New SUP designs

Had a half hour talk with Clyde in China yesterday, and we are in the process of designing new SUP models for the upcoming winter season.  Clyde being the top builder of SUP's in the world has some great ideas on where the sport is going as well as some very good design ideas.  I'll keep you posted what's on tap for the future.

The Stoker's are coming

The Stoker's are coming in this week.  Bruce Fowler is producing the Stoker V Bottom for us with a 7'6" and 8'0" showing up this week.  UPDATE: Both boards sold right away....so more on the way.

From the shaping room to your body

Together with shaper Dennis Ryder and a local manufacturer, Donna of Betty Belts found a highly innovative way to capture and repurpose excess resin left over from the surfboard-building process. They turned it it into very wearable, very durable jewelry instead of letting it end up in a landfill. It's not easy, but it is SO worth it! The story: Each color stripe is from a surfboard made here in California. The boards are out there, riding waves, and each piece is connected to that. How cool is that?

• Upcycled, made from waste byproduct
• Highly durable
• No two alike, truly authentic
• Mostly hand made in Ventura, California
• Always made with dignity
• Free stoke included

In December I asked Gary if he had any ideas on what to get my wife for Christmas.  He told me about Betty Belts and away I went.  It was so easy to choose because the jewelry was so close to home for me.  Always worried about getting my wife any kind of gift like this was heavy on my mind.  What a surprise, she said it was her favorite gift.  She is always telling me how many compliments she gets wearing the set I got her, even to the point she is thinking of selling it in her Pilates Studio. 

We now carry the a full line of up cycled resin and sea glass jewelry from Betty belts.  Come on by and take a look, your sure to find some great pieces to your liking.

Custom SUP

Rich's custom 10'2" Passport is glassed and ready for delivery to us.  I'm sure you will see him soon shredding the surf.

Orbicular Flyer SUP

The redesigned Orbicular Flyer SUP has been shaped, and headed for glassing.  It should be here in a few weeks.  If you want to try it, call me at the shop.

Clyde Beatty Jr. Kingfish

We are happy to announce the arrival of Clyde Beatty Jr.'s "Kingfish" model.  Clyde has been producing these boards since the 1970's and now has updated the model with exciting new features.  The number one new addition is the trailing fins.  The trailer fins now allow you to take on much bigger surf with the knowledge that the tail will not slide out when making your bottom turn.

We currently have a 9'0" x 23" x 3" and a 9'2" x 23" x 3" in PU foam at $595.00.  This price includes the fish fins and 2 sets of trailer fins.  Come on in and see these exciting boards.  We also have a 9'6" EPX2 epoxy board showing up soon.
