Haut 5 Fin


The fin companies are really backing the 5 fins!
Actually, from what I've been told these little Haut 5 fins work really well.
Full projection power turns. I just may have to order one.

Hess Fish











This is one of three boards we finished for Danny Hess of Hess Surfboards
Danny is just an unreal craftsmen. These boards are incredible.
It's really neat to work on such a wide variety of stuff.
Keeps things very interesting.

More Colors








These floors need to be broken. The longer we wait, the cooler the resin colors look. The longer we wait, the harder it is to break!

colors




Photos from a few months back before the floors were broken and cleaned.

I'll take photos of the floors now, and the colors are much different. Funny how the colors differ from month to month.

Hullapoloza




Lots of Andreini hulls going through the shop right now.
Most of these colorful gems are headed overseas to Mollusk Tokyo.
Pictured are some of them that just had their boxes set. After the boxes fully harden, they will be ground down and a cap(two layers of fiberglass) will laminated over them. Then when the board is done, the polisher will carefully route and bevel the channel in which the fin goes.
