9'4'' SOS-PHD

This ones a is a copy of my best longboard ever, its got a sweet spot about foot and a half back from the nose , when you hit that spot you better get ready, it will just take off without you, Very true to Nat Youngs 66 Gordon/Woods world contest board, Sam, but just tweeked here and there where Brian and I thought we could improve it, PROPS to Yater, Liddle and Paul Gross for the refining of this design over the years .

Cornwall Calling- Hulls from the wrong side of the tracks

The Canaries totally remind me of southern Baja- just as Portugal reminds me of north Baja.


And Cornwall reminds me of here, during the spring.
But that doesn't keep this from being a fine, swoopy carving turn.

My bud Alex lives in Devon, Cornwall; he got bit by the Humm Bug around a year and a half ago.
These guys evade the stormy winter blues with trips to the Canaries- apparently worthwhile, as the photos show. But back at home and back in the wetties, it looks like the Humm is still there. Hey, Alex- what fin did you put in you Geebee after the first one snapped? Geebee in the gloom, MP in the glory.

7'0'' Vee Bee , Cry Baby

Brian and I have been workin on this for awhile , its Baby surfboard inspired , a board Greenough shaped in 1965 out of balsa , nose kick added by Mctavish later , ridin by guys that surfed with George, Nat, Bob M. Russel Hughes and many others . Its fun to bring shapes like this back and add tweeks here and there to see if we can come up with something FUN!!

Jaws Boards part 3

Brian and I did this as a new project, its an 8'1'' PHD Jaws influenced board , added  a bit more rocker to fit in less than ideal conditions, but the straighter template gives it that nice drive out of turns. Think , dropin , bank it over , pull up, take a step up on the sweet spot and let it go thru the gears. 

Jaws Boards part 2

Steve K and Brian checkin the OG to the new ones. Talked to Steve yesterday , its been a bit of a bummer , him moving , I miss my amigo, and neighbor .

Jaws Boards

Part 1 Jaws stuff, Brian and I got a request for a few copys of  Estaban Bojorquez's Liddle Jaws board, I had the OG one and Steve was still living here, since he relocated to Santa Fe , New Mexico, and Brian, Matt Miller and myself got together and BJ went to work, SK checked them and after they were glassed Steve painted them his last nite in SoCal. Those were a couple of the first Putnam/ Hilbers boards.

Tecate Time

New 8'5'' Liddle and sat, BQ for the TSJ crew.

Took this to Sacred Craft show. Sat. nite Matt Miller and his gal Andy BQed for the Vaqueros crew and Pezman and Hulet from TSJ good fun was had.

GeeBees and the Fudge Pipeline

Some of you caught this picture of my fin last January after I rode the bucking bronco at La Conchita. My buddy Alex over in Devon just sent me this pic, apparently from the same wild ride. Do GeeBees have a nose for the brown?

Eye Candy 2

Brians been busy shaping all week, I went over to downshift from workin all week and check on whats goin to Sacred Craft next weekend, a few Tecates later we pulled some out of the bags. The surf pic is Tyler goin thru the Gears on the OG , Gee Bee. On the lawn a Fineline Zombie, Liddle L- spoon, a PHD SOS, Fineline Ant and a P-38. I think will have a few demos at the show.

Eye Candy for Sacred Craft

6'8'' Parabolic Wildthing Twistoflex and 6'1'' Vee Bee stringerless . 

Liddle Jaws Board from Greg

A bit straighter in the tail, thinner rail, step forward burn a turn and hold on . You get 2 or 3 turns on this and you will be in 4th gear.
