Dextra Paipo

So i have been looking for a Paipo for a while now.  Well, a few months back I finally bumped into one at the Long Beach Flea Market.  I had to grab it up.  Its a Dextra and measures just shy of 3'10".  It has a few dings around the nose and tail but besides that is in pretty good shapre with the original fin.  Pretty stoked on it and have started the repairs already on it and have a spot on my sons wall all ready for it, although all he wants to do is ride it.

Wonka Bar

There is something very cool about a fish.  Not sure what it is.  Could be the fact that they look so damn fast or could be that they work so incredibly well and are so fun to ride.  The last fish i had was back in college and was 6'0" and there is no way i can ride that anymore.  Thought i would make one a bit more appropriate for me.  This board that I affectionately call the Wonka Bar is 6'6" with twin bamboo keel fins that made from plyboo stock that I have.  The thing was fun to shape but is even better to ride.  Good break from my longboards, and i don't catch as much grief from my shortboard friends. Pardon the shots, i hadn't cleaned up the board yet.......

Republic Hull

So I have had a fascination with Liddle Hulls for a while now, just as many Californians have had over the years.  My wife and her brother went to school with Greg's son and from the second she told me that I started my research.  They are truly amazing boards, and seriously crazy rides. I thought I would try one.  Unlike Liddle I thought I would step up the graphics on it a bit.  I asked my dear friend John Culqui to do up some graphics on the board.  As always he did not let me down.  I asked him to do something with the California flag or California in general, my other fascination.  Well he did an amazing painting of the Bear Republic Flag, the original California flag.  Still in amazement every time I see one of his paintings.  The board is based off of one of Liddle's Stubbies and measured 7'0" with a single flex fin and knife rails and a sand finish, had to stay true to those features.  Thanks John for the most amazing graphic to date.
