Kookumber Project #2

Kookumber Project Update.

- The Hollow Redwood Kookumber is in the glassing process. Greg Martz laminated it late last week.

- I passed off the chambered balsa blank to Griffin yesterday so he could finish shaping it. (Not before ensuring that the tail was at least 2 shakas wide)

My brother stumbled upon a little profile of Cyrus in the latest issue of ESPN Magazine.

Throwback for your Mac

Remember when downloading pre-made desktop backgrounds was a big deal?

Worm is working on custom skins for your WinAmp next.

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.

Return of the Smart Brothers

We're working out a date to have the Smart Brothers come back again this summer... stay tuned... get stoked.

Ahoy!

Forgot to post about these when they came in... we have a variety of Ahoy board bags in stock!

They make really good board bags, and really bad ghost costumes.

Balsa Kookumber

I'm embarking on a new project. I want to build a kookumber in as many different surfboard constructions as I can. My Dad and I will be working together on this project, and probably Griffin at times as well. But since the kookumber is our most unique looking board (and one of my personal favorites), I want to explore and see how many different ways we can construct one.

We've already done plenty of them with regular foam and fiberglass. We just did a hollow redwood one. Now we're working on a chambered balsa one. Next maybe a recycled Marko EPS blank with entropy resin? Or a composite sandwich board? Only time will tell.

Here's the fully chambered balsa blank for new 5'4.
