Two more woodies

This 8'2'' is a strong paddler and trims like 15' long surfboard, but it will still the alaia slides. I find narrowing the nose helps keep it from catching rails and pearling. Below is a paipo, tombstone, bellyboard. It is 3'8''.

Redy to go




The top board is a sporty 6'0'' Bluegill with redwood strips. Not edible 6'2''Peanut. The 8' Bluegill has blue foam and going to Tugger. The almost orthodox board is 10'6'' and also made of blue foam.

Bluegill'n in Mexico

Matt Calvani and I found that Bluegill like the waters off the Mexican coastline. This one is 7'0'' and works both frontside and backside in various conditions.

My computer is back, and I am stoked. Also we worked on the comment section. It should be usable now, so make a comment.

more boards

6'6'' epoxy stringerless, Thi is a custom headed to the third coast, fresh water. It is hard to see but by the rails I put a tough. I figure, once fibreglassed, this may stiffen op the flex a little. Below is a 8' Bluey.

6'10'' Quadrodamus. With a light sand finish, it feels like a high performance shortboard with way better paddling

Experts on Bluegills and ewarnerphoto.com

Kassie Meador has been an alaia advocate for some time now and surfs them really good, like all the other boards she rides. I asked her to try a bluegill. She stopped by with Eric Warner, who took these nice photos. Check out Eric's website ewarnerphoto.com. Kassie currently has the board in Europe. It will be interesting to hear what she thinks and what the Euros think.

Some new fins



These are paulownia fins with beads tinted to match the boards. The lower fin is for a Gabezilla and the barn door is for a remake of a old Rick.
