Sharp-dressed man rides Moonshine
Our sharp-dressed friend Scott stopped by after work to pick up his custom EPS Pendoflex moontail quad. He christened his new ride, surfing under the light of the full moon, hence its name Moonshine. M’tussie captured the photo of Scotty surfing at the reef. Thanks, Scott and Mike! Cowa-flexit!

Step OFF! for Chapman
Family charger Chapman Murphey is stoked. . . he’s been scoring big barrels in Mainland Mex this summer, and he asked Steve to build him this rad, racey Pendoflex Step OFF. Steve used a heavy blank and glassed it with 7 layers of cloth, and Step OFF weighs in at about 13 pounds. Chapman is […]
