Thanks Greg for helping us out when we visited Japan.  Sorry for the long wait on your order!

Here’s all six

Surfings iconic shaper…

Locked down in the shop lately finishing Greg’s order.  Had a chance to get away for a quick road trip while Pupo was doing the polishes.  Chris Vail, Justin “the Jeweler”, and I loaded the van with a Device, a board named Karl, a couple softies and went south.

Our friend Grant Nakata took Karl for a spin at Bolsa

Afternoon in Newport surfing with Chrys King

Pool at Blackie’s By The Sea

I don’t usually name boards but this one’s named “Karl”

Classic….

‘Greg’ asked for:  “a 10′ pig with a big redwood stringer with an abstract and images of the sun“.

So I did some resin inspired by the Abstract Classicists of the west coast in the 50’s .  Hope he’s ok with that.

Next it gets a fine sand, polish, a few pictures, boxing, then it’s gone via airmail with crossed fingers.

6′3″ Speedhull for Greg Surf Company:

9′4″ Customized Flexfoil for Alex:

Shelby and Keren own a handful of this model with the exact same dims.  The latest one is a flex version (tow weight foam, 6oz flat weave volan, and iso resin).

hi gene,  keren made it back safe and sound. we have both been able to ride the new v flex for the last two days and we both agree that it is the most lively and focused surfboard we have ever ridden.  after riding the flex we will probably want another one. this board is really amazing. hope your doing well,  Shelby

Hey Gene, here are some images of the Flex-V in action.  It is an amazing board and we fight over it all the time.   We want another Flex-V, just like this one. There is something so alive about it, you can do so much more from the nose and it has this rhythm about it that moves with ones own.  I don’t know how to explain it all I know is I really want one too. - Keren

Wish I was there

Found photo of my friend Rick and I from ‘77.  Rick was a technical adviser, glasser, and ding repairer during the filming of Big Wednesday.  Between the location shoots he would bring the movie boards home to work on.

Boards shown include a couple of our personal hulls,  assorted movie prop boards, and the beautiful balsa gun I’m leaning on that was shaped by R. Dick.
