Diversity

I love shaping and the interaction with and variety of people, places and waves that i build for.

On Thursday i shaped a 9'8" Vulcan for Steve in Fife, a 6'1" high energy short board heading to Peru with Jackson of Finisterre and 5'4" Lumus for Chris up the road in Newlyn East.

Shelter from the storm

initial report:

"Loving the new board. The bladey rails give the board a nice trim and make it really responsive - feels smaller than a 9'8", and you can turn it around much quicker, or take a higher line than your average egg-railed log. I really like the compromise it creates between a traditional board, and something you can still push off the tail, yet retaining the all important nose-riding characteristics. Been riding it with the flex fin, which produces some nice carving arcs and projected bottom turns with the pintail. It's a slightly different trip on the nose from what I'm used to, but there's a sweet spot where you can feel a sort of stall and lift which extends tip-time."

Nick's ride: Vulcan 9'8" x 23 x 3 1/8

For Nick I have reworked the Vulcan. pulled in the nose, straightened the middle and made it a little more hippie in the tail.
