Body surfing Handplanes at Patagonia

Just delivered some some Wegener/Surcraft Cooperative handplanes to Patagonia in Cardiff.  Take note of new handplane bag also at the store.

Bluegill in Cardiff.

6'6'' Bluegill.  The perfect mix of alaia speed and slide and foam board wave catching ability.  This one is now at Patagonia in Cardiff.

Board Benefit.

The collaboration board between Nathan Gibbs and I has been oiled.  It really looks amazing.  This board is for the board art benefit for Surf Aid.  I shaped the alaia out of  California Sequoia wood, and Nathan did two incredible California themed paintings.  Please see link to learn more.
