Custom OG Dyna-Glyde for Apryl
Apryl, I am scanning your board today and and should finish up by Thursday then off to Keoni for your custom artwork. Wayne
Custom OG Bryd-Fish for Jeff
Jeff thanks for the update!
Hope you are well today! I’m so stoked from surfing the Brydfish lately I had to let you know about it.
I’ve found what I’ve been seeking for years. The 6’6 Brydfish is my personal surfing Holy Grail. This is the hands down RUNAWAY winner for the best south bay board ever.
I’ve NEVER had a board so user intuitive and versatile. Board is equally adept at check turns as well as wider sweeping turns. Stomping the tail stops the board dead then weighting forward immediately sends it flying forward again. Lately I’ve been making head dips and cover ups almost every time I surf it. I’ve had other boards that get me in the pocket but I have a hard time accelerating fast enough get out of there. Never an issue with this one. Seriously man, this board handles everything I’ve thrown at it. Mush to barrels.
I’ve come far enough. Don’t need to try anything else for normal surf. This is it.
This morning was clean with head high quick breaking sets. Had a few late sideways drops, bottom turn immediately at 5th gear around the section, stop the board DEAD, lean forward out of a quick barrel, bottom turn and blast the lip! Holy crap was that me? I don’t care how it looked… but I know how it felt. Amazing!
Don’t forget about this board. Your customers need to know about this one.

Another Custom WN-WT for Darren
I have been working with Darren on his WN-WT for the last few years on this shape. We have been doing subtle tweaks 1/8" here a 1/16" there on his favorite shape. If my memory is correct this is his 4th or possibly 5th WN-WT.

Darren's custom strapless kiteboard "Why Fly"
Darren has been into strapless kiteboarding and this is his first custom kiteboard and my first to shape one also. For the most part the guys have been riding standard hpsb but with the standard glassing they aren't upto the rigors. I have made some design and glassing changes for the forces and the torque the shape has to endure.
Going strapless is relatively new sport, it's pretty impresssive. If you haven't seen strapless kiteboarding check out; thedredgezone.com
