Beamer’s board made it to California today. His picts have me smiling pretty hard. Hope it treats you well. Check out his flickr photo set here. 

This board was picked up yesterday and taken straight to the beach. I miss it already:

“Just wanted to say thanks again- headed out to long beach after I saw you. The carrot is fast and loose….. So much fun! This summer is gonna be rad…..”

This 7’10” Egg is ready for Rockaway.

$55 - Unglued EPS Shortboard Blanks w/ Stringer wood. Local pickup in BK. Come and get em’!!!

This 8’3” single fin mini is headed to Beamer in San Jose, CA. It’s a clear sanded finish with a little custom resin color work. Penny couldn’t resist a test ride. We are both sad to see it go. Beamer tells me he’s breaking in the board on a two week camping trip along the West Coast. I can’t think of a better way to get this board wired.

Hey L.A.! Go see Ugo’s show and you may just happen to see some of shaping talents.

From inhabitat.com:

Dogs may be our best friends, but did you know they can also aid us in cleaning up the devastating Gulf of Mexico oil spill? Matter of Trust, a San Franscisco non-profit devoted to “mimick[ing] how Mother Nature integrates enduring cycles and provides access to necessities in abundance” is asking petowners and groomers to gather up their tufts of Fido’s fur that would normally be picked off of clothing and throw away to send them in to be made into oil-busting mats.

This one has some resin color mixed up to match the logo. Hotcoat and sanding to go. Then it’s off to California.

I spent the winter welcoming my beautiful daughter to the world while living vicariously through this board. I have been building surfboards for pure enjoyment and the taco fish has seriously paid off. Its winter travels took it from Mainland Mexico, to Hawaii, and, as seen here, to Bali. I’m honored to have one of my shapes taken on some serious wave searching.

Keep a lookout for Andrew and the reopening of Rockaway Taco in a few weeks.

We finished the shape this morning. It’s a nice full 8’3” mini that’s bound for plenty of sliding.

I spent the morning with Steve shaping his 8’3” Mini Log. We pulled a 7am Dawn Patrol. It’s alot of foam to take on as a 1st time. Today we cut the outline, adjusted rocker and foil, and added bottom concaves. Next week, we’ll finish up the top shape and rails. It’s coming along nicely.
