Stringerless Stubbie for Sale

This stubbie was my personal board and it's lightly used with no dings. Glassed with Volan, it has moderate flex and works best in hollower beach break surf. (I designed it with Ocean Beach in mind.)

Stringerless Stubbie

Dan Partch just sent over some hand-foiled marine-ply side bites for my newest stringerless project, a 5'9" stubbie 2+1. I've been really stoked lately on sub-6' stubs with spiral vee for navigating around various nugs here in Ocean Beach. Chuck Ames is in the process of making some special 7" volan L-flex fins for Mandala, which should be ready around the time this board's ready to surf...

Special thanks to heavy D.Partch for making such beautiful fins. He's the nicest ex-drill sergeant you'll ever meet...

Marc Andreini Loves to Shape

I was lucky enough to be invited down to Marc's secret shaping lair to be educated on the finer points of hull design. I got to listen to some great stories of how he and Kirk Putnam shaped and rode stubbies throughout the 60's and in the decades that followed---true research and design in the clean point surf of Santa Barbara. I hope I can honor his generosity by shaping a few boards and continuing this special kind of design tradition.

Here's a few photos of Marc shaping my new 5'11" Vaquero...







More photos to come...
