Plotting

Team rider Monica DeLeon plotting a new short board shape with El Guapo. Should be interesting.
She also rips with grace on a long board too!

new Regulator

New 8'-6" Regulator for Tony Kendall of Del Mar.
Great board for big waves and waves with some consequence.

roundhouse. One of the better surfing sensations when you get it right.
The clear droplets of water, supreme focus and detail on the beads of wax - I like this shot a lot.

Surfboard Table

Check out this table Dennis' made for a vintage Spartan trailer owner! So sweet. The trailer owner recently won numerous awards at the latest trailer show in Vegas - with the judges specifically noting the table and it's craftsmanship.

a River Runs Through It

Dr. Steve Baker, DVM, called wanting some fins for his old 7'8" egg. We made it in 1996 for PBSS. It made it's way to Oahu where Steve bought it and has owned it since. He lives in Boise and surfs the south fork of the Payette River @ near flood stages. Here he is dropping into 7000 cubic feet per second of mountain perfection at the 36th St. wave, which only comes up every 3 or 4 years for a few weeks in the spring. I had no idea! Wow, that's determination! dm

In the Bay

I saw this balsa board in Dennis' shaping bay the other day. Looks like it's still a work in progress, but one day it will be a special slider.

Boom

Got this shot and note from Aaron Goulding, local photog.
"Here's a shot of JP smacking the lip. This is one dude that you don't want to get smacked by."

Thanks Aaron.
