right coast customs!































Super thanks to the Falcone family for putting me up while shaping in the Grey Ghost creation station, and for all the yummy manicotti and paella!

Body shakas to Chris Gentile and the Mollusk family for letting us crash in the studio after bending limits of human endurance in the wee hours...

Thank you thank you thank you to Dutchie, Dubstar, and Chris for organizing the custom orders and putting up with all the questions and concerns (is my board ready yet?)...

And lastly, super thanks to Joe Falcone for letting me shape in your awesome little shaping bay...the most fun I've had in NY ever!

    Mr. Caro, beautiful work, as always.

    Mr. Anon, getta clue son, his company in Mandala CUSTOM Shapes, that means he can handle all sizes. Are you just frustrated b/c his boards are so nice and you don't have one? Throwing barbs is no way to get a board made. Give him a call, I have a feeling Mr. Caro is even a friend to enemies...

    Im 6 foot 175 and no smurf. I ride 5,6" and 5.7" double wing quad fish. They rule and are supposed to be ridden small. The volume is more important than length. Tow boards are all small now under 6 foot with added weight.
