YEWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!! FIRST DAY OF SUMMER!!!!!!!!!!!


When the thought of summer comes to mind, it brings two feelings: An over whelming sence of stoke for the warm waters, fun waves, beautiful girls in bikinis, and most of all surfing till 9:00pm! ...at least 8:45 anyway.

That feeling tends to take the majority of my perception. But on the opposite end of the spectrum, the brutal truth of summer is that there are just too many people and not enough consideration or respect, in the water and on the streets. When i find myself sitting in the line up with 7,238,489 of my best friends who all happen to live somewhere else than here, its VERY easy to say; "id so rather be surfing in my 4/3 with hood and booties in crappy storm surf than struggle another minute with all these clowns! AARRRRR!" Even with 69 degree water and blue skies, its still a circus!

Why am I ranting about this?...I dont know. But i do know that when i reflect upon this contrast of seasons combined with flooding of tourists, weekend warriors and summertime sally's, it really makes me feel so stoked and blessed to have those other 300 days of the year with crappy blown out, rainy, dirty, stormy days when NO ONE is out! HA! I LOVE IT! It makes the frustrations of summer that much more tolerable... and it helps to have a big board.

Here comes trouble...

Well if you cant beat em, join em! SUP's are in full swing! We've been making great Custom EPS boards, we've got awesome paddles and all the accesories you may need. Including advise on how not to be "that guy" who gives a terrible name to the rest of us SUP'ers who show respect and dont develop a "big board= my wave" complex. Every one knows thats not how you make friends!

I even got caught up in the fun factor of this! Its pretty cool I must say. I always said I would NEVER ride one a those! But look at me now, hooked! Dont knock till you rock it! ...and dont be a tool if you do try it, show some respect and space to all who are around you.

Mr popular...

The small handful of customs that I've made of this new model have come back with more than a stoked response, from big guys who like the extra foam, to skinny 145# keel fin avo's shredders.

Its been such a great reaction that i figured i should probly make a few stock ones for the shop...Come by and fondle one or both of these moontailed spoon sliders...

Here we have a Beautiful "Sanga" replica. Complete with authentic "80's" Quicksilver lam, "Piping Hot" lam and prehistoric "Nirvana surf-rat wallride" lam to really bring the ultimate retro feel back. The custom airbrush goes without saying as well.

This board was made in 2008, the original was made in the early 80's for Mark Sainsbury. Those of you who have seen the "mad wax" surf flick back in the day will surely recognise this unmistakable board. It was soon after dubbed "first floater". Why...I dont know.

Classic 80's board, flat rocker, full foam deck, narrow rails, mild channels and a slight turn down nose or "beak".

5'7" x 19" x 2 3/8"

5'8" Apex hydro P/U epoxy/polyester hybrid

5'8" x 20" x 2 11/16"
Custom Apex model

So whats different about this board you ask?... first off, we started off with a stringerless P/U foam blank, laminated it with Epoxy using HYDROFLEX 3D Laminating technology, and then Hot coated with polyester resin...The results speak for themselves.

What you end up with is a strong, light and durable board, topped off with a responsive flex pattern that is quite amazing to ride! Slingshot bottom turns and intuitive power hacks that only an F1 driver could admire! My definition for this is equation is a combination of co-axial flex, (allowing the board to not be limited by a stringer running up the center) and strength to weight ratio, which allow you to focus and almost aim the energy being transferred through the tension of the board when pushed through a turn. All this combined is how the radial tuned flex gives the surfer a level of confidence, almost a stronger sence of feedback from the board...

As a bonus, because of the hybrid construction, the boards are repairable with epoxy OR polyester resins!... they're strong but they aren't invincible. Dings will happen, just not as often...




5-fin set up on this one...



Jimi is stoked!
Another satisfied customer!...
Yew!
