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.

Starting off the New Year right!

2011 was a pretty good year in my eye's.  Filled it with some big life lessons, The Love of my life along with a baby on the way. Surf wise was pretty slow with meager swells, a back injury and lot's of work.

 But 2012 is starting off amazing already just signed with Rockwell Watches, Have some blanks ordered to get back in the shaping bay to build some fresh new boards. Hawaii just had a solid swell with more lined up even though the Big Island was blocked by the other Islands for most of it. And work got in the way some but got a couple of fun ones and the timing is looking better for this next swell.

 So here's to another killer year thank you everyone for the support last year and thank you even more for the continued support!

Holiday's

What can I say it has been a amazing Holiday season My Mom came out from the Mainland for Thanksgiving and to find out if we were having a baby boy or girl and to my relief we are having a Boy.

Followed by a killer Christmas where I got engaged to the woman of my Dreams!!!!

 But other then that the surf in and around Kona has been on the small side. So we are all hoping for turn for the better with the New Year. Here is a couple of New photos in the mean time. 

Hope everyone is having as good of a Holiday Season as we are! And here's to another killer year!!!!
