Bluegill

This one is for me. 6'6'' wood bottom, wood cork wood rails, glassed with Entropy bio resin, and shaped out of a recycled blank. I tried cork in the rails this time. I want to see if their is any difference in flex. I have seen Paul Jensen and Danny Hess's wood boards using cork on the rails. They look really good. I don't think cork is much lighter, if any lighter than the wood I use, but I think it will be interesting to see how impact compression reacts from rail dings.

Corky, bellyboard

3' belly board for Jim. I pressed two layers of cork onto some paulownia and added a little kick in the nose. Then I glassed it with entropy bio resin. Jim likes some handles at power points so he can push and pull so he can bury the rails on turns. I added the cork so it would add some float. I hope to get some feedback tomorrow.

Handplanes

Made with sustainable wood and coated with plant based Entropy bio resin, these are very environmentally sound planes that work really well. Cyrus Sutten and I design and make the planes under the Surfcraft Cooperative logo. They also have a adjustable strap made by Micheal Disculpio up in Santa Cruz. Patagonia in Cardiff, Mollusk in Venice, and Wetsand in Ventura are carrying them, or contact me or Korduroy.tv to order a custom.

Ritu's fish

Here is the finished board from the airbrush post. 5'9'' 21'' 2 5/8'' Ritu usually rides short single fins. He wanted a board that could get more speed in smaller mushy surf. after seeing the airbrush post he purchased a matching jump suit. Note, matching Om sign and pinline.
