Fin Man shapes Surfboards too

Jack Jensen aka The Fin Man not only has been making the best fins in the surfboard industry for 30+ years (check out these foam/fiberglass combo glass-ons!) he can also handle a planer. This is his new personal board with super flashy airbrush.

This is your new Bonzer Light Vehicle friend,

6'2" x 19 1/8" x 2 3/8"
Shaped by Malcolm Campbell. Airbrush by Peter St Pierre. Clean glass-job by Moonlight. Polished gloss deck and rails, wetsand gloss bottom for quality and speed.
Modern day refinements incorporated into the 1977 breakthrough design, read about the Bonzer Light Vehicle at Bonzer5.com.

The Copeman Caddy Lives

When twin grease monkeys Rex and Royce Copeman started working at Moonlight Glassing back in 2005 they always carpooled in their 1962 Cadillac. Bottom photo shows it's looking good these days.

New Surf Film: Sight/Sound

SIGHT|SOUND from High Seas Films on Vimeo.

I like Mikey DeTemple, he is a good person. His last flick Picaresque was quality. This one features Surfy Bros Chris Del Moro and Ryan Burch. Sight/Sound looks like a good one, although it could use more star wipes.

Quote of the Day

Andrew, "Why does this $1000.00 carbon fiber surfboard have a set of $10.00 plastic fins in it?"

This is pretty much the best surfboard ever made,

6'4" x 18 3/4" x 2 3/8"
4/4 s-cloth. Airbrushed blue. Polished gloss. Bamboo side fins.
Shaped by Malcolm Campbell.
Yowza!

Two Eight O's

Two cleanly foiled 8'0"s for Surfy Surfy Surf Shop. Handshaped by old school guru Mike Slingerland in Encinitas. Coke bottle green and blue resin tints.

Center box with side bites (2+1) setup.

Left- 8'0" x 22 1/2" wide x 3" thickness

Right- 8'0" x 21" wide x 2 3/4" thickness

Lot's of curve for steep waves and the pointy noses scare off potential shoulder hoppers.

1980's Sunset Tri Fin

This one came into the shop via the underground surfy bro network of surf bros with rad old boards in their garages.
What: Sunset Surfboards tri-fin.
Who: Shaper and founder of Sunset, Ed Wright.
When: Early 1980's.
Where: Made at Moonlight Glassing, which originally existed inside Sunset Surfboards on the coast highway in Encinitas, before moving out to the industrial park in San Marcos in 1979.

Stray Observations:
*An interesting blend of logos from the classic 70's Sunset to Ed's very 80s shaper logo, to the super classic TRI FIN logo (to clarify the confusion of early 80's multi-fin madness).

*The red, white and blue wishbone hotcoat color work is 1970's influenced.

*The glass-on side fins are cool. The center box is a Freestyle box which is common on these early 80s boards. The mini-boomerang fin was actually popular for a short time back then.

*Duct tape seems to have fallen out of favor as a go-to ding repair solution in the last decade or so.

*This board was well used which is a good sign that the owner loved it. It has some major dings but all are repairable.

*It's light!

*There are design elements in this board which are enjoying a resurgence lately. 1980s shortboards were pretty darn good mushbusters.

*This board was made 30 years ago by the same crew that makes all the new boards featured on Surfy Surfy.
