EP's Custom Plover

A while back, EP caught a few waves on a borrowed Plover from one of our buddies. In the short while that he was on the board, we watched him carve beautiful turns, hit the lip with ease and fluidity, and fly across sections that others were forced to kick out of. Needless to say, we were floored by how well the board was working under his feet. He was sold and so were we. To customize his Plover, he opted to ditch the baby swallow and go with an arc tail instead. Also, we rounded out the nose to make it look a little more classic. The resulting Plover is thing of beauty. We can't wait to get this board wet! Dims are 5'4 1/2" x 22 1/2" x 2 3/4".

Just like EP's board, we're happy to customize any aspect of your board to your desire. If you're interested in learning what a custom board can do for you, feel free to email me at migrationsurf@gmail.com. Thanks for stopping by!

The Piping Plover is currently headed north through the Mississippi flyway on their way to their breeding grounds on the Northern  Lake Michigan shoreline. Much like the board's namesake, this 6'4" Plover has recently made it's way to Western Michigan to bask on the waves of Lake Michigan. What makes this one special is that the customer picked it up at the Rincon Invitational last weekend and took it back to my hometown of Holland, MI where he lives.

Ready to take flight. 6'2" x 23" x 3" My friend, T-Moe, told me to change the name to the "Fish Barge"

New 5'1" Plover

Sorry for the lack of posts lately. I've been extremely busy polishing surfboards this summer. In addition to working for Michel Junod at Almar Surf Works, I also started polishing at the Santa Cruz Board Builders Guild (a.k.a. "the Haut Shop") in May. Been inspired by some shapes I've worked on over there and these new inspirations will hopefully be making their way into my shapes in the near future.
Finally got back to shaping yesterday and will have a few to show over the next few weeks. Here's a new 5'1" custom Plover for Blake. This board barely fit on the racks!

New Plover

The spring migration is upon us! Need to take a lot more pictures, but here's a custom 5'10" Plover for a Great Lakes surfer in Chicago that started being glassed up today. Very cool fiberglass work on an incredibly functional shape. Perfect board for smaller mushier surf. The cool thing is that this board can actually handle surf up to a foot or two overhead and still maintain solid performance. A speed machine, order the Plover a 3-4" SHORTER than your standard fish for maximum performance and fun. Comes stock w/ Future Controller fins.

A few more boards are coming down the pipe as soon as the next batch of blanks arrive! Keep your eyes peeled.
