Trending Surfboards 2012
I just read a book on the history of the surfboard and the one thing that stood out to me is that no matter what era it was, the shapers/designers/surfers were always looking to push the limits when it came to construction technology, weight, and performance of the boards they were riding. In the progression...
Cool Artwork
Got some cool artwork done on this little 5’10″ CoreVac Five Fin Elliptical tail. Lots of positive feedback on both the board and the art. I think we are going to do more in the future…. November 2011
Josh Burke Shaping Room 2011
It was cool to have Josh Burke up here from Barbados and spend some time in my shaping room. We went over the new 4’8″ that he ordered and he also got to meet the Future Fin rep. Josh is 14 years old, he rips, and has unlimited potential. He’s up here to do a...
Six Channel Pocket Rocket
There’s something about a six channel bottom design that is timeless. They have never been immensely popular but I have never known anyone who hasn’t liked the way they ride when they surf them in the conditions they were made for. Truth is, people love them and not only do they love the way they...
Summer 2011

I have four new models that are great for typical summertime conditions. one model, the Transformer II is already on my site but the other three, the Annihilator, the Assault, and the Frog,...
CoreVac Boards
The CoreVac technology is a process by which you vacuum bag the lamination over an EPS(styrofoam) core. It is very light and very durable and I have been taking advantage of this technology since the fall of 2009 with a great deal of success. I own two of them myself and I am stoked on...
Design Trends 2011
There is a general tendency to refer to the narrower, thinner boards that many have been riding over the past number of years as performance boards while referring to all the rest of the designs as alternative boards. The truth is the shorter, wider and thicker boards, which have been the trend for the past...
" Even though I have shaped tens of thousands of boards, I am still a student when it comes to the equipment that we should be riding. I've always said surfing is all about having fun, no matter what your level of ability is. The truth is, while not everyone necessarily rips, everyone is capable of having fun. I'm learning, by firsthand experience, that sometimes you just need to be practical and realistic about your ability and what you are riding. Don't let the conditions of the surf or poor judgement in the equipment you choose to ride, dictate your session. Know your options and change up the board you are riding if you need to and I promise, if you do that, you will re-energize your surfing and rekindle the stoke you may have thought you lost..."
