Surfing lowers on a San Clemente Surfboard

This was another beautiful day at the end of sepetmber with my friend Mike shooting. ÊThis surfboard is a 6'4 round pin by 19 and 2.3/8 thick. This is a surfboard that works great in the power pocket of the wave. ÊThe swell was running about 3 to 5 and great shape. ÊIve since shaped two new surfboards and I'm currently selling this surfboard and a couple of others to keep the surfboards growing forward into the simple improvment for myself for you the customer. ÊThanks for checking out my blog and website check in for the latest. ÊCome check all of the new and used surfboard.

Shaping Surfboards and Surfing in San Clemente

This was in september of 08 with my good friend Mike at lowers. ÊThis board is the third generation off one of my favorite boards I have Êsurfed for over 8 years. ÊThis is a 6'6 by 19.25 by 2.50 thick. ÊI grew up riding longboards and everything in between. ÊThis board was a bit thick for my weight but it had plenty of drive and speed through the the slow sections. ÊIn this photo I'm doing a speed check turn to set up for a drawn out bottom turn into the next section. ÊSpeed and timing is the key to solid turns. ÊAll of the surfboards used in the photo's are available and I'm in constant research and development with new boards on the way. ÊSo stop by San Clemente Surfboards & Art Êgallery and check out the boards. ÊI specialize in custom shaped Surfboards of all shapes and size's. ÊStay tuned for more photo's to come. Ê

Surfing Lowers on San Clemente Surfboards

This is on a board Ive been riding for over eight years and I like to break it out when I'm in the developing stage for new boards. ÊThis particular board is a 6'5 by 19.25 by 2.3/8 thick. ÊThis board is very simple and very smooth with a flat bottom with slight vee off the tail. ÊIt is 13.75 into a square tail. ÊThis was a very good day and the waves were great for three days straight. ÊStay tuned more photos to follow. ÊIve shaped two new boards since with different bottom contours and dimensions. ÊRemember only focus on what you want in life.

Surfing Lowers on San Clemente Surfboards

Surfing Lowers on San Clemente SurfboardsThis is a research and development day at trestles on my new San Clemente Surfboard. ÊI met up with my good friend mike aka chewy at 7ish at my store. This day I was feeling like riding a round pin so I picked out a 6'5 three fin by either 19.25 wide or maybe 19 and at least 2.3/8 thick. ÊWe drove down El Camino Real to basilone to check it out and it was Id say 4 to 6ft swell happening at the infamous trestles skate park. The crowd was not to bad when the swell is pretty consistent. ÊForgive me for the short blog but this is my first photo of many many different shots from surfing to surfboards to shaping to art. ÊSo stay tuned for the next blog and remember what we think and feel becomes real. ÊÊ

October swell 2008

Don't know how many of you people surfed last week but it was as good in south orange county. ÊFor three days straight we had some amazing days that I know I wont forget. ÊI know one thing for sure when the waves are up surfers are energized to new levels. ÊThe crowds were much less due to the amazing surf from the beach breaks to the point breaks. ÊJust wanted to remind everyone the surfing is a way of life so enjoy the ride and respect the beach and each other.
New boards in production for the winter swells. ÊWhat we think and feel becomes real so with that being said only focus on what you want and don't take life to serious.
