What Goes Around...

Another awesome post from A. Smith of Born To Lose. Just wanted to pass along a fabulous post about a good friend of mine, Michael Miller, and his passion for the surf craft! I've known Michael since he first moved here and have been fortunate to see him grow to where he is at today. I'm even more fortunate that he glasses a few boards of mine from time to time. Few others work is on par with Michael's.

My Local Line Up Interview part 3

This interview was shot in September of 2007. Just so everyone knows a lot has been evolving since. The interview lasted over an hour and covered a lot of ground like in part 1. But, the particular basis for parts 2 and 3 of the series is who and what are my influences for building the classic style noseriders. And those are Joel and Donald primarily. These styles of boards represent just a part of the quiver of boards I can offer to my clients. As of late, the main board I've been building has been the Quad Fin Fish Simmons in all lengths, 5'-12'. So, just wanted to set the tone that this particular focus is on the board in the background.

Thanks to the crew at My Local Lineup for the awesome support of the small local shaper. Keep up the good work!

Japan Fish Frye May 2008

Many were in attendance, many boards displayed, maybe some waves were ridden, however, only a few of my boards made it to the show. Wavesforever Japan shop owner Angu made it happen by getting some boards down to the beach for us. Too bad I wasn't able to attend the event. I missed out on having this conversation with Rich..... would of liked to have had the opporunity to talk fish with him!

Unbiased board review of a Mini Fish Simmons Quad

My friends wife had arranged a secret birthday shaping mission for him to have me help build a board for his son. Well, upon arriving to the Hole in the Hall, it changed in to HIS birthday board.
