Where You At?



Like all good board shops I'm tucked in down by the train tracks. Pretty simple though. Just turn off Hwy 1 / Mission Street onto Swift Street towards the ocean. Go one short block and over the train tracks, then left down the driveway by my sign and you're there.

My shop hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 10 - 4, other times available by appointment. Surfing and kids come into play sometimes during business hours so it never hurts to call first.

Eli's New Styrolite


Eli Atkins with his new round pin styrolite.

This super clean design is the perfect compliment to winter's overhead wave.



Eli is the mastermind behind the Santa Cruz Board Builders Guild "Handcrafted" logo and the "Styrolite" logo I use for my epoxy boards.



This ultra talented cat has a pretty impressive resume. From helment and product design at Bell / Giro to various other projects, he has a great creative eye. Not to mention he rips! Check out his site, Fight the Computer.



The back half of the board is fueled by the True Ames EA Hex Core Fins. Besides keeping the tail light, the black fins and rail go well with the plaid. Nice work!

SUPs


Keith Gouveia at Ocean Beach on a 10'6" quad SUP.

Keith covers a lot of ground, from Santa Cruz to San Francisco he's on it. He's a super cool and courteous guy who always has a smile on his face.



Ok, without pain, guilt, nor fear I've let the "cat out of the bag". Yes, I SUP and I build a few custom board for the enthusiast. This is a 9'6" I made for myself. Overall, it's a great workout and a good way to poke around and plug into waves that most folks don't bother with.



I've been messing around with the quad fin fish idea. Really like the speed, stability and lively feel on the face of the wave.

Coffey Table



Who could resist the play on words. It's a natural fit!

Well, Adam Brodsley and the folks at Volume Inc decided they needed a table they could use to hatch their latest visual schemes. And having a surfer in the bunch, this balsa table was born.





The added bonus is the chips and dip and beer rings wipe right off.

Aloha Egg



Came across this fabric and couldn't wait to use it with a nice color base. The panels worked perfectly for fitting in the logo.

Here's a shot of Bill's Quiver. Kind of cool how the templates dovetail into each other.
