This is Curt and my 4th hollow longboard. It is a 9'8'' with sequoia and paulownia lumber. This is one of the nicest looking surfboards I have ever seen and am very proud of it. Upon first review, I did not see any crystallization with the sequoia, always a worry. The Bing Jacobs factory glassed it. The fin came out insane, again no crystallization. Stoked. You need to see in person how cool the grain looks. It kind of looks 3 dimensional. I really want to keep and ride it, but I can't afford it. I am riding Number 1 paulownia hollow presently. Wood longboards rid really good. Soo much momentum and forgiveness.

Early Spring Malibu

Cory and I heard about the sand bar at Malibu in March. We were excited to do a Bluegill test. Here is a couple of waves on some 6' boards. With the close up camera work it is hard to see how fast and distance covered. I have yet to surf Malibu on a 8'er but it must be insane.

Jacob Stuth alaia perfection

Geoff Fanning sent these pictures of a epic day in Australia. Jacob is strobbing in 1'' of water. Luckily he has no fins. Tom made this alaia and I am not sure of the size, but it looks like a Peanut design.

Friday's Highlights

Surf Sister came by to pick up a 7'6'' Bluegill. Having never used an alaia, most Bluegillers have, Mary will have to learn the slides and turns and adjust to warp speed through sections on the Blugill. Not a problem, the extra float should be an advantage. Check out her blog and follow her progress. http://surfandthefury.blogspot.com/



Mike Beckwith and Gabe Whorely also came by to work on some new boards. Mike is a early fan of alaias and helped me develop the Bluegills. After some time and a few Pacifico's we came up with this one. Gabe and I have been working on the Gabezilla model for a couple of years now. It is a noserider, Gabe is known for noseriding and hanging 11, his belly. This design is great because it feels faster than most noseriders, and fits into the pocket good, or even a little behind the curl.

Here is a recent segment from www.Korduroy.tv. Cyrus Sutton and the Korduroy.tv gang are working really hard to bring fresh, innovative and organic ideas to the public. It is great to have an outlet for material that may not be immediately accepted by the mainstream, but will probably one day have an influence on it. This clip portrays what I am currently working on, and I am really happy with it. I'd like to thank Cyrus, James Campbell, who filmed the segment, and the rest of Korduroy.tv for what they are doing.
