The Carlita Special...

Apologies for the lack of posts. Its been an odd week for work. At least ive put in some time in the water. Now my body hurts and I need to make some money... 

Heres Carla's new board, 9'2 x 22 7/8 x 2 7/8s triple stringer pintail aka The Carlita Special.
I shaped this 2 weekends ago knowing that i might be spending some time in the shaping room. This is my first triple stringer blank I've shaped and guess what. Yes its a major pain in the ass! BUT this wont be the last! I actually enjoyed it! I think i will make a double stringer stringer log for my self soon.

 

watch my spray mom!

I was browsing though my photos this morning and these 2 shots caught my attention. I looked closley and I could not believe how much spray these guys were throwing, mind you this was hmm maybe 2-3 ft Malibu at best.   Spray throwers are Chad Eastman and Yves Bright. 2010 Malibu Invitational

Practice makes perfect

Zack took the trash out, vacuumed and swept the shop yesterday... He got to give my trusty skil a go!

Not too shabby for a first timer! He'll be working on this blank in next few weeks! Super stoked for him!
