Here are a few shots from around town today. The conditions were clean most of the day and surf was in the 2-4 ft range.  Feels like summer already, lets hope it lasts!  After an amazing winter, it looks like we could have a solid summer on the horizon as well. I really hope so…

Here are some more shots of our latest project, The Grand Tourino!  The GT has been in the work for months, and is now in its final stages of R and D.  We should have the first few available to the public next week, and we should have our new site up in the next few days as well. It will focus on our flatwater SUP boards, that in my mind are going to start a whole new standard in what we are calling “Performance Touring”. Basically the first touring SUP that can hold its own against the race boards. There are so many features on this board that I dont even know where to start, but check out these pictures, and I will be back with a lot more very soon…

Happy St. Patricks day, it is great to be home!

Here are some shots of Naki over in Hawaii this past week taking advantage of these late season NW swells on his 5`5 Fireblade!

Here are a few shots from today up at Lake Tahoe, where we tested out our new flatwater paddleboard!   I will be back with more about it very soon when we release it to the public some time over the next few weeks…

Here is a quick video of the boys tearing it up on their Aviso`s…

I am so stoked it is finally friday!  We have been grinding away at the shop all day and I am seriously ready for a cold one!  Here is a quick song from Frank Black to rock you into the weekend, and I will be back with more shortly…

Here are a few shots I took at the shop today.  John and I spent the day working on a new board that you will see a lot more of soon! I am beat right now so I am going to keep it short but I will be back in the morning with more…

I drove up to the Aviso factory yesterday to work on a few new things with John. Woke up this morning to a light snow falling and temperature in the thirtys!  Check back tomorrow for some more pics from the shop, and go get a couple waves for me in the morning, looks like it should be fun in So Cal…

SC to Tahoe... All in a days work!
