 Forgive us for the blatant disregard of this blog for the last several months. We've been working hard on several different fronts, and the blog got pushed off to the side. So to update you on a few of the boards we've worked on these last few months, we want to highlight our Albatross model for the sole purpose that they have been coming out insane these last few months. The tail rockers, tail width, and foil have been slightly refined, and the glass jobs have been spot on. Our latest one that is still being built has a slightly more rounded tip of the nose that looks really clean. We are really excited about this model right now and we think you'll enjoy what you see. With summer here, having a dedicated noserider in the quiver is pretty essential for those small peeling days/weeks between the bigger swells. Get perching!

How quick the time has gone! It was a great (and HOT) summer back on the Great Lakes. We saw lots of people, made some new friends, reconnected with some old ones, did some networking, and dreamed up some sweet sleds for freshwater sliding! Oh, and we definitely got our share of freshwater waves, which is always a good thing. It's clear that the surf scene on the Great Lakes is as vibrant as ever, and we are proud to be serving up great boards for Great Lakes surfers.

While our time in MI was wonderful, we are excited to be back in action in CA. We have several custom boards lined up and we are sending two more performance longboards (a 9'0" and a 9'6") to Third Coast Surf Shop for the fall season. Be looking for them by the end of September! In addition to shaping, we are eager to get back into the salt water, and are stoked that there is a solid south swell ready to hit just in time for the Labor Day weekend. See you all out there!

In Stock at Sleeping Bear Surf and Kayak (Well, kinda)

Hello fellow Migrators! I've just returned from a family vacation to the pinky region of the Mitten. I've literally been going there since I was born and that place still holds a spell over me that I've never been able to fully express. We have AMAZING friends up there that own a quaint little surf shop at the end of M72 in the small village of Empire called Sleeping Bear Surf and Kayak. If you head up there, you've got to visit them. They are such great people! Anyway, they asked me if I would build a couple boards for their shop a couple months ago and I happily obliged. I built a 9'6" x 23" x 3 5/16" Grebe noserider for them that I stocked in the shop last week Saturday. I'd love to tell all of you to race up there and get it, but their surf instructor decided to snag it on Wednesday before anyone else, so it's already been sold! Not to fear, we are going to stock them with a quad fish very soon and hopefully going to replace the longboard not too long after that! So in the mean time, enjoy the pics and keep Migrating!
