Paipos

I've been getting really good waves on the paipos lately.    I find at high tide, paipos find the best waves close to the shore.  I must have been the only person in North County to come out of some tubes today.

In the works.

Here are some boards I am working on this week.  A 6'6'' Bluegill, 5'8'' and 5'10' fish,  6'0'' Twin fin,  These will have swallow tails cut in.  Th7'6'' round pin is going to Patagonia and is getting wood veneer on the deck.

Nathan Paul Gibbs at the boardroom last weekend working on our latest project.  Sequoia, paulownia 6'4'' alaia.

Max's 5'7''

Boomerang,starfish, or fins?

I found a old piece of plywood in a old woodworkers garage.  I am happy with the nice wood grain.  I will show again once finished.

My 7'1''

7'1'' wood rails and veneer bottom.  Eps foam, Glassed with Entropy clear super sap.  I caught a couple good ones this morning and it performed well.

Mike's New Long Board

Mike is not a full time longboarder, but he knows certain days a longboard is best due to the waves, crowd, or mood.  He wanted a maneuverable board that could really trim nicely and still nosride.  He also wanted it to have speed.  So, we pulled in the nose for speed and maneuverability.  The board is 9'6.''  This length makes a good paddler and collects speed for great trimming.  Their is a down rail in the tail, again for speed and maneuverability.  The rail is mild eggy in the middle for smooth trimming.  Narrow noses actually noseride well, especially if you are going fast and in the pocket.  On this board we have the option to ride as a single fin or as a two plus one.
