No Waves/New Boards!

The surf left us just as quickly as it showed up.

Ran down to the beach this morning with all fingers and toes crossed, hoping that I'd get a repeat of Friday's super session. No luck. The swell began building on Thursday, peaked on Friday and was gone by Saturday. Still hopped in for a killer session in waist-high glassy peaks; fun is where you find it!

Check out these freshies:

Top Photo:
Mike Gillard with his 10'6" Marbella. Clean lines, pulled tail and a family set of footprints on the nose- what else do you really need? Maybe a 10'0?

Middle and Bottom Photos: Custom. What a sweet word when referring to a 10'0" Stamps, hand-made, ready and willing for some coastal wave-scalp collection sessions. Steve B. checking out his new magic ride.

For a Good Cause: Check out this strand at the Stand Up Zone- it's a paddle auction for a good cause- Save the Children.

wow, love that marbella. do you know how wide it is? i'm keeping my eyes open for a noserider, probably one that's a lot longer than 10-6, but that board looks pretty great.

Hey Linter- 28" wide. I think you'd find that with the way Paolo did the rocker and foil on that thing there'd be enough board for you to hang all ten! A clean, clean, shape.
