In-between Searching for waves. 

Some days spent searching for waves. The water is plowing the shore with white water, Others have the sight of tranquilly, that push the sweet song and dance of dreams filled with glassy peelers. A good rest by the shore is time well spent absorbing natures beauty.

 Good morning sunrises, tide changes with swell coming in..perfect for sucking in some salt spray and laying a rail on its side.  Testing new surfboard shapes., continuing to evolve, sharing the stoke.
 Sometimes sitting with a warm drink in hand lifetimes waiting for something anything. A little wind a little slop still making it out.
 You have to take the sweet with the sour.

 Receiving break time, turing into play time with the kids, jumping off the dock. Summer time spoils with bright sun soft seas, great for swimming, arm strength improvement  for winter months. Teaching the kids the importance of water safety.

Prepare the kids for some winter time days and playing in the surf, you can enjoy some great rides in the winter time exploring the ins and outs.

A day looking for that slide, others had slides of their own. This logging truck had a spill off onto the side of the road, no one injured. caused some traffic back up until the rig could be pulled out and towed off.
 

The fine finish of a polyurethane board is by far the best foam to hand shape with. The constant foam quality and shaping experience, provide great feed back to the hands. This is a double 24" channel. single or finless. There always a call to put some lines in positions not conventional ran with. A new rider experience will be had by all, friendly riding characteristics kept in mind for some fast sliding.  

Long board cornering log, 9' 8" named the mudslide. Some epoxy resin tinting, a brown and yellow hook splash style, solid brown bottom. Single fin.

 Epoxy resin polished up 1200 grit. Surfboards just cleaned off with fresh water. Epoxy has some nice outcomes this day and age with a great shine, smooth and clear. Some good hand sanding styles and  the right sanders do accompany you. I personal agree with baby sitting your epoxy boards while they are curing depending on your hardeners curing time etc, Different baby sitting techniques required.
 proper housing of your board during glassing, There is a lot to be said for the small things that could be overlooked if your new to the building or not experienced
. If you would like help or information send an email and let see what we can get figured out.

 Most work to obtain a great outcome requires repetitively doing the process. Clean smooth lines, nice paint edges smooth glossy finishes, creamy translucent, or solid resin tints with great transitions or  lines all require experience knowledge. Let the surfboards speak for them selfs.
