zing!!

first rode a mini simmons back in september. immediately obsessed. did some research. talked to a lot of people. looked at a lot of internet stuff. after seeing some that friend allen from seagate surfboards made, decided to ask him to make one. later decided wanted to try to shape one for vern. allen was kind enough to let me observe. and lend me his shape shed. and tools. and knowledge. and give me mucho pointers. got greg at eavey rider surfboards to glass them. and the result follows. it was a super rad project/process and many thanks to allen and greg for letting me be so involved. truly truly enjoyed. and couldn't be happier with the outcome.

shapes.

smiles.
