the "apache twin"




this is my newest board for the week, this model is the "apache twin" its my rocket fish template,



 it has the speed and glide of a twin fish but is more performance oriented.



this model draws great lines and is the mac daddy at point breaks.



if long fast arcs are your thing and your a bit of a smooth operator then this is the board to get you operatin' correctly


this one is in double orange tint with black and white pinlines, has rasta's signature future fins
 they are a vector foiled fin. again to push the performance aspect,
she measures in at 5'11" x 20" x 2 1/2"

the "pilchard" quad

this is a board i've gotten ready for the fish fry, its the "pilchard"
its one of my stable models that i do regularly.



its a hybrid shortboard/fish, setup here as a quad FCS, 4/4oz deck and 4oz bottom with a protec finish


its a foam resin galaxy on the deck and bottom with an orange tint bottom and smoke tint insert on the deck. this was a revisited concept for the glassing that turned out awesome. everyone that has seen this board loves it and i have a sneaking suspicion it might not last til the fry'. i may have to shape another one.



 its light its fast and you can go anywhere on a wave on this style of board.



 this has been  really popular with those who want a fish but dont want to lose out on performance and want to go vertical.
the "pilchard" is my regular board and i find the kind of board i can ride most of the time.
if i could ride only one style of board this would be it.
it has a shortboard style rail, with a hard edge tail,
so its an easy change over from riding your shortboard
you can get straight onto a board like this and rip it up like your shorty.


the flyers in the rear really help this board to turn shorter and sharper
and gives a nice pivot point right on the rear foot.
this board can be ridden 4"- 6" shorter than your regular board and a little wider,
this one measures up @ 6'0" x 20" x 2 1/2"

pair of aces

a new duo of mals to enjoy the last of summer with





the one on the left you've seen below but the big rig on the right is my new 9'6 the "rough stone rolling" its another model ive been putting some time into lately, refining the design a bit. particularly because we've had such a lackluster season for swell so far. its been a good time to push my mal concepts a bit.
its available in sizes from 8'0 to 10" has a flat rocker with a little tail flip and is a pure noserider/cruiser. three stage rocker with a nose concave as opposed to the pronounced nose "spoon"
oh and you can have it any old you like it
 this one comes in the classic "wheres wally" color scheme
tail patch w/full gloss and polish.

you might see this baby down at the alley shortly, hopefully with ten little piggy's over the nose.

a new slider for a lovely lady



this is a new board that i shaped for kylie, for sliding into little peelers at the alley and just making the most of  summer



thats a fabric inlay on the deck with a baby blue pigment bottom.



this one measures in @ 8'2" x 20" x 2 3/4"  



big enough to cruise but small enough to still get her arm around it and for it to be fun and stable to ride


full gloss and polish on this one for a mirror shine



and a red fin to match it all up, kylie was stoked with this one.
