Tyler Going Straight

  Tres Langostas por Tres Amigos

  Empty Rights (fairly far from the highway)

   Ghost Harbor (Escalara Nautica)

 The Campo

Several days of glassy, warm, empty surf.  Great trip overall.

#52 and #53

These are two new shapes for my friends Tyler and Matt.  Tyler's board is a 7'4 with a hull outline.  We decided to experiment with George Greenough's edge design, so the center area of the the board is dead flat to promote fast planing.  The turned up rails in the nose and midsection of the board allow the board to still roll onto an edge, giving the board a bit of a hull feel.  I lowered the rocker in the tail by 1/2" on this one, but kept the nose rocker stock.  Blank is the 7'4 SP Blue. Should be a fun shape for clean waves this fall and winter.

Matt's board is a modern log.  9'8 x 23 x 3.  Not quite a 20" nose. I designed the board so that it would pivot from the tail and noseride well.  The rocker is kicked in the tail a bit and fairly flat though the nose.  There's a big single concave under the nose area for lift.  Blank is the 10'2 B Green with 1/2" Darkwood stringer +1/4" tail rocker at 24".  I think Matt is eager to get his son Oliver out in the waves.  He seems stoked!
