Tale of the Big Striper
Flash back to the time just after Clark foam closed, when good foam was scarce. Our friend’s shop in La Jolla had received some blanks from South Africa. I picked up a blank for Steve, trusting that it was true and fine. And, due to the times, it was the most expensive blank we’d bought […]
Pendoflex 9’1″ longboard for Mr. Jeff
Hello, there! Here’s Jeff with his new 9’1″ Pendoflex longboard, for points south. Steve shaped a beveled deck into this one. Jeff has a sternum that talks to him when he paddles, so Steve rounded out the deck to fit his chest, complete with a nice soft inlay. Cowa-flexit!

A kind note of Hubba!
Hello, there. We learned the expression “Hubba” from Skipper . . . it is the ultimate of sincere encouragement and stoke. (Thanks, Skipper). Recently we received this great note from Mike M. He divides his time between Santa Monica and Costa Rica, where he and his friends have a beautiful eco-retreat Drake’s Bay. Mike and […]
