Freckles the Alaia Kiteboard

 Alex's brother, Dave has been kiteboarding a 6'2'' Peanut in Hawaii and says it is working really good.  The alaia has unmatched speed and can go over reefs.  He uses no straps or fins of any kind.  So Alex, here, now has a 5'9'' nose kick version.

Alex's board came from this piece of wood.  I re-sawed it into the boards on the right side.  The other boards are for paipos, handplanes and alaias.

Handplane Bodysurfing

Michael Disculpio sent me these pictures, via go pro, from the chilli waters of northern California. He is using one of the Surfcraft Coop. planes I make. Michael makes the adjustable straps used on the planes. These shots show how the board planes; and lifts the body up out of the water.

Bluegill Action

Skateboard power slides,
Switchfoot adventures,
Looking good,
and Parallel stance speed squats can all be done on a very average day of surf when riding a Bluegill. This board is a 7'9'' version. I would like to thank Ryo Matsuyama for taking and sending these pictures. He and his brother Kei were here recently and we had this fun day of surf.

6'6" single or two plus one

This one is for Ryan, Of Third Coast Surf Shop, in Michigan. He surfs the lakes and travels a fair bit. The board is not too big or too small for most conditions or wave height.

This short movie was done by Kyle Chambers. Mick Rodgers is doing the nose riding and I am riding one of my new paipos. This paipo is 3'10'' by 17.5'' my latest ones are a little longer and wider
