These boards are fun.  What's hard to see in a still is the speed I'm traveling at and how much distance already covered.

Sequoia Slab Table

Here are some  before and after pictures of chunks of wood I worked on over Thanksgiving.  We need a table for the back yard that can seat a couple of friends.  It will be 9' by 40''.

Some recent boards

 5'5''  Mini Simmons artistically not taped off.

 10'0'' 4''thick 24''wide Gabezilla

5'8'' Fish

Paipoing a High Tide Corner.

Another fun session with an assist to the paipo.  This corner only works on a high tide small groundswell.  Everyone else is waiting at the coffee shop for the tide to drop. 

Laminating a Woody

9'8'' sequoia, paulownia hollow longboard.  

9'2'' Round Pin

This one is for Jason.  Slight concave in nose, a light double concave out the tail.

Modern Kookbox

I've been riding this 9'8.''  Surfboard, paddleboard.  Flies across the face of waves like an alaia, but can catch anything.

It has Bluegill fins.  This holds trim in the whitewash, but does not effect your speed.

Seaside Reef Demo

Come to Seaside Reef tomorrow, Saturday, for the Green Beach Fair.  Demo alaias, Paipos, Handplanes, and Surfboards. 

Fins

Paipos

I've been getting really good waves on the paipos lately.    I find at high tide, paipos find the best waves close to the shore.  I must have been the only person in North County to come out of some tubes today.

In the works.

Here are some boards I am working on this week.  A 6'6'' Bluegill, 5'8'' and 5'10' fish,  6'0'' Twin fin,  These will have swallow tails cut in.  Th7'6'' round pin is going to Patagonia and is getting wood veneer on the deck.

Nathan Paul Gibbs at the boardroom last weekend working on our latest project.  Sequoia, paulownia 6'4'' alaia.

Max's 5'7''

Boomerang,starfish, or fins?

I found a old piece of plywood in a old woodworkers garage.  I am happy with the nice wood grain.  I will show again once finished.

My 7'1''

7'1'' wood rails and veneer bottom.  Eps foam, Glassed with Entropy clear super sap.  I caught a couple good ones this morning and it performed well.

Mike's New Long Board

Mike is not a full time longboarder, but he knows certain days a longboard is best due to the waves, crowd, or mood.  He wanted a maneuverable board that could really trim nicely and still nosride.  He also wanted it to have speed.  So, we pulled in the nose for speed and maneuverability.  The board is 9'6.''  This length makes a good paddler and collects speed for great trimming.  Their is a down rail in the tail, again for speed and maneuverability.  The rail is mild eggy in the middle for smooth trimming.  Narrow noses actually noseride well, especially if you are going fast and in the pocket.  On this board we have the option to ride as a single fin or as a two plus one.

Paipo, Next Art Colaboration

This 4'4'' Paipo is the next board Nathan Gibbs and I are doing for the next art Board benefit.  Sequoia stripes.  Spooned out deck in the nose and concave tail.
