Things with Wings



Jake has always been interested in the classic designs that have come and gone over the years. But he has also had the mindset to bring them forward and transform them into modern performance shapes. This has been a great watershed of experimentation and creative freedom.



Both these boards harken back to the single fin 70's. The outlines give a hint to how plan shapes were set up. But the retro lust stops there. Everything else is pretty much modern. Sure, I'll flatten a deck a little, puff a rail out, or flute the wings, but that just adds to the fact that these are custom boards and not just something you get off the rack.

Same here Ward, I really dig your shapes. Have you made any midlengths in the 7'-8' range latley?
