New Recycled Stubby for 2008 ...


A new stubby for 2008. It's 5'5" x 20" x 2 3/4". Many years ago, it was a Weber log. Then, it was cut down. Then, it came to me. There was enough reasonable foam to get this stubby out of it. It will have very pinched rails and be glass with Resin-X. This is the last old poly board I'll be recycling for awhile. It's going to be a single, glass-on. My next batch of foam will be built by hand, with EPS from a recycle/reuse source near Boston.

Surf Report: Waves were decent yesterday, in the 3-5' range. It got cleaner as the sun came up. Then it dropped off to nothing. After 12 days of nothing, we've had several fun days, with more to come later in the week.

Holiday 2007 Surf Report



December was a solid month for waves -- especially in the last week of 2007. The secret points of the North Shore had plenty to offer. I hope you all got some. The Friday before New Year was the best, with a super-clean dawn patrol (perfect tide, perfect wind, mild temps).
