Eli Mirandon and I have been working on a 5'11" stubbie twin for the past few weeks, and here's the first prototype. After I shaped it, I handed it over to the Mirandons at their top-secret factory lair. The board has a trippy resin stain on the bottom via Eli and was glassed by his dad Nick.

Eli got to surf it in some knee to waist high waves last night and it works pretty darn good (yup, he was ripping.) Nick Mirandon was shooting some video, so we should have that footage soon.

MIRANDON SURFBOARDS

If you live in Japan, check out my friend's shop called ZAP SURFSHOP TOKYO. They have a good selection of Mollusky stuff, and some beautiful boards from Andreini, Fineline, Klaus Jones, and many others.

I'll be going to Sacred Craft in Ventura next week where I'll have a booth full of boards and crafty objects to check out. Hope to see you all there May 16-17! Visit SACRED CRAFT for more info on the show.

This here tri-plane hull is for John Smart, one clever feller with a camera and a burrito.

Here's our friendly neighborhood shredder Ben Matz surfing his 5'11" Mandala tri-plane hull at his local not-so-secret-spot...

Here's some late night R&D at the Mirandon compound, where the Venn diagram of surfboard design collaboration morphs into an empirical reality...shoots.

Emergency ding repair often requires various power tools, spontaneous ingenuity, and some Tecate.
