Pete Tresselt | Paddle Board

My Grandpa's friend (my friend also) Pete Tresselt is restoring an old paddle board. Raddest.

My grandpa is an incredible metal/wood/anything worker, and custom made the brass drain plug for Pete's board!

This is the next thing I want to build and hang on my wall.

Art Show | Sandpoint

My Grandma participated in an art show in her hometown of Sandpoint, Idaho.

She got contributions from everyone in the family as a part of her display.

I sent her a hollow wooden sandia fish, something a bit different for a mountain/lake town.

Cherry Inlay Kookumber

We recently did a 5'8 Kookumber with a Cherry wood inlay deck patch, and matching cherry fin.

Our friend, Arnaud, helped us out with the inlay part.

Currently on display here at the shop.

Mike is a super good guy and an inspiration of mine.

Surfing Newport in the 1960's

Bill, pictured below, just picked up a hollow redwood fish from the shop to hang on his wall, next to his balsa longboard.

He sent me this photo yesterday.

Thanks Bill.

Grain Surfboards

Got to catch up with Mike LaVecchia from Grain Surfboards this weekend at the Sacred Craft.

Super great guy, and one of my earliest inspirations in surfboard building.

I have a tremendous amount of respect for the work Mike and the crew do.

Here's a photo of Scotty Stopnik doing a layback on a Grain fish during his visit to Maine last year.
