Congrats Adam!

Big congrats to our dear friend Adam Goodman, for a huge Rose Bowl victory today.  (And a great 8 yard catch.)

Quite possibly the best surfing Division 1 football player in the nation... and one of the finest people you'll ever meet.

Jeremy did a rad custom paint job in the nose concave of this 9'2 Lumberjack for cory.

Never realized how much nose concave resembles an almond.

Afternoon Delight

T. AL and Gully sent me an email this afternoon. The subject of the email was "Dave Missed Out..." It was a bunch of pictures of them surfing this afternoon. Needless to say I was squirming in my chair with frustration that I had missed a beautiful afternoon of surfing. At least they had the common courtesy of rubbing it my face...

Thanks dudes.

Taylor, getting all Archy Delorme on us...

Progress Report

We've got a bunch of boards in the works right now.

Here are a few peaks...

The first Almond "alaia" beginning to take form

New kookumber waiting to be polished.

Blackies

We got a little wind swell that had blackies pretty fun this weekend.  It wasn't much, but it was far better than it's been.  

It was nice to just paddle out and shake off some of the rust.

Here's a photo jdub snapped of our Central California amigo, Mikey.

Grass is Greener T's

So stoked on the first Grass is Greener T-shirt and hat.... take a look.

Merry Christmas

White Christmas

Here are a few pictures of a fresh new longboard, fresh from pureglass.  It's slightly more progressive than most the boards we've done thus far.  It's got a more natural rocker and narrower tail, for one of our more progressive enthusiasts.  But it sure looks nice.

Be sure to check out the beautiful craftsmanship, by our little amigo Gully, on that epic fin!

This girl is new to the Brushfire label, making an appearance on their Christmas album.  Her voice is insanely good.  Take a look... Merry Christmas

Black Market Bazaar - 12/20

It's right next to Alta Coffee on 31st street, and we're going to be there from 10 am to 4 pm, so come down and visit us.

Krochet Kids will be there too.

Cordless

Here is a portrait that Lightgnar took of my with the first "cordless" Almond board.  No power tools at all in the shaping of this 9'4 log. 

Pure Glass

Big thanks to Jim, and the rest of the guys at Pure Glass for all their great work.
