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.

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

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.
