FLEXDRIVE IS HERE !!


Been working on stringerless dealios alot the last few months with great feedback. Doing all kinds of different glass schedules, some great, some ok and some not so good.Basically I want to take all that I have learned with my parabolic program and add tortional memory response to the equation.

What you see here is the result of alot of R&D

A 5-6 Quad Fish with the FLEXDRIVE (tm)carbon stringer system I've developed with Pedro Vasquez. These things are like catching lightning in a jar! Made to take every bit of energy you can dish out, absorb it and give it back to you at a rapid rate for a powerful and positive response.These things are flat out f***in fast. And lively as hell.

"For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction"

So far we have been building these with eps/epoxy, but Moonlight is set to do some and I am confident that I will be able to offer them in poly as well once we dial in the glass schedule over there

This one is a custom for Mike

WELCOME HOME!!!




Here in Oceanside we definately feel the effects of the war mor than most areas. Case in point, a few years back I sold a board to a nice red faced guy , just off the turnip truck from Indiana,yup a marine.skip forward a couple of years and Andy had pretty much become a member of the family ,fast forwarding his surfing skills with many camping trips to churches and hanging with and becoming one of the boys.Before long Andy was was working in our shop on the weekends and learning how to laminate boards.
Then the reality of his job hit and he had to deploy to Iraq for the third time. This summer just was'nt the same without him around, funny but with our South gone (Andy South that is) there was also a lack of south swell activity around so cal this summer, and even when there was surf none of us really wanted to go to church without Andy, it just did'nt feel the same.

Turns out theres a happy ending to this story though, as Andy rolled into the shop yesteday, red faced and happy as ever, ready to go for a surf. heres a shot of Andy at work in the big sandbox and one back home going for his first surf in way too long
It felt good hearing some respectful friends in the water thanking him for his service,more people should take the time to thank our military,who make how we live our lives possible.

Hey maybe theres even some time for some late south's --but most of all -- welcome home bro!!
