Here’s a version of the Ci dumster diver, board specs (5′4 19 1/8 2 1/8), carbon rail saver, RAS airbrush, fcs fusion. This board was made for Josh “Beuitre” Goetz man of many waves, it appears to be working well for him…. thanks for the pix JC & Greg

Another board brought back from the dead ready to give it another shot. The owner of this board brought to me and just want some new fins on it and told me to just ” get it wharta tight “. I took a look at and told him it wasnt really possible unless we fully restored it. The fins were shot , the deck and rail were completely bubbled and delamed. He gave me the thumbs up, go for it. So I grinded the fins off which was a nitemare at least for that one chewed up one, acutally had to cut it off with a hand saw. I then grinded the entire board down and filled every hole and bubble. Then reglassed the enitire board, put the pin back on and glossed and polished it. The finished product came out really nice a bit heavy but should still ride well. hope u like it.

Here’s a new outline I’ve been working with for the QuadzillaII model. I wanted to make it a lil’ more performance oriented for the guy that needs to trim it down a bit(not so retro), took some meat out all around. I will still be doing the old model as well with the full outline just let me know what your needs are . Thanks for everyone’s support……

Just got back from an insane trip to Nicaragua with Josh Goetz and Tom “the bomb” Ramsey, we scored perfect waves all day everyday for 2wks…. I’ve been to alot of places around the world and this was definately one of my favorite trips ever, no traveling looking for waves just wake up and walk out the back door. If you want to score seek waves all day long then book your ticket. Here’s a few pics JOsh GOetz took while he wasn’t shredding. hope u enjoy

( 7′10 20 2 3/4 ) Here’s a 7′10 Gun for Ben from Rockaway, a Serious board for Serious Surf. Its really fun to make a big wave board like this, they are just so impressive when they’re in your hands. I like to imagine the waves this beast will take on.

80’s Flashback

I remember moving to Florida and hanging out at the Indialantic Boardwalk early 90’s watching this guy throwing crazy airs all over the place. It was John Holeman and he was mind blowing, a man way before his time. John was doing some pretty technical airs which would match up to any young aerialist of today. ( oh forgot to mention most of them were on twins….)here’s some pics mid to late 80’s
