I enjoy custom designing surfboards specifically tailored to the riders needs. I consult with each rider to find out what type of surfing style they have, what they're looking for in a new board, what kind of waves they plan on using the board for, and what they want the board to look like.
While I love making boards of all shapes and sizes, I especially love the 60s era longboard surfing style of cross-stepping, nose-riding and trimming.
Feel free to contact me and we can discuss what you're looking for in a new surfboard!
The beautiful community I am fortunate enough to call home.
This 9’-6” super fish was made with triple 1/4” redwood stringers and matching glassed-on twinzer redwood fins. A bit narrower with channels in the tail keep this board fast down the line, and the swallow tail makes for fun, looser turning for a longer board.
This board is a very traditional short-board shape, in a 7’-3” step-up size. Squash tail and standard thruster pattern fix boxes with an ocean-themed blue fade pain job. Great every day rider.
This was a hybrid 7’0” board that incorporated a wide, blunt (Simmons-style) tail and rounded nose, with in-line (straight) triple fins and deep channels in the tail. With no “tow” in the side fins, and shallow fins in the back of the board, this board is loose and squirrelly in the turns, and super fast down the line.
Double bat tail board with channels and glassed-on quad fins. Wider tail allows for getting into the wave earlier, and the glassed-on quad fins have no "tow", so they point straight and are set slightly forward. Very fast board that makes the sections and screams down the line. The flame graphics seemed fitting for this board.
This was made for a good friend of mine that is a serious VW collector. He wanted an era-specific longboard that matched the colors and year of his vintage 1960 VW bus. Wood tail block and matching D-fin make this board look very cool on top of his vintage VW bus.
This board was dubbed the “Mexican Blanket Super Fish”. It has the characteristics of a fish with a wide, deep swallow tail, but it’s 7’6” size makes it a great wave catcher. The glassed-on twin fins are set straight (no tow), combined with the deep channels in the tail make this an extremely fast riding board, yet casual enough for everyday use.
Classic 9'-8" single-fin noserider. Made for those small summer days. Slight "V" in the deck tail for water flow while noseriding. 24" wide x 3-5/8" thick make this a classic log.
This was a 9'7" classic noserider done in the spirit of old-school 60s longboards. It had a glassed-on D-fin, with matching aloha stripes. The big D-fin isn't for everyone, but for those that like trimming and nose-riding, this is a great old-school design.
This was a 9'7" noserider that was ordered with custom inlaid foam in the stringers. The matching tail block and glassed-on fin really made it stand out, and it was a super fun board to ride.
This was a fun board to make. I cut the blank and inlaid 2 outside redwood stringers that I used for the bonzer fins. Rounded pin tail with a little more rocker makes this a great hybrid performance rider.
This is a 5'2" shortboard with a double bat-tail for Tyler. The concave nose and tail channels will give this board great performance, as well as speed for making those sections.
This was an 8'6" egg-shape board made for Darius. We did the glassed-on fin to match the bamboo stripes, which gave this board a Tahitian style look. A little thicker in the nose and tail made this board a great wave-catcher, as well as a cool look.
This was made for my friend Mark - aka: "Gonzo". Straightforward pin-tail 9'-0" all around longboard that rides great in most all conditions.
This was an 8'-6" performance board I did with a rounded nose and tail. I kept it narrower (22.5") which was great for bigger waves, and the 4+1 fin set up gave it a lot of options.
This was a 10'-0" classic noserider. This board was ordered with a 2" balsa wood stringer, which gave it a ton of extra strength and really made it stand out. I loved making this board, as it embodied that nostalgic 60s era style, and rode like it too!
I shaped this to be an all-around funboard. The crescent tail has longer rails down the back, for better hold. The quad fin pattern allows for good side-to-side pivoting in combination with the crescent tail. It basically rides like a short board, with the volume of a funboard.
This 10' noserider for Corey was kept simple and clean. Very little rocker and a classic shape made this a great board for catching smaller waves on summer days. Corey wanted an old-school look with no colors or graphics, a simple wood tail block, and a single fin box. We went with a T-Band stringer to give it a little more strength,
This was a 9'6" nose-rider made for Marcus. This board has 50/50 rails, a tail block made from walnut and birch with a matching wood fin. Marcus is from the old-school, and wanted simple rastafarian stripes and a classic look. A little less nose-rocker and a little more tail-rocker made this a great all-around log/nose rider.
I put the 4+1 fin cluster forward on this 7’0” rounded nose and tail egg shaped board. It’s quick and responsive for its size and shape, and allows for fun and different fin placements.
This board mixes some old with some new. The fin was fashioned from the old 1960s “hatchet fin”, which is boxey, swept back, and cut-out. The tail is scooped to catch water, which allows for great nose riding. A fun board for those that seek something a little different.
A buddy of mine used to have a 1972 Chevy Corvair, that we would joke “looked the same going backwards as it did going forwards”. The name was perfect for this board. This was an experimental board made at the beginning of the Covid quarantine, that actually turned out to be really fun. It has the same dimensions and shape on the nose and tail, single fin box, and rails that blend from 50/50 up front to sharp in the tail. Rather than carve through turns, this board pivots and sweeps up wave faces. And at 24” wide and 3” thick, it catches anything you paddle for!
This 8’6” mini-log is as fun as it looks. The glassed on D-fin keeps it true to the old school, but the polka dot fabric inlays make it a modern day head turner.
Classic nose rider log. Triple bass wood stringers, with matching wood tail block and swept back glassed-on fin. Simple and clean. No frills. Everyone should have one of these in their quiver.
This is the traditional longboard - 9’6” length, 50/50 rails, squared tail, single fin box with very little rocker (~3” in the nose and 4” in the tail). But with a slightly narrower 22” width, it snaps turns much easier and rides more agile than a traditional 24”-wide log.
his 6’-0” fish board was made for a friend that wanted a fun all around daily rider. She was moving to Southern California and wanted a classic “fish”.
We can custom design a fin to match the type of board you want. Swept-back? D-Fin? Glassed-On? Get creative and design a board just for you.
