Surfing lowers on a San Clemente Surfboard

This was another beautiful day at the end of sepetmber with my friend Mike shooting.  This surfboard is a 6'4 round pin by 19 and 2.3/8 thick. This is a surfboard that works great in the power pocket of the wave.  The swell was running about 3 to 5 and great shape.  Ive since shaped two new surfboards and I'm currently selling this surfboard and a couple of others to keep the surfboards growing forward into the simple improvment for myself for you the customer.  Thanks for checking out my blog and website check in for the latest.  Come check all of the new and used surfboard.

Shaping Surfboards and Surfing in San Clemente

This was in september of 08 with my good friend Mike at lowers.  This board is the third generation off one of my favorite boards I have  surfed for over 8 years.  This is a 6'6 by 19.25 by 2.50 thick.  I grew up riding longboards and everything in between.  This board was a bit thick for my weight but it had plenty of drive and speed through the the slow sections.  In this photo I'm doing a speed check turn to set up for a drawn out bottom turn into the next section.  Speed and timing is the key to solid turns.  All of the surfboards used in the photo's are available and I'm in constant research and development with new boards on the way.  So stop by San Clemente Surfboards & Art  gallery and check out the boards.  I specialize in custom shaped Surfboards of all shapes and size's.  Stay tuned for more photo's to come.  

Surfing Lowers on San Clemente Surfboards

This is on a board Ive been riding for over eight years and I like to break it out when I'm in the developing stage for new boards.  This particular board is a 6'5 by 19.25 by 2.3/8 thick.  This board is very simple and very smooth with a flat bottom with slight vee off the tail.  It is 13.75 into a square tail.  This was a very good day and the waves were great for three days straight.  Stay tuned more photos to follow.  Ive shaped two new boards since with different bottom contours and dimensions.  Remember only focus on what you want in life.

Surfing Lowers on San Clemente Surfboards

This is a research and development day at trestles on my new San Clemente Surfboard.  I met up with my good friend mike aka chewy at 7ish at my store. This day I was feeling like riding a round pin so I picked out a 6'5 three fin by either 19.25 wide or maybe 19 and at least 2.3/8 thick.  We drove down El Camino Real to basilone to check it out and it was Id say 4 to 6ft swell happening at the infamous trestles skate park. The crowd was not to bad when the swell is pretty consistent.  Forgive me for the short blog but this is my first photo of many many different shots from surfing to surfboards to shaping to art.  So stay tuned for the next blog and remember what we think and feel becomes real.   

October swell 2008

Don't know how many of you people surfed last week but it was as good in south orange county.  For three days straight we had some amazing days that I know I wont forget.  I know one thing for sure when the waves are up surfers are energized to new levels.  The crowds were much less due to the amazing surf from the beach breaks to the point breaks.  Just wanted to remind everyone the surfing is a way of life so enjoy the ride and respect the beach and each other.

New boards in production for the winter swells.  What we think and feel becomes real so with that being said only focus on what you want and don't take life to serious.

What we think and feel becomes real

What we think and feel becomes real.  When you think of someone you haven't spoken to for awhile and then they call is a simple example of how powerful our thoughts really are.  So with that being said I was remind this last couple of weeks on how quickly life can change from positive to negative.  I realized speaking for myself if you people get it or not how important it is to pray or meditate when I go to sleep and when I wake up the next day.  I surf because it is something a love to do and it gives me the  energy and clarity of what life is all about happiness.  I shape surfboards and paint for the same reasons they all open up my mind and keep me balanced to be more creative and most importantly happiness.  This might be a bit much for you ego driven people to except and realize how simple life really is when you let go of ego.  Yes I admit I went through many years of the ego trip until I realized how much time and energy it took away from the simple pleasures in life like pure happiness ego free. So thank you to all my friend and family and new friends to come for all of your support with my new surfboard gallery.  We can only live our lives in the moment one day at a time so focus on only what you want and enjoy the ride. Like I say if your just looking for a deal, don't waste my time what I give money can't buy.  I build boards to the individuals ability so I want sell you a board you can't ride. THANKS
