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

Here’s all six

‘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, 50’s style.  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:

A special build for Greg because he took good care of us when we were in Japan in 2010.  The boards are wayyy overdue but they will be over the top.  http://gregsurfcompany.jp/

These 2 pigs with the 1 1/2 chambered Redwood stringers are tow foam being glassed with flatweave volan and isophalic resin.  They’ll have a good strength to weight ratio and very dent resistant.  One will be clear and the other gets an abstract.

and 3 custom speedhulls

These 6 out the door

Grey for Jonas, Purple for Robert

and this batch of assorted flexibles on deck

The Calendar Boards that I made a few years ago were a labor of love. There were 21 in all and basically the project was my swan song to abstracts.  I spent a lot of time on them, building them, showing them, and auctioning them off.

This photo that Yuki Iso sent me from Japan gives me a warm feeling.

Here’s two articles, one is in SLIDE MAGAZINE in English, the other in ON THE BOARD MAGAZINE / JAPAN.  Articles by Ryan Smith.  If anybody has an “ON THE BOARD” link please send it.

3 New ones

and my used 9′ Pintail

This was my pintail/raked fin testpig and it worked  really good.   Lots of friends rode it and it was unanimous.  I’ll use those Yen make another flexpig variation.  Dream something up, shape it, ride it, sell it, then start again.
