Lazor Zap 2.0


New lazor zap shaped identically to the one i did in the spring but glassed with resin-x...1.7# e.p.s. core with resin-x instead of epoxy...should have a nice, polyester flex feel with the feather weight and durability of styro-pox (to coin a phrase i got from john lucas)...
got some cool "green" recycled fins from my fcs rep to compliment the package. stoked!

ZAP !

gave my lazor zap a facelift..rode it quite a bit during the hurricane swells we got and decided it's a keeper. the epoxy was turning brown so it was time for a paint job...turned out OK

more fins




another set...gephart template

fin making


long time, no post...sorry, been very involved with the updating and unveiling of my new website...all the brainchild of my buddy, jamie borders, webmaster extrordinaire..."thank you" doesn't adequately convey my feelings, jamo...the site is off the chart.

got around to making a couple of sets of fins for two mini-simmons i've been riding all summer. making a set of fins can be a fun job since it doesn't take that long (instant gratification) and the results are often eye-pleasing...these half-moon shaped jobs really work well in the 5'2"..

using the FCS fusion system is a real advantage, too....simple to get nice results.

New Quad for Brandon




brandon blackmon brought in a couple of boards he was currently riding to see if i could combine some of the attributes of both into a single board. the result was this diamond tail quad that's 6'4 x 21 1/2" x 2 3/4". he emailed a picture of a WW I bi-plane (sopwith camel) for the target insiginia, the celery green color came from a photo of a campbell bros. bonzer.

Summer Shorty For Sale


i optimistically shaped this for myself soon after the shoulder surgery but am realizing there's no way i'll paddle a board this small in the foreseeable future.

it's e.p.s./epoxy (marko 1.9 lb. blank).....5'7" x 19 1/4" x 2 3/8" w/ fcs fusion system.......I'm letting it go for $400 without fins (420 with) so i can build myself another version scaled up to help with my lousy paddling.

oh yeah...brand new...never even been waxed
