Hi everyone, thanks for checking in. This is a new website dedicated to the 2010 calendar project. Here’s whats happening with the surfboards.

2010 R&D#1 - 7'7"x 20"x 3 1/4"
Pictured is my new C2 R&D board with a MODIFIED Pettibone style fin bump built in. Ron Pettibone’s”Bullet Fins have tested really good on the C2’s and other boards.

The shape of this particular fin bump that is built into the board templated off the C2 corvette hood detail ’cause -well- I love corvettes. Actually the shape makes sense to me with it’s abrupt leading edge rising out of the tail concave and we’ve learned that Pettibone’s theory really glues the tail of the board to the wave. I’m making another board the exact same shape right now without the bump to compare side by side.
