5-10 Redwood Quad

Another stock board for the shop, a 5’10″ round tail quad.  The Redwood is salvaged, and the pine is scrap from a mini ramp that we built over the summer.  Stop by the shop and have a look!

5’10″ Redwood Mini-Disc

Buy$ 2400

The newest board to be completed is this little 5’10″ beauty made of recycled old growth redwood deck boards and recycled doug-fir/cedar wedges.  The fin is a rising sun motif, with alternating colors on both sides of the fin. The nail holes were inlayed with the heads of copper tacks, to give a really unique and beautiful look amidst the old-growth redwood. The board was glassed in Entropy “One” Bio Resin, with two layers of 4oz cloth on deck and a single layer on the bottom. The top deck has an open coat, exposing the weave and shaving off weight. The board also has cork rails, a red abalone shark inlay in the tail, and a glass leash loop.  The board weighs in at a slight ten pounds. Dimensions are 5’10″ x 21″ x  2 5/8″.

6’3″ MP Tribute

A tribute board built before the loss of the great Michael Peterson.  This 6’2″ replica of the MP Morning of the Earth board is made of a beautifully faded green Poplar.  The single fin is made from salvaged Redwood and scrap Poplar.  The wide point forward at 20 3/4 encourages the rider to ride up on the board, lending itself to long drawn out turns.  The rails are turned down throughout the board and at 2 5/8ths thick, this board has no trouble paddling or catching waves.  A second model built from salvaged redwood will be posted shortly.
