Twin Arc Tail Quad Part xxxx

Ive been working on this board for a couple of months now and Im finally getting to where I really want it!!

5'10 x 19 x 2 3/8
4.5oz bottom / 4.5oz + 1/4 patch top
Channel bottom Quad.

Lots of influence from my original HP fish, Mitten's kiteboard and Tomo's Tail designs.

I used this board for the sacred craft show last weekend and I finally convinced myself to take her out. Padded and waxed up, first sesh would be at local spot. shoulder high + with the funky section just where the creek has been flowing.

I had to shake off the foam and sanding dust on the first 2 waves, As soon as my feet started putting some grooves. It started to feel at home.

As I moved to the inside and started picking off the swing wides I was damn stoked! The added tail rocker + experimental fin placements just loosened up the board perfectly without sacrificing drive and trim.

Gonna try different fins tomorrow. The plastic fins starts to wash out a bit.

Stoked!

BIRTHRIGHT

One of my customers sent me a reply to one of my emails with this link. Honestly I did not even bother opening it. I thought it was one of those "surf" videos again.

It took me a few days to go through my emails and decided .. what the heck, lets see what this is all about.

As I sat watching it, it didnt take long to feel inspired and moved by this short film. Its one of those films that you just try to anticipate the next moment. Its inspiring to see guys like Michael on how they dial in their everyday living... cutting all the bullshit and unneeded things we do.

There are so many things in life I bitch and moan about and sometimes I forget the small things that makes life beautiful.

Sean Mullen captured this in everyway I can imagine. It couldn't be more perfect.

Twin Arc Tail

This is one of the new boards for 2010. Its a combination of a few boards that has been a best seller/ magic boards for us the past few years. Ive combined the Brick outline and HP fish outline and added a split in the tail to create two planing areas to flex independently. I cleaned up the entry rocker for smoother paddling and create a faster water entry. I added some tail kick to tighten up and quicken your turns. All this paired up with a deeper single concave for added lift and rail to rail power...

As for the tail design, this was a combination of a kite board Mr. Campbell made a while back and a touch of Mr. Thomson crazy tail splits. Id like thank them both for the inspiration on this design.
