New Boards

I’m back to taking orders and we’re moving out finished boards. Collecting lots of pictures and have to update the “CUSTOMERS PAGE”  on the website.  Until then here’s a glimpse of a few that went out last week.

LOOK INSIDE THE COOPERFISH CALENDAR

The 2010 Calendar displays the 12 best boards I ever made.  If you follow my line of boards then this is a must have item. Here’s a look inside the pages. Click on the photo and it will take you to a big file, click on that photo to get to the online store page.

View all 12 boards on display now thru the end of December at the Surfing Heritage Gallery .  Come and see these boards while they’re still all together.

IN SEARCH OF THE PERFECT PIG.

Blackboard Proto#1 is under Mike Black’s feet now and I’m building prototype#2 (2of3)for the Blackboard Pig project. He’s liking the first one but on #2 were going to dig deeper.  Like always I’m taking a good look at the original stuff.  Rockers,  plan shapes, thickness distribution, contour, fins etc.  We’re also dialing the density and glassing to get the best feel. Mixing, matching, and redesigning.  We’ll have a party in mid February when the testing’s done and I have a few samples to display and put up for sale.

Fun process, that’s why I have so many models. SEE MORE

“Blackboard” prototype#1

Jazzin’

Mike Black sandwiched between the first prototype of his new model and the original deal at the Jazz The Glass premier.  2 more prototypes then we pull the trigger on the design. SEE MORE HERE.
