California Spud

This board I shaped a while ago for our friend, Matt Coleman who we met through church and Santa Barbara Christian Surfers, which he leads.

Matt's a good surfer and wanted a small wave mush-buster.

So....California Spud -  modified.

Check out this Swallow Tail or Sqa-llow Tail. Actually, the name I initially came up with was Slingshot Tail because it looks like my son's wrist-rocket.

I've also seen it called the Jet Tail.

At 5'10  x  20  3/4  this outline has LOTS of curve!

This really gives the board the ability to skate and to utilize a smaller portion of the rail during turns.

The cool thing about this board is that Matt is just over 6 foot tall, about 180 lbs and a really good surfer.

He rode this in a lot of good surf at Rincon and Jalama and has since ordered more.
