Taco Fish Returns to NYC.

I spent the winter welcoming my beautiful daughter to the world while living vicariously through this board. I have been building surfboards for pure enjoyment and the taco fish has seriously paid off. Its winter travels took it from Mainland Mexico, to Hawaii, and, as seen here, to Bali. I’m honored to have one of my shapes taken on some serious wave searching. “I’m still adjusting to this side of the world.  Thanks for making such a rad board.” -Andrew  Keep a lookout for Andrew and the reopening of Rockaway Taco in a few weeks.

SYOB004 Shaping.

I spent the morning with Steve shaping his 8’3” Mini Log. We pulled a 7am Dawn Patrol. It’s alot of foam to take on as a 1st time. Today we cut the outline, adjusted rocker and foil, and added bottom concaves. Next week, we’ll finish up the top shape and rails. It’s coming along nicely.

I have Shape Your Own Board #4 lined up for this weekend. We’ll be shaping this 8’3 mini log. There’s going to be some serious foam mowing going on.

I held a shaping class yesterday with Mark. We copied a 6’6” semi-gun that he brought in with him. He’s not quite finished but here are some in progress shots. It’s coming along very nice.
