Another board bites the dust.  Congrats and thanks to Nick,  2 in a row!

The next board opens on May 6th

I spent several hours last weekend talking with Marc Andreni at Sacred Craft and at the Jazz showing.  As a board builder Marc has it all, he’s been a building hulls, pigs, classic guns, etc, for years and is one of our sports great craftsmen.  He’s friendly, thoughtful, and extremely humble.  I’m a big fan of Marc Andreni and his shapes.

I stole this photo so I’d better link the source: Seahuggers

SETH AT FOOF ON HIS 9′8″  FOIL3Photos:  JP Garcia

This is a great match – Chris and a 9′2 Flexpig I can’t wait to get some footage,  Chris rides these  like butter.

I flat out stole this photo from my friend Don Bigelow’s  FB because his son CJ (great guy)  captured the famous “Pupo Polish”  in the photograph.  Great meeting you yesterday CJ, thanks!

Here’s my neighbor Tom with Steve Pezman at the Sacred Craft “Antiques Road Show” yesterday. Tom brought a very very  cheap Hollywood Beach garage find with him. A balsa Yater pig from the late 50’s

This is about as rare as it gets.

It’s the “Renny Show” at the Ventura Fairgrounds this weekend and everyone turned out to honor the master in grand fashion.

Hat’s off to Renny.

Here comes the April auction.

April is the only month that the auction board doesn’t correspond with the Calendar shot.  The board in Jayd’s Rocker Stick shot(April) was sold before we took the pic.  The board that’s up this month is the 3rd of 4 from the Logoless series featured with Tiff last month.

Jayd's April board is shreading waves somewhere in Japan right now

Here's the auction board this month - GC2078 APRIL 8 - APRIL 18 - C2 LOGOLESS SQUARETAIL - 8’0”X 22”X 3 3/8” – JIM PHILLIPS STRINGER GLUE UP - LOGOLESS SERIES(3of4) - “SUPER VOLAN” TINT - BIG BALSA T-BAND

We wore out Tiffany's March shot last month so here's some outtakes.

These will be at Sacred Craft Ventura and at the “JAZZ THE GLASS” showing on 4/10 also in Ventura.

The BLACKBOARD’s shape is based on boards right out of the mid to late 50’s, pig ground zero.

The FOIL III is the 1967 version, foiled and finned late 60’s style.  I used to call these “Australian Foils” (because it was loosely based on by “SAM” and others like it ) until I found that Bing had a model of the same name in the 60’s.  This prompted the name change.

I know the BLACKBOARD’s pure 50’s  shape isn’t for everybody and I thought  bringing this model back might be a good idea to give customers an option.
