New design "The Blend" for Apryl

"The Blend" is another design that's been in the skunk works for over a year. It has the blend of the QWAD and the Dyna-Glyde. This will be another design in the new series. I have a few more variations of this design coming up very soon. Stay tuned...

Custom Squashed Skate for Henry

Remember when riding your tri-fin shortie used to be fun?
6'5" x 20" x 2.62"
Shape features a neutral bottom, flat to wide double concave through and off tail. Full nose and tail template. Fast, drivey neutral rockers; 4.62" nose, 1.75 tail. Modern blend of down rails in nose tip but foiled with a medium tail thickness. Fuller boxy rails, tapered deck. Have fun again riding a shortie tri. Barton and Damian will thank you. :-)

New design "Hull No" Twinzer for Nate

The New "Hull No" Twinzer will be one of the first in a new series of designs. This new series of shapes will incorporate traditional shapes, and neo traditional and all around cool and funky flavored shapes. I'll have some new labels for this new series coming in the near future. Something that's been in the skunk works for awhile, these shapes will not only be mine but hopefully it will entail some collaborations with other shapers also. Keepin it fresh and funky. :-)

This "Hull No" has some design features that makes a hull a fun ride with out all the things that make a hull unpredictable and sluggish in less ideal conditions. "Hull No" incorporates the 50/50 eggish outline and the flat entry and subtle S deck this is where the similarity ends with a traditional hull, Along with the double bumps, the bottom contours incorporates a slight roll upfront to double concave with in a single to double out back. Modern rails soft upfront with tucked edges and down rails off the tail. Twinzer set up for speed and release. This is not your daddy's hull, think hull supercharged!

Custom Dyna Glyde Longboard 4+1 for Steve

Update 11/10/11

Hi Wayne,

Just wanted to drop you a quick note of thanks for my new 9.0! It is truly magical. I’ve never really owned anything bigger than a 7.4. I’ve been given a few 9.0’s over the years, but they have been ones that my friends have found that they didn’t want, very generic.

The custom Dyna Glyde 4+1 that you created may be the most responsive board in my quiver. Whatever you have going on with the quad fin 6 channel setup is incredible! Another interesting fact is the board is probably 25% lighter than any 9.0 I’ve carried.

My first ride, well the board went one way and I went the other. The second ride I took off on a wave that was few feet overhead out at Porto. No board I have ever ridden would have made this bottom turn, but the Dyna Glyde did it with so much ease that it almost kicked me off. I then quickly found myself vertical off the lip with a 9.0!, which I’ve never done! I’m not sure how I brought it back, but all of a sudden I realized I was still standing and firing down the face of a wall of water with the biggest smile on my face. I even heard a few hollers from some that caught the show… if they only knew I was doing whatever I could just to hang on to the ride.

Well the next hour or so I enjoyed some of the best surfing I’ve done in a long time. Even backside was working for me, which never did. It’s wild to think that my surfing ability has increased overnight because of a board. I should add that I’m using a lot less effort to get into waves. This board just glides along.

Well, so much for the quick note and again I must THANK YOU for opening up my life to a new surfing experience.

I’ll be back!!
