Alaia or Lord Board?

Ryan Birch, and I (with some clamping support from Mike Beckwith) put this together. It is a alaia with lots of float and a Lord Board (see Hydrodynamica) with more structure. First couple runs have been a success. It was a shot in the dark, but there is a ton of potential. This one is 4'6.''

The guys at Icons of Surf asked me to make a transitional ''v'' bottom board from the late 60's. Morning of the Earth time period. It has a narrow nose wide hips and a strong ''v'' bottom. The fin is narrow and flexy. If interested contact Icons and ask about the Chocolate Fish Models.

Quadradamus at work

Quadradamus work in all kinds of waves. This sequence was shot by Anthony Bevilacqua Anthonybphoto@gmail.com at burnout last year. Check out more of his work at birdmantribe.blogspot.com

Latest boards and fins

This is a 6'9'' Quadradamus. I pulled the nose in on this one a little more than usual.

This is a custom for Erik. 10'1.'' He wants a cruiser for summer waves that will be stable and nose ride.

Now at Mollusk, Venice

Chicken Coop

We are getting some chickens because we can. Newborn chicks will be arriving any day now via the US Mail. They need to incubate for a couple of weeks under heat lamps, which will give us time to finish this coop. Big thanks to Adam Caap for helping us put it together. Below Sydney is telling Adam to "measure twice, cut once."

Doors are never easy to hang, but with a few beers we got this one in fairly easily.

Syd's locking the door until we get the wire and the roofing material.

Bluegills now available at the Patagonia in Cardiff.
