New Boards at Sawyer Land and Sea Supply

We officially have 2 boards in at Sawyer Land and Sea Supply. One is a 9'6" x 23" x 3 1/8" square tail Grebe with redwood tail block and resin compbands. The other is a 6'4" x 21 3/4" x 2 5/8" singlefin egg/hull. Both are beautiful boards for a great shop. Go check them out!

 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!

The Albatross

The Albatross is a noserider of the supreme variety. A classic singlefin, this board features a tear-drop concave, subtle "v" through the tail, and a slight kick of rocker coming off the tail. This particular board will be available at Third Coast Surf Shop.

Albatross are phenomenally large seabirds w/ 21 species worldwide. The Wandering Albatross boasts the longest wingspan of any living bird species, coming in at between 11 and 12 ft. long. Because of their remarkably long wingspan, they can often glide for hours without flapping their wings. Albatross spend a vast majority of their life a sea, while often coming to breed on islands. The Laysan Albatross, which breed on the Hawaiian Islands, have been known to fly all the way to the Aleutian Islands off of Alaska to find nutrient rich food for their young. Sometimes they leave their newborn chick alone for up to 3 weeks while foraging!

Because of their large size, Albatross will sometimes waddle to a cliff edge and jump off into a glide to take flight. I recommend you ride this board the same way... Walk up to the edge and glide! Just don't forget to practice your soul arc!
