Always refining and looking to design the "kitchen sink" model.

Sweet looking shape Skip. Looking forward to pushing the board you made me in some Cali surf. Got a feel for it in PR but the swell dropped pretty quick. Let me know how the testing goes....

Please keep me up on how your board is performing. This new one "I think" will allow for more stability and being able to go SHORT....... I am thinking 7'2" for me.....this is 7'10" which overall it is more like an 9'0" being I whacked  off 6" off the nose and tail of a 9'0". Also be sure to show Jesus at surf hut the board.

Stay in touch and tear it up.

Is that the nose?

I've done some double tip noses but kept with some curves.
Other than occasionally getting sprayed in the face when punching thru waves on a sup, they work great.

That particular board is for Ryan Helm.....he wants me to work on a finless sup which is my plan in late 2014 after I market the mind bender.....which is very similar to what you see here.

The board looks awesome!  I bet it goes like heck...I have ridden a Tomo like design shortboard, and they are so much fun its ridiculous.  This board ought to go like a bat out of hell... Down the line and turn on a dime..How wide is it?

After seeing your board and you surf firsthand, I am hooked on your designs.  I cant wait to get one under my feet.

Keep it up man, you rock!

That looks like a really nice shape.  I don't have the skills to take it really short, but I like the mass in the rear half of the board, the tail and stepped rails.  More pics and contact information?
