Surfy Surfy deemed newsworthy!

Potpourri of Components



"This board and all of its components represent everything I've learned from all the shapers and designers who have taken the time to guide me through the complexities of outline, rocker, spiral vee concave, quad fin placement, fin toe-in and cant, fin templating, wings, hull entry, foil, tapered stringers, and rail profiles."
5'1" x 20" x 2.5"

Speed Droid

Here is a custom surfboard shaped by Russ Hoyte for Stephen Jordan. The snazzy airbrush is by Peter St Pierre.
Elliot did a different finish on the deck. The color inlay is polished and the rest of the board is wetsanded. Tricky tricky!
It's a 5 fin! 6'4" x 20 1/2" x 3"
Russ getting crazy with the bottom and elevated wing. Glassed by Gary Stuber. Sanded by Kenny Mann.
For those of you who want them there is a secret stash of Surfy Surfy laminates.
Happy Happy!
