Over the summer I've been squirreling away making Carlos Burles new gun, which is now in his safe hands at the beginning of the winter in Hawaii.
I went to town with a Jackson Pollack inspired design on the deck and left the under side plane of the quad gun, the wood types are - walnut, chestnut and mahogany.
Carlos sports a santa hat next to his sled.

This is the first board to go to New Zealand.
Ramon has bee living and working in London for the last 6 years and wanted something special to take back to NZ with him, so he ordered an SUP infact he ordered 2 one for him and one for his wife too.
He picked up the first this morning, this is a 10'6'' all round SUP for surf and flat water too, the weather was lovely at 8:30am this morning so we got this shot in the morning sunshine and the proud new owner.

6'6'' Bonzer, for Scott.
This board is a round tailed bonzer, classic bonzer bottom contours and fin set up.
I did a little stain work on the bottom of this board, and I'm really happy with how it turned out, as it flows with the grain really nicely and I think the colors work with the mahogany.
This board is flying out to France in a few days but can be seen at Free riders in Falmouth for the next few days.

Rics new fish

This is the latest board built for Ric Harwood.
Its a small fish with a central channel for drive and v off the tail for friendly ride.
The rails are slim towards the tail for controlled drive, and 50 50 going forwards to the nose to give a loose forgiving ride.
Rics 3rd GT board now, hes hooked on the wood!

Its all plane to sea

I've recently made some solid chestnut wood hand planes. This is a pin tailed plane with double handed grip, and funky channels. It has a raspberry red stain on the tail, and can be fitted with a rubber wist support so there is less chance of loosing it in bigger surf.
Hand planes are huge fun, and as a stand up surfer up until now I hadn't made much of a foray into body surfing, but trying these things out really brings home the simple pleasure of you and the wave in a very uncomplicated way.

The latest Walnut waltz I had some studio pics taken by my friend Ben so here they are.
The dims of the board are 9'8'' x 23'' x 3'',
and was built for Byron.
