mirandala twubbie








Eli sent me these frame grabs of him putting the twubbie through its paces. I got to surf it a few weeks ago and it's so much fun to surf...



...fast, loose, and weird. We're taking orders for them now, with Eli doing the color flow on the bottom, your choice of resin tint color on the deck, and the Mirandon Twin Fin template in bamboo from 101 Fin Company in either Lokbox or glass-ons. Interested parties can contact me at mandalacustomshapes@gmail.com.



Chewy, is that you? Justin Adams shows us how hulls don't work so well backside.

My friend Erika has been making some pretty cool board bags for hulls and fish out of vintage fabrics. Check out her offerings on ETSY, and her blog at NEW BOHEMIA ARTS.

this is not live blogging

The 2009 Sacred Craft was a pretty fun event. Our hippy-stoner-dirtbag booth turned out to be a nice and cozy place for everyone to play jenga, drink a few beers, and check out some boards. Next year there's talk of a doing solar gravity bong hits on top of a mini-pyramid inside our tee-pee shaped booth.
