Heres a Peek Into Last Weeks Fun. Two more deviations from the norm headed for glass:





































7'0 "Hot Rod Egg" with Single to double concave that starts at one end and goes to the other. Slight Vee out the tail with a rolled front entry into a hard edge towards the back..

























































Last week's pig, a little further down the line. The twist on this is it has concave underneath the nose and this one is getting a fin box..













Fin!

Foils and Fin Boxes

Outlines, Shapes and Glass

Here' a quick peek into this weeks workload :

Outlines for a few that are going to our good friends at Shelter Surf Shop in Long Beach.

Tri Fin Swallows for MVP MAddie and Harry

Here's One for Marina Highschool Surf Team MVP Maddie:



















































Three fins and a little swallow with custom art. Just the way she wanted it!



















Harry's choice in shape as well. Keeping it simple on the cosmetics.



















Both shapes are updated versions of some of these 80's classics.. We make them to suit everyones favorite flavor!
