"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!

Mega Shortbus

Introducing the Mega Shortbus 6'2"x22"x3".

This shape was commissioned by Sean at Trunkplayer Surf Shop in Cherry Grove, SC. He is focused on carrying boards that work well for the average guy or gal in our local waves. It wasn't in the shop too long before Kelly Anne came in and snagged it. 

 

And now a brief description of this shape:
 
This Mega Shortbus blends modern surfing with the speed and glide of a retro fish. This board was designed to catch a lot of waves, supplying endless amounts of fun and copious quantities of stoke. It's designed to not only race down the line but also turn in the pocket. The beveled rail, wide outline and flat deck allow for a lot of volume which promotes speed and glide while the bottom contours allow for sensitivity and responsiveness rail-to-rail.

This chunky split tail shred sled is hands-down the most fun Fishy/Mini Simmons type board you will ever surf. This design is a perfect blend of front foot speed and back footed shredding. It loves clean lines, but can make even the summer slop fun. Full rail turns, soul arches, cutbacks, speed floaters and cheater fives are a few of the things that can be enjoyed on this wave hog. It has a wide range and will shred on anything from ankle high to head high hurricane waves.

When everyone else says it's a longboard day you can still catch as many waves as the loggers without the hassle of hauling your log out.

This board could be the answer for surfers who want the volume of a longer board, but still want the shredability and freedom of a shortboard. 

Stay stoked!
