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.

Custom

I just finished shaping a 8'-5" Regulator for Tony Kendall. He was stoked on the way in turned out. We will post some photos of the finished board when it's ready.

A Regulator and RPTNoseRider in the hopper.

I'm Back in the Saddle

After a temporary setback (damn hip) I'm back and shaping all kinds of custom shapes.
Orders are picking up and I'm stoked. Drop me a line and let's talk. You know you want to order a new board!

Stacked

I came across this old photo from the 90's. The mid to late 90's was an exciting and productive time for us shapers. I was lucky enough to have a great bunch of guys riding for me and the Iron Cross/Murphy team. Good times! We were stacked: Bassy, Tom and Emmo were hard to beat. And they are still out there ripping it up on all kinds of different boards. Bassy is the man behind Sacred Craft and Emerson, with the Swami's Surfing Association, is still the man at Cardiff. Good memories for sure. dm
