The featured board is one I completed a couple weeks back for Garrett. If you pay much attention to the post you'll see his name for photo credit at the end of nearly every one. This particular egg was a bit of a twist on the standard dimensions with a thumb tail design. Garrett's board is 7'4 x 21 1/2 x 2 3/4, it has a mellow triple concave that fades into V off of the tail. Accompany that with its ultra foiled profile and a set of hand foiled fins the end result is one dialed egg.

Often time customers will head into the shop with a specific board in mind. Others will explain what they would like the board to do. When broaching the subject of longboards time and time again I find myself explaining differences in tails and their benefits. Of late I have been suggesting customers who are unsure of what they want find a middle ground and go with a diamond tail. The above featured board is exactly that. At 9'8 x 23 1/2 x 3 1/8 this board has all of the makings of a focused nose ridder. Unlike most it's square tailed counter parts this board embraces the best of both the pin tails and square tails.

Every now and again I get the urge to keep one of the boards I am working on for myself, this is a perfect example. Above is my all around nose rider at 9'8 x 23 x 18 7/8 x 16 1/2 x 3 its what I have found to get me the best results and rely on as the work horse of sumer. This board was made for a local guy who knows some of the best looking boards are the simple clean ones. His nose rider was glassed with a classic weight volan, a knee patch and a single pin line. It featured a lower volume 50/50 rail, which was complemented with a sleek foil and just the right amount of nose rocker.

This summer has been a blast, I have been growing relationships with quality people left and right. The above featured board was made for someone of the utmost quality. The round pin nose rider is the perfect board for the surfer looking to log some tip time without sacrificing mobility. The bottom is set up with a long single concave through the nose that transitions into rolled belly then panel V. The 2+1 is another feature that allows this board to be ridden in various wave conditions without being tethered to the abilities of a single fin. Don't get me wrong one fin is plenty for me, its just not everyones cup of tea. This one is going to reside in San Diego so if you see it around make sure you check it out.

This summer has been unlike any I have experienced in the past. I traveled a majority of the month of August only to return long enough to work non-stop until my next get away. I'll be making my last and final trip of the summer to the Shell Beach area. I will be in town for the first half of this week and will have plenty of demo material for anyone to check out. I am also looking forward to meeting with a hand full of good people along the way. Needless to say this is my return to blogging and will resume regular posts. Please feel free to contact me if you are interested in checking out any of my boards or just to shoot the breeze.
