Things are lining up for shaping in the fall. I am gathering commitments now for shaping slots in September/October. Get with me at knsmast@gmail.com if you are interested in getting on the list.

new stock on the way
first stock board in a while; 7’2″ hillbilly hull, us blanks green density. Holler at me or see it at birD’s when it’s built.
HPH for DK
last shape for a little while. 6’10″x 22 3/4″x 3″
thanks to the cast and crew up on the hill at Bing.
fresh 7’3″ hillbilly hull
fresh from the extremely capable hands of the boys up on the hill (Bing and Jacobs), a new very light olive hillbilly hull.
7’3″x22″x2 3/4″
Somebody better claim it before I do. I’ve got one just like it back in Cincinnati for East Coast trips, but I sure miss it.
hellooo baaaby!
So stoked to be back at the factory after several weeks away. In the shaping room, I’ve got four different blanks, all favorites. Hmmmm, what is the flavor of the day. I love dilemas like this one.

introducing the lima bean!
Coming soon to Bird’s Surf Shed, the lima bean, a short, extra curvy HPH variant for generating speed on those small mushy days we all love so much.
progressing nicely
The guys up on the hill are really moving these along. Look for them at Mitch’s North soon. HPH’s (hydrodynamic planing hull/Simmons) in 5’6″ clear, 5’10” light olive, and 6’4″ caramel.
New at Mitch’s North!
The first two HPH’s (hydrodynamic planing hull) were delivered yesterday to Mitch’s North in beautiful Solana Beach. Stop by and check them out.
Mitch’s North!
I’m very pleased to announce that Mitch’s North will soon have a selection of my HPH/Simmons boards. If I could pick one shop in San Diego to place my boards, it would be Mitch’s. When I started shaping, it was Mitch that supplied everything I needed, no judgement, no hassles, no industry insider shenanigans. I’ll forever be grateful.
So stop in to Mitch’s North and see Loraine, Micah, Tony and the rest of the crew, for a legitimate old school surf shop experience.
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.
