9'1"- All The Goodies

This one is 9'1"x 23" x 3 1/2" with all the things that make custom long boards beautiful. Triple cedar stringers, redwood and balsa nose and tail blocks, and clean lines. Color panels and glass updates coming soon. Jake

Glassing Room Inspiration

This picture is hanging in the glassing room, Leslie put it there long ago. Every time I see it I think about how good we have it these days. This guys is charging, no wetsuit, no leash, way out to sea, and he had to climb down a cliff with his board in order to paddle out. This was when you could count the number of surfers around here on one hand, pretty gnarly. The water is still cold, the waves still fickle and the big gray fish are still lurking, but at least we have warm wetsuits, leashes and light weight surfboards designed for our waves. Jake

Fatty Color Factory

 

We have some serious color in the shop right now thanks to a few from Surfboards by J.B. which are in various stages of glassing. The top two boards are airbrushed by J.B.

This pink nine footer is a full resin tint with pigment done in the lam, it's so bright even with all those other colorful boards in the glassing room, whenever I walked in there my eye was immediately drawn to it. No one will be able to claim that they didn't see J.B. coming. Jake

Redwood Handplane for Matt

My friend Matt had a birthday recently and his girlfriend got him a hand plane, made by me. It was really cool to pick a piece of salvaged redwood out of my colection and make something special for such a good friend. Matt, this hand plane and our friend Sam are all in Peru right now surfing lefts that go for miles. Make sure to stretch before you go out boys. Jake

Foam

I was stoked to receive a big box full of blanks from Marko yesterday. I can't wait to tear into them, there is even a blank in the box for me. Jake
