My dear friend and our brother of the sea, Chuck K. passed away unexpectedly on Jan 23rd.
He was the real deal; a lifelong San Diego surfer and a surfboard design connoisseur. Saltwater pulsed through his veins.
Irascible and astutely wise, luckily for me, we became friends a couple of years...

Anyone ever experience this?
Recently, picked up a sweet used twinzer from a good friend. It came with fins. First paddle out in 2 ft surf (sand bottom) and two of the fins snapped off at base. One from each side and one of each size.

Randomly ran into Nat Young at a San Clemente surf shop last week. I was surprised at how stoked I was by the experience. Probably because I've watched him rip in many '60's surf flicks but especailly the final segment in Hot Generation (watched at least 50 times) where he and McTavish shred...
Hey Jammers
I’m reaching out to the local San Diego / Orange County surfing community to appeal for assistance on behalf of a good cause. My kid’s high school (Scripps Ranch High School) just launched a club focused solely on recycling unwanted surfboards and then donating them to...
Michael Miller has an excellent reputation for his glassing expertise but, he also shapes boards. He offered to build a demo board for us to try.
Attached is a shot of the 9.6 blank that he made for this purpose, last week. This is his version of the fishsimmons model developed by Frye. He...
I've oftened wondered where many of you got your inspiration for your screen names. Hopefully, some of you are as curious as I am and offer an explanation.
