New board

My new 6'10" triple stringer 5fin bonzer shaped by longtime friend DJ Kane. I used to work with DK back in the day at moonlight. He currently ghost shapes for Jon Pyzel(notable teamrider..John John Florence). He also used to shape for Rich Pavel and channel islands.

Bring on El Nino!

Cool video KorduroyTV did on Peter aka my old boss. Such a good human being and surf legend  

Getting all Cosmic

Got a new surfboard a few weeks ago. A custom 6'8" 5-fin e-wing Campbell Brothers Bonzer shaped by Malcolm Campbell and glassed by Moonlight Glassing.

My old boss Peter St. Pierre did all of the amazing cosmic space air spray artwork on the bottom. Gary Stuber glassed it, Dave Kerr hotcoated..routed the fin box.and glassed the fins, Kenny Mann sanded it, Travis Harder performed quality control, Mark Donnellan glossed it, not sure who buffed and polished it. The fins were made by Jack Jenson.

A lot of work goes into making a surfboard. I think one of the best parts about getting this board was just having an excuse to go hangout with all my old coworkers and friends at Moonlight Glassing and Chris Christenson Surfboards factory next door.

2011 is the 40th year of the Bonzer design and concept.

This board is for winter and big/powerful waves. I've already ridden it a few times and it works INSANE! If you are curious to know about the bonzer and its design go to bonzer5.com

The Handplane Project

About 6yrs ago? My friend Ky snapped his longboard in half during a huge swell at Cardiff Reef.

Not too long ago my friend Lucas and I decided to make handplanes for bodysurfing. Lucas happened to have part of that longboard stored at his house.

We decided to strip the fiberglass off of it and use the leftover foam to make our handplanes.

A research and development bodysurf session near Hospitals reef in La Jolla.

Our different templates(shapes).

Last Sunday was another Research & Development session at windansea.

Here is my handplane..the shaping part is almost finished. Next we will start glassing them. Stay tuned..
