12′ Jim Philips surfboard. Didn’t fit in the rubout room very well but I got it done somehow. Epic stringer work! The guy who picked it up said it’s a rider and not a wallhanger, so shoulderhoppers beware!
I am the owner – I asked Jim to replicate a Malibu Chip, complete with period fin. I custom ordered the stringer layout and, knowing Jim’s woodworking skills, asked for figure eight stringers. He truly is “the Genius”, I couldn’t be more stoked….and thanks to the Moonlight crew for all the resin.
Jim is THE MAN. that is some gorgeous, quality craftsmen work. no one else does this stuff. no one comes close. Ask Jim, and ye shall receive.. and it’ll be even better than you thought.

Hey JP have you finished that 9′ CC swallow tail glider thing from a few blog posts back and ridden it yet?

Those figure eight stringers must have been a real pain in the arse to get right. And boy did he get them right! Wow. Looks great!
