Down railed double-ender with Vee out the tail.

Cracked leash plug and rusted in dolphin fin.

Heavy enough for me to duck dive.

Magic.

Summer Time Blues

Way outside. 

ice cream love

8'6 bio-foam soy blank shaped thin and glassed heavy with 16oz volan glass with a touch of strawberry, vanilla, and coco.  Medium single concave to flat out the tail with a low continuous rocker and thin tucked rails.  This board duck dives, nose rides, and drives with amazing flex.  The weight of the board gives it a smooth and powerful momentum.

4'6

My smallest stand up surfboard is this 4'6 Catch Surf Super One designed by Tom Morey. It goes great in soft surf but the board is too flat for hollow pitching waves.  Paddles in slow motion...
