What I build

The lineup

A starting point, not a menu. Got an outline in your head that isn't here? Let me know.

Logs & Longboards

Logs & Longboards

Length9'0" and up FinsSingle fin

Full, rolled rails and a flat enough entry to catch the wave early and trim forever. The nose is kept wide and the rocker low so it holds a noseride, while a pulled-in tail still lets you turn off the back foot. A single fin gives it the pivot and drive a log is supposed to have. Built around glide, not effort.

Best forTrimming, noseriding, mellow points and small days
Mid-Lengths & Eggs

Mid-Lengths & Eggs

Length6'6" to 7'8" FinsSingle or 2 + 1

The board that does almost everything. Enough length and foam to paddle into what you want, with a refined foil and a touch more rocker than a log so it still comes alive off the bottom. A rolled-to-vee bottom gives it glide in a straight line and roll from rail to rail when you lean on it. The one to reach for when you only bring one.

Best forAll-around surfing, dawn patrol, building wave count
Twins & Fishes

Twins & Fishes

Length5'4" to 6'4" FinsTwin or quad

Wide point pushed forward, low entry rocker, and a fish or swallow tail that carries speed straight through the flat spots. The keels keep it fast and drivey, a modern twin keeps it loose. This is the board that makes small, gutless days fun again, and it still holds a line when the wave picks up. Speed is the whole idea.

Best forSpeed and glide, small to head-high beach break
Single Fins

Single Fins

Length6'0" to 7'6" FinsSingle fin

A drawn-out outline and a single fin tuned for flow over snap. It wants long, leaning turns and rewards a patient back foot rather than quick direction changes. Less about reacting to the wave, more about feeling it and drawing a line across it. For surfers who care how a turn feels, not just how tight it is.

Best forFlow, drawn-out lines, a classic feel underfoot

How they get made

Shaped by hand, one pass at a time

Foam, a planer, a sanding block, and more patience than I usually have. Shaped and glassed by hand, checked by eye.
