Thanks Everyone for Joining Us Celebrating Rosa's Bday

I made this for her. A 8'2'' mini-long single fin. I used a polyester blank and glassed it with the bio-epoxy resin. This is the first poly/epoxy board I've done. It is a transition board from the 8'10'' she has been riding. She caught waves easily still had good trim, and was doing roller coasters and other position turns. Looks like a success.

Some veggies picked from the garden to be eaten tonight.

Yellow Bluegill 6'2''



One of my favorite characteristics of the Bluegill design is it's speed. No roller coasters, pumps, jumping up and down needed. They go fast automatically. It is up to you what you want to do with the speed. This board is 6'2'' made with recycled polyester foam and glassed with regular polyester resin.

Summer, surfing, barbecue, and camping

Summer is here, and the waves have been good for at least a week. I am wearing a spring suit, which is already better than last summer. After a evening session, we decided to barbecue and camp in the back yard. Hot dogs cooking on Mesquite coals.









You know what time it is.





The tents are up in the backyard. This will be Syd's first night under the stars.

7'4'' Epoxy Bluegill

This board is made with the Entpropy bio resin. It is clear and will remain clear. It is 35 percent organic compared to the 75 percent organic of the amber tinted resin. So if you have to have a clear board you can still support the organic movement. The blank is recycled foam.

6'6'' Stuth retired from duty

I brought a new alaia to Patagonia, Cardiff for demos. It is 6'8'' and wider by a inch then the board in the photo. The board pictured was there for over two years. It is time for a change and this one needs a tune up. I will take pictures along the way to show how I do it. A lot of people have tried out the board over time and it is still very sturdy, and once re -oiled wii look new.

7'10'' Bio Mini Log

This one is for Tim. The board is shaped witha recycled foam blank and glassed glassed with 75% organic epoxy resin. The deck is a 1/8th inch wood veneer. The board weighs the same as a polyester board with the same dimensions. This board is really strong. With the wood deck and wood rails, like I put on the bluegills, this board will have a nice positive flex that will create speed and momentum that only wood can provide. Tim will also have the bonus knowing he is using the most environmental conscious products in the surf industry.
