Sneaky Preview

 This ones gonna be a sick single fin. More style than you know what to do with. This is a preview pic of the bottom. It looks different bc it hasn't been fill/hot coated yet.

Custom for Super Rob!

This is a great all around shortboard replacement. This is a more realistic daily driver for the waves in our area. Rob wanted something that will paddle well enough to compete with the loggers and still crank some turns. This is a variation of my small egg with a little straiter outline. It has a little more curve than the pictures show. Sorry no nice backdrop bc its storming like crazy outside.

Fun with color




couple of 5'8 quads. This is my favorite shape. They go good in just about everything until its well overhead. Ride about 4 inches shorter than your short board. Don't get trapped in a box!

Had to go to seattle so I stopped by fiberglass supply. I love when my truck looks like this.

6'6 E wing Bonzer Egg







So last time I was in SD I stopped into moonlight glassing. Great people and some of the nicest boards you will see. Anyway JP said I should try this crazy 6'8 E wing bonzer shaped by Malcom Cambell. The Cambell brothers invented the bonzer back in the 70's, So I tried it in all kinds of surf it did it all. I fell in love with this board. Well I hate wings but had never seen these elevated ones before. They actually make the board ride about 4 inched shorter. So I shaped myself a 6'6 when I got home. I love this board. It will crank turns or trim, your choice.

6'1 EGG!









I love these boards. They have carved out a small niche for me. They are very fast and will surprise you with there hold. They are not some of the fat tailed quad monstrosities I have seen out there. I got some great color separation on the resin swirls. Its in Longbeach surf shop If you have to have it! I ride a 5'8 on most days so ride one 4 inches smaller than your shortboard or ride it a little bigger and get some cruizzzyy style.

Lots of sanding




This was my first go at a Bonzer. I used a 70's single fin template. Then gave it some modern touches. The amount of sanding on these boards is incredible. I think that is why you don't see more of them. I had a epic day at flow on this board. couple of feet overhaed and pumping lefts. the board did not disappoint. It held on even the latest drop.
