We're finally closing the loop and can offer a surfboard that has all of its components hand-made here in California:


Clear sanded AK4s, hand-foiled by Jack Jensen.
Bases by 101 Fin Co.

Modified 9" Greenough 4A, hand-foiled by Jack Jensen.
Finished by Captain Fin Company.

So long China!

Never leave a possessed puppy alone with foam padding and new hats (sorry Ando!).




I guess the peanut butter-filled KONG, rawhide sticks, and stuffed animals just weren't enough for this demon child. Lucky it wasn't a custom!

Mitch's Surf Shop - Solana Beach

The burrito-eating shop rats at Mitch's North have finally joined nerd-dom and started a blog:

MITCH'S SURF SHOP



Opened in 1967, Mitch's is one of the last surf shops left that actually sell blanks and shaping tools, (how many of you out there bought your first blank from them?) have employees who know what spiral vee is, and they even sell bandoleros that hold cans of beer...
