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.
