Diego?

I was reminded Wednesday, why a keep a hull in the bus, even though I surf in San Diego. I got to Tourmaline kind of late (9:30 a.m.). There was no swell called. The line up was textured and uncrowded. The sets were, however, coming in about waist high and although sectiony, ran on through to the inside. I pulled out my 6’7″ HPH, mid Simmons for my nephew, and my 7’3″ Malibu/SD hull for myself.

The feeling of carving down the line and cutting back with your feet about ten inches apart is nothing short of sublime. Lean it over, and it turns. Bury the rail, and it flows on through. It’s like that favorite 70’s slalom board, no kicktail, just carving. It makes all the other days of moving it around and out of the way in the bus totally worthwhile.
