The Crafty One











This here fine looking custom 3 stringer machine was handshaped by Mike Slingerland in Encinitas. The groovy nose and tail blocks were made by Slingerland’s next door neighbor John Peugh. This board is only 8′ instead of the traditional 9′. The shorter length combo’d with the multi-fin box setup makes this board versatile and nimble. Surfy Surfy approved!

    That’s just beautiful. Nice work guys. The level of craftsmanship at each stage of development is so high, I’m surprised the boards don’t cost way more.
