PORTUGAL

Coast to Coast..... to coast

Shaping spacepins like theres no tomorow

PS Portugal gets pretty epic waves



TRAVEL TIME

Sorry for the recent lack of updates,

been a crazy few days of packing and traveling to EUROPE,

Made it to Portugal after endless times on planes airports, hotel , shuttles and finally landed

first day was 6ft and glassy now time to shape!



SPACEPIN EVOLUTION

One thing why I love what I do is when someone comes to me with and idea, from a completely different train of thought , forces me to really dig deep , then the end product is something i never dreamed of before .....

Thats what happened with Kevins new giant s p a c e p i n

took some inspiration from Mctavish Trackers, back to the library of EVOLUTION , particularly the board Wayne rides in Puerto Rico and the all white board NAT rides in France,

SPACEPIN

7.0 I shaped up for ERIN ASHLEY , for a couple of surf trips with Roxy and NALU magazine,

France and Scorpion Bay,

love to see boards go as far away from home as possible then make it make in one piece with tons of stories

9'4 NAT MOD

Good friend Jake Zylstra came by the shaping room yesterday after talking about ideal , fun , easy going , boards for small california summers. So heres what we came up with 

The NAT with wide point 7" back , pushed the width out , and left the rails full and bottom flatter than normal , however still no concave to distrupt the trim
