Dave Allee // 9'7 Nathan Adams Model

Exploring Blackies last weekend on my new 9'7 Naters model. Haven't been doing much logging for a while (blame the cash-yew) but it feels good to get back on something fresh and new and distinctly familiar.

Quadkumber for Thibaut

Thibaut picked up a 5'6 Quadkumber while he was visiting from France.

The Difference and Hour Makes

4 days on the road, but we were fortunate enough to get some nice little waves at Fort Point on Sunday. It was dead flat and pouring rain when we checked it in the morning, barely breaking when we decided to paddle out, and it was head-high and sunny by the time we were surfed out.

Fortunately it flipped on about 10 minutes after we paddled out.

Very fun, very cold trip.

San Diego to San Francisco

Heading out on a road trip from S.D. to S.F. this morning with Schuyler McFerran and Hagan Kelley. Doing some filming for Surf Life. Going to surf up the California coast for 4 days. Hoping to run into some friends along the way.

Should be an adventure... see you Tuesday!

Nathan Adams Model // Dave Allee

Griffin is currently shaping me a 9'8 Nathan Adams model... I haven't really had a longboard since early July, since I somehow keep managing to sell my personal logs. (Can't wait to knee paddle again.)

9'7 Pinwheel // Noseride-Friendly

Added a little more width to the nose on this one... to ensure extended noserides on small, high-tide mornings like this one.

Diagonal Deck Patch and Navy Stripe.

P.S. Stop by the shop today from 4:30 to 6:30 and wish Gully a Happy Birthday!

Laura Lumberjack

Laura and Kenzo came down from Malibu the other day to pick up Laura's new 9'2 Lumberjack.

For safety reasons (and style points) three of us carried it to her car.

There is still some debate as to whether or not it was safer or more stylish...
