Everyday changing diapers

Just throwing a couple new photos up.. Yes I have had more then my hands full lately with the amazing new addition to our family..Which some how makes it just fine when I miss that perfect time to go get some new shots. But I am making a point now that hopefully the season will kick into higher gear and with a jet ski setting in the shop there will be a abundance of photos coming out soon.

Happy Holidays

It's been awhile

  Once again it has been awhile since I wrote on here but times have been busy between the day job,surfing,shaping,starting another business and getting closer to becoming a father.
 Wow I think i just summed up the last month all in one sentence but I will include a ton of photos of all the things going on just incase your bored at work and want to browse.
 Tried to go score some surf this past weekend and drove 400 miles between Saturday and sunday I know on the Mainland that is nothing to do even in just a afternoon. But for us out here it is a mission in a half so Saturday we drove up to the North Side and got killed by the wind but got some  exploring in and a couple cool shots of the new boards.. So Sunday we drove to the South end once again to be met with Rain wind and 2 foot close out's..  So here's to a flat week at home with work stacked up and 5 boards to shape.. Praying for surf and no wind some where later in the week.

I am going to go ahead and put it out there that this will probably  go from surf stuff to some kinda fatherhood blog in the next month.. HA nah I won't do that to you guys but I am stoked on becoming a father and the journey will probably be way funner the surfing small windy days

Thanks for taking the time to check it out or at least keep you entertained for a few minutes at your desk when the boss wasn't looking.

Working on some big things

Well there has only been a couple of ok swells for Kona and between work and being in the shaping room working on some new models I missed most of the good days..
 But we have the new logo's designed and ordered, 4 new board models launched the Facebook for the surfboards http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100003538546911. And things are already to come down the line with getting board order's and stacks of ding repair's
So stay tuned for more good news on the Shaping front and it looks like there might be some surf on the way to break in the new boards.

Another productive week

Midweek and it's already shaping into a good one.Spent some time in the shaping room building some new board models and at times had the whole family in there critiquing every move helping to make the boards the best the can be. 

And of course with the luck of the Big Island we get a good swell to show up and 25 knot winds come with it. And with some other factors mixed in were the ingredients to setting Kona on fire literally yesterday afternoon thankfully the rain showed up late and some amazing work from the fire fighters no house's were burned.

  But we were luck to day to find a rare beach break to offer up a couple of close outs along with a near decapitation from my best friend.. (Thanks Chris)!!! Hopefully the wind backs down and we can get some clean ones later this week.

Swells stacking up for Hawaii

Finally the Big Island is in line to start getting some good surf after a slow start to this winter.. So what better time to get in the Shaping bay and build some new boards and break in the new shop.

Stay posted for more new shots over the next week or so.

After work sessions

It's only Tuesday evening and I have already lucked into two quick after work evening sessions and both being pretty uncrowded . Luckily I was able to get Whitney to come and shoot a couple of shots.

And from the looks of Surfline there is another swell to start either Wednesday or Thursday so let's hope for some more short work days.

Weekend of some waves and some wrong calls

Got some fun ones on friday. But spent Saturday supporting a friends benefit for his father most of the day and surfed some terrible waves saturday evening  and buckled a board on the only good wave. With the WNW swell on the rise we made the call to go into a remote 4wd  beach that usually scores. But I forgot that the night before I told my buddy Murphy he could ride with us  and to no unveil he brought his law with us. And we spent the day on the beach instead of in the water.It was probably the only zone on this side of the Island that was completely flat.  Thank god for our friend Mike for carrying the beers in it at least made the day more manageable. And it's always a good time with  Whitney and our dog pua. Looks like another swell towards the middle or end of the week.
