Calling this early. Irene has arrived and my power is not looking good. Be safe! Joe Campbell and Bryce NIhill each win a set of True Ames fins of their choice. Take your pick of a set of fins up to $80. Thank you to all who donated. The Dude Hates Cancer bowling tournament was a huge success. Hopefully they reached their $80k goal.
This 5’8 Mini Simmons features hand made fins by John Cherry and a sanded gloss finish glassing by Brian Wynn. The guys at Cafe Volan in Asbury Park, NJ were nice enough to get me last minute rack space. It will be there until it’s picked up by it’s new owner so go check it out.
TWO WINNERS WILL BE GIVEN THEIR CHOICE OF ANY (1) TRUE AMES FIN SET WITH THE MAX VALUE OF $80 PER SET. WINNERS WILL BE ANNOUNCED ON SATURDAY, AUGUST, 27TH, 2011. I will be bowling in The Dude Hates Cancer bowling tournament on August 27, 2011 to help raise money for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society! Anything you can give would be greatly appreciated and you will be entered in the raffle. The LLS funds life-saving cancer research that has led to major advances in the treatment of blood cancers (and many other cancers), including treatments such as chemotherapy and stem cell transplants that have prolonged and enhanced the lives of patients. New targeted therapies that kill cancer cells without harming normal tissue have already begun to provide drugs and procedures that are improving quality of life. * RAFFLE DOES NOT INCLUDE SHIPPING. WINNER WILL BE ANNOUNCED VIA THE MALWITZ SURFBOARDS BLOG […]
The 8’3 mini was ordered with a textured plum color. I’ll be spraying one coat of each these hand mixed colors. Starting with the lighter then to darker giving the color a faux-like finish. Or at least that’s the plan.
One of my asymms settled in nicely at the Chandelier Surf Shack.
This is an 8’3 Mini Roundtail. Next up is to add some color.
This board was made for 583 Surf in Fire Island, NY. It’s an 8’6 mini with the old school feel of a big full belly that transitions to a rolled vee in the tail. It features the fine glass work of Under Toe Glassing and True Ames Parrish Cutaway and side bites. It can also work great as a single fin. It was made to cruise and is even more beautiful in person. It is currently for sale at 583 Surf.
The first True Ames order arrived. They are beautiful. The new hexcore design takes the weight of the fiberglass fins way down. The weight of plastic fins with the quality of fiberglass.
Custom made Mini-Simms Keels by the very talented John Cherry are on the way.
