Latest Recycled Stubb ...

Lots of effort required to get usable foam out of this one. It once was 2/3 of a classic log (try to guess what kind). Now it's a 5.5', wide, square, very flat, single. The lam is RR epoxy, the hot & gloss coats are Resin-X. The art is india ink & acryclic, in multiple layers. This is my first Resin-X board, so far really good (Matt, of Resin-X, has been very generous with his advice). Soon to be polished ...

Ghost Board

Look steadily, for at least thirty seconds, at the X mark near the nose of the surfboard, and then at a sheet of paper, a wall or a ceiling. A ghostly board will appear before your eyes. By increasing the distance, the apparition will increase in size. More ...

Mex Wax, the best for your stick ...

Valentine's Day 2008 Surf Report

Surf Report: The north shore was windy, mostly clean and waist/chest early this AM. The tide was dropping, but, gusty NNW making the takeoff hard on a shorter board. There may have been some bigger sets. It was good from 6:30 until 8:45 or so, then it got too bumpy. If you haven't been out today, pick your spots with care ...

Mexico Surf Trip

I cannot recommend a winter surf trip to one of the best logging waves in North America. If you go there, don't bring your 9'6". Be ready for heavy crowds and bad attitudes. There are no paved roads. You can't drink the water. The rental cars are a rip-off. The tamales and pozole will surely cause Moctezuma's Revenge. Maybe on the one small day, someone will take some pictures of you and burn a CD for you on the beach. Maybe it will be flat the whole time. Stay away from the Pacific coast of Mexico. Unless it's Ixtapa. Then you should go there and surf that hot wave near the fish pier.
