"Pleasant Plunder" - Custom for Ian

Presenting the "Pleasent Plunder"   6'4"x21"2 5/8"


This board was a custom for Ian, brother to pro surfer Nate Dorman. It has a nice wide outline and plenty of volume for easy paddling. The pulled in rounded diamond tail means you can still get this board on rail, despite its floaty, full bodied appearance. With a flatter rocker and higher volume it should generate plenty of speed and glide. The single fin box and quad setup allows for a variety of fin setups depending on your mood. 

Shaped by hand from a stringerless eps blank.
 
 
Quality control guy.

 
 
This was the board we modeled it after.

 
As i was "researching" one day I ran  across this new shape by Hayden Shapes, looks like they might have been twins separated at birth, but one was raised by hippies and the other by... James Bond? 

 
This very well could be that ever elusive "one board quiver".

Stay stoked!

"London Fog" A Modern Longboard - Custom for Doug

"London Fog" a Modern Eps Epoxy Longboard 9'x23"x2 3/4"
 
Doug's previous longboard was a beautiful hand shaped poly Perfection and so we took that general idea and came up with this beauty in EPS Epoxy. The nice wide outline allows for stability for fancy footwork and being eps it's much lighter and buoyant and feels very lively and snappy. 

Doug is a world traveler and one of his favorite pit stops is London so we did a fabric inlay of the map of London, along with some beautiful resin tint work by Jamie Tuttle of dynamic glass.
 
 

 
 
Hot coat!

 
Family photo, old board and new side by side for comparison.

Stay stoked!

Performancy Fish - Custom for Morgan

Introducing the performancy fish 6'2"x21"x2.75


This was a custom inspired by a Michael Dolsey shape for long time local shredder Morgan Hickman. Added a little more girth but kept the general outline pretty close.








This was a fun one, most performancy shape I've done so far and first poly blank I've worked with other than the reshapes I did when I first started out.

Stay stoked!
