Paradoxes




Let's talk custom.....
My very good friend Sean (we're going all the way back to High School!) likes to try and stump me when ordering boards.
All the typical paradoxes apply to him...

"...light, yet strong."
"...fast, yet loose."
"...skatey, yet carvey."
"...bright, yet subtle."
"...floaty, yet thin."

"Dude??"


5'10 fuller nose outline +
Wide point: 'around the center' +
Straighter tail, 'with a slight hip' +
Lower nose entry

= Skatey, yet Carvey!
Check!






Fuller volume under chest and forward
with accelerated tail rocker and
ample concave throughout.
100% bamboo fins by Marlin Bacon of Fins 101
( one set of these weighs less than one FCS fin without plugs.
The only fin that floats!)

= Floaty, yet thin. Fast, yet loose.

Check!





 100% hand-made and glassed by Russell Hoyte. 4-ounce bottom, double 4-ounce direct-size E-glass deck with tail patch.
4.8 lbs

80's Flourescent paint splash!

= Light, yet strong. Bright, yet subtle.

Photos coming soon. Right, Sean?

Happy Monday, except for you Ranger fans.
Our condolences.

Congrats Giants on the World Series, 2010.
San Francisco is rockin' tonight!
