A few weeks ago I posted a some shots of Pete's newly shaped displacement hull. Like all the boards you see on this blog, each and everyone is hand shaped, features my hand foiled fins and is personally glassed by myself. Pete's new stubby is no different, here are a few more shots post gloss and polish.  

Now that the rain is gone and sun is out, its time to shift our focus towards the warm days of summer. In an attempt to glean as much enjoyment from summer swell, surfers are transitioning from their boards of winter to full volume and flatter rockers. This particular summertime slider is a favorite of mine and is something that will enhance your quiver year round.      

Over the years of building complete surfboards you pick up numerous bits of knowledge that most people wouldn't consider to be a part of the building process, i.e. laminates. When differentiating between surfboards few shapers have been able to separate themselves purely based on their one of a kind creations. If not separated by concept one aspect is left to separate your board ascetically from the rest, the logo. Since all aspects of the building process interests me why not include laminates. Here are a some shots of freshly screened laminates. Many are printed but few make the grade.
