When did surfing become such a pansy activity?

Seriously?

Hunter Gatherer...why am I shaping so many shortboards lately?
The latest. Something a bit more familiar. Had this idea for a longtime and seeing some of creations from Kookbox and JW made me finally want to make it. First Layer of glass. 6oz+ 4oz deck patch 3/4 up from the nose and a 6oz layer on the bottom. I want this thing to go fast and be able to turn by shifting a toe. I kept the board flat, with almost no nose rocker because Mr. Popp says the worst thing on a single fin shorty/midlength is when they have "a stupid banana nose" ..and I agree with him. 6'4''x 19 3/4'' x 3in'' x 15 1/8'' x 12 1/2'' Can't wait to take this thing out!
Calling this the Hunter Gatherer. Not really for the sake of being clever in that it'll probably catch waves easy, but mainly for the lam. A guy I once knew had this idea to get a dear and a bear tattooed on each arm oriented this way. I always thought that would be awesome, so I drew it up real fast how I thought it should look. Anyway...already got a tattoo where the dear would go on my left arm, so here it is on a board.

THE DINK prototype is done for Tyler Day and ready for some cold head high barrels back home up in Central Coast.
Final Dimensions 6'x 14 1/4" x 19" x 2 5/8" x 15 1/4"
Bottom is relatively flat with a slight single concave right above the fins then into a V out the tail.

"The Dink" for Tyler Day.
Latest board for Tyler up in Shell Beach. 6'0x18 3/4''x 2 5/8'' Took elements from merricks' MBM+ but stole the tail and rocker from the Flyer. Honestly..how that guy charges so much for those boards is beyond me. It's criminal. This thing is ready for hotcoat and polish next. Then off to colder waters up North. Hope you dig it Tyler!

Testing a couple of recent boards
Haven't had a lot of action in the water the last 2 months from holidays and moving, but I got a couple snippets of the last couple of boards that made it out of the garage.
The blunt nose longboard is long gone in the land of craigslist:Venice. Sad to see it go, it was a fun one. Still got the little guy. It was great last week in some 5-6ft mushy Porto waves. I think I have to test it out a couple more times before I let it go. Anyway, Enjoy!
