The Shape Shack / 7-9 Asymetrical SUP

« on: February 12, 2021, 11:01:47 AM »

I made a 8-6 asymetrical sup for demo and got some positive feedbacks and it got sold right away it was for goofy footers and so I made a 7-9 x 29 asy for regular footers, that will be ready for demo next week. I really love my 9-3 asy and am a believer now, the cutbacks are insane! Here some pics of the 8-6 x 30

The Shape Shack / Asymetrical SUP

« on: October 28, 2020, 12:14:13 PM »

I have been wanting to try an asymetrical tail SUP for a long time and finally made one, a 9-3 x 32 swallow tail on the frontside rail, and a round pin on the backside rail. After finally getting some nice sessions on the north shore of Maui to give it the real test, I am really stoked on it! The off the tops frontside and the cutbacks are insane and the backhand bottom turn is super smooth. I really think this is a good idea and worth trying for anyone looking to open up your surfing.

Sessions / Surfing alone

« on: October 16, 2020, 02:12:03 PM »

Just came back from surfing Kanaha all by myself this morning for almost 2 hours. Where the heck was everybody I kept wondering, found out later there were waves on the south side, but heck, I'd rather surf north shore anyday. Waist to head high, glassy with light offshores, a little wait between sets but made paddling back out easy. Got picked off by the biggest sets cause they broke farther out than most. With the park closed till 7am. nobody else wanted to walk in. After 1 hour and 50 minutes I finally saw 2 people paddling out.

Sessions / Empty Kanaha

« on: March 03, 2016, 01:24:46 PM »

Surfed double overhead Kanaha today by myself (sort of, 3 guys on the left). Never surfed the rights with nobody out when it was this size with lite offshores, sure there were alot of closeouts, but there were some gems out there. Surfed for an hour till I couldn't get back out after my last ride, guess everybody is getting surfed out. What a year for surf we are having.

Gear Talk / Free Scrap Pad

« on: September 18, 2013, 06:25:24 PM »

I've got piles of scrap pad material if you are on Maui and want to stop by my shop at 375 West Kuiaha Road, Haiku Unit 18, and help yourself to some. I got mostly grey, but there are some other colors, if your looking to do a Mosaic.

The Shape Shack / Watergate part 2

« on: March 11, 2013, 03:10:04 PM »

Well, my friend busted out another fin box, so I repaired it and covered it up with another one of his favorite beverages. Notice how I taped off the repair, you then can sand the cloth back to the tape and not sand into the area around the repair.

The Shape Shack / Watergate of the week

« on: October 25, 2012, 01:52:56 PM »

A friend of mine ran me over a couple of weeks ago and broke his fin box when he hit me. So I had to replace the box and the foam around it with high density foam. I found a good cover-up for it by printing Coors lite can on rice paper and glassing over it. He loved it.
